Today was cold and blustery. It didn't get much above 40 all day and a few flakes fell on #18 so it was an official C&C day. The cold didn't keep anyone at home and we had a nice turnout with 9 players in action.
John Schantz opened things up with a 20 footer for birdie on #1, a 15 foot sandie on #2 and a 20 foot birdie on #5. Stu Harris returned today and also came out strong with greenies on #4 & #8 and a birdie on #5. The birdie on #5 denied Schantz & McAreavy a 3-hole carryover team win. Alan Roides had the first big hole-out of the year when he knocked it in from 35 yards on #6 for a birdie 4.
Doug Evans continued to rack up the cash with a birdie on #14 for partner, Bard McAreavy, and a 3-hole carryover win.
The stretch run featured a few surprising low lights today as the aerated greens took their toll. Harris and Tim Saur both missed putts inside 4 feet on #16 for marks. Jim Mason missed a putt to tie from inside 4 feet on #17 and suffered a 3-hole loss with Saur.
However, the day finished with a bang, as the Mighty Bernie Quinn reappeared. Schantz was captain on #18 with Andrew Burns and Quinn being the strokers. Quinn ripped one of his patented bombs off the tee and was quickly chosen. Bernie was in the same position yesterday and it did not go well. Today was a new day and he fired a solid iron shot 3 paces short of the green. Meanwhile, from out of the woods, Burns was had it 20 yards short of the green. With a putter in hand he did his best Scott McCarron impression and hit it to 4 feet.
Schantz picked out a line for Quinn and Bernie hit a solid 40 foot putt. Thirty-five feet from where he stood it hit the pin and dropped for the 3 net 2 and a 2-hole carryover win. The legend of the Mighty Quinn lives!
