It was a gorgeous fall day but low overnight temps made for a frosty start and tee time was delayed until 10:45. We had seven players tee it up on #1 with former club champ David Fries joining the crew on #6 tee.
Andrew Burns led off choosing John Schantz as his partner. After a solid second shot bounced over the still frozen green Schantz managed to navigate a frosty chip shot for an up and down par and a rare par win for the team on #1.
Doug Evans and Jim Mason could not manage a par on #3 and lost the 2 hole carryover. Mason then teamed up with young Chris Evans for another loss on #4 when Chris 3-putted from 12 feet and lost not only the hole but the greenie.
On #6 Schantz and Fries lost the 2 hole carryover to a birdie by Brad McAreavy. On #8 tee Fries discovered he had been on the losing end on #6. He was so unhappy that he laced one of his patented iron shots to 12 feet, took the loner, made the putt and won the hole when Andrew Burns missed an 8 foot birdie to tie. Memo to John: Don't get David mad!
Unfortunately for David he was on the losing end of 3 hole carryover team losses on #'s 11 and 16 with Doug "putter drop" Evans and Phil Yawman respectively. Burns managed a 12 foot par putt on #17 to save himself from a team loss and set up Fries for the lucky loser captaincy on #18.
It wasn't looking great for team Fries and Burns after Jim Mason knocked his running 3 wood to 9" for a field birdie. But once again Andrew came up big with a par save and net birdie for the tie. Still, Dr. Fries ended up on the losing end for the day. Watch out for a big Sunday comeback by Dr. Fries tomorrow.
