To paraphrase Paul McCartney:
Will you still need me
Will you still pay me
When I'm sixty-four
Yes, yes you will, as long as my partner is fellow 64 year old Gene Baldino.
It's been a while since I fired up the C&C blog. What better time than opening day of the 2024 flocksome season. Thanks to Doug Evans for pulling together a field of 6 players including newbie Brandon Nunn.
On a day when the field could not notch a single victory the day was highlighted (or lowlighted depending on your point of view) by three, 3-hole carryover wins by the team of Schantz and Baldino on holes 6, 13 and 18. Gene had a nice sandy, net 4 on 6, I had a 2-putt net 3 on 13 and Gene again with a fairway wood from 200 yds on 18 for a 2-putt net 3.
The other big highlight was Brandon with a 3-hole carryover loner on 11 where he made sandy-birdie. Brandon also bagged 3 greenies on 4,8 and 17 for 5 marks on the day. Brandon had numerous birdie chances all day but could not get a putt to fall. His 4 on 11 was the only birdie for the group all day.
Good to be out with the crew again. Fun to get paid again.
