What a Day!

[Fourputt]

First Men's Club competition was today.  5 man scramble has been our first tournament each season since 1972, and we just returned the lowest score ever for the event.  The whole team was "in the zone".  We made almost every putt we looked at, and only 2 were under 10 feet.  This isn't a packed team of ringers... it's set up by the pairings computer from the list of entries so that each team's total handicaps are very close, and  each team has an A,B,C,D, and E player.  Our team's handicaps ranged from 8 to 20. 

We made 3 pars, 3 eagles, and 12 birdies for an 18 under par 54, 4 strokes better than the closest competitor.  I've always enjoyed this tournament, but hadn't finished in the money since 1989.  We use basic scramble rules, along with the requirement that each player's drive must be used at least once each 9 holes.  We won for low score, and we also got to split the pot for the only skin out for the field.  That worked out to $123 for each of us.  Won't know what the prize money on the books in the pro shop is until they post it later this week.

This is our card:
