2014 Erie/Cleveland/Pittsburgh/Buffalo Summer Get-Together (August 16-17)

[GolfLug]

Yeah, the playoff video:

Damn, didn't realize Brian's final chip was that close to Cedric's.

[GolfLug]

That is doable.

Sorry, my bad. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying all along.

[CarlSpackler]

Yeah, the playoff video:

Yes. It was an epic battle. Fun to watch. =)

[billchao]

Yes. It was an epic battle. Fun to watch. =)

And good the second time around, too.

9 holes, 21 putts... I felt worse watching the replay.

@cedrictheo told me after the fact that neither of you really cared which prize you got.

There was definitely no loser in that situation.  Had I been forced to make the decision, I think the result would be the same. I would have chosen the game golf.  But, I would never be upset with a X2 Hot 3W.

You should have hit your approach shots closer ;-)

I had a great time. It was really nice to meet folks and renew old acquaintances. Wish I could have actually put the club face on the ball a little more instead of using the hosel, but hey they sort of went toward the hole, just not on the straightest line. BTW--Went to the range last night and what do you know... ball goes straight(er) again.  Must have been the influence of the lake or something.

I'd like to thank my teammates over the weekend for enduring my play, and especially thank @iacas , @mvmac and @david_wedzik for organizing.

Looks like it was a very fun day.

Some more pictures.

#4 at Whispering Woods… Beguiler of many on that fateful Sunday.

@Rob Thompson on #4.

@BradSomrak

@Jeremie Boop prior to… well… we won't talk about that. :D

@billchao doing his Hogan impression:

@jamo wants to be Dufner. Or at least be married to Dufner's wife. He's got the waggle down.

The winning team of @macdaddy18 , @cedrictheo , @rwolfe , and @vasaribm all hit the fourth fairway (and the fourth green!)

@macdaddy18 plays to the fourth green:

As does @cedrictheo

And @rwolfe

The winning team, again: @macdaddy18 , @rwolfe , @vasaribm , and @cedrictheo , the last two of which were co-team-MVPs and co-tournament-MVPs.

That meant that in addition to their awesome Callaway Player's Towels and neat-o hats, they won a Callaway X2 Hot 3W ( @cedrictheo ), and a GAME Golf system ( @vasaribm ).

Awesome pics, @iacas ! I'm looking forward to the shenanigans next year!

[CarlSpackler]

I had actually had a short birdie putt on 14. Missed it of course.

[Slice of Life]

Awesome pics, Erik. Forgot how nice that course is. Maybe I can sneak out that way before the season is over for a round.
