The Villages: a blind draw, Circles II, and a five-club swing
Big thanks to Clarence B. — out there holding one of his professionally produced scorecards — for all his hard work before and after the tourney. I don’t think I’ve ever played in a blind draw tournament before, so congrats to what turned out to be the winners: Mike H., Jerry J., Henry V. and Bob P. Also out there: Jerry J., the honorable collector; Mike D. carb loading for the match; Gary P. on the range discussing with me whether it’s better to play the combo with four extra strokes or take the distance and move up and play the 2’s (Gary, do you want to weigh in?); and Jeff S. practicing his impressive, albeit illegal, five-club swing. And one look at Sam A. on the tee leaves little doubt why he hits the ball so far. Great finish. Fun round today. I’m away next week, so enjoy Lagos.
