Shakin' not Stirred

Last Friday was an interesting day at WPark CC. Mr Don Shingles heard a "weather alert" and did not show. Naturally, this allowed 12 players to complete their round with virtually no "umbrella time."

Brian "Thor" Michaels showed up with his A-game and posted a very strong 37 with 34 points, with a sterling +7 score. As he arrived with the first group, he exhibited some "confidence" that he would possibly be winning something in dollars and Pfing-ex cup points. His playing partners "Judge Gerald" the pro , and Jon Erickson were sanguine about having demanded/promoted El Conejo to the first group so that they could "avenge the rabbit" from Wed. With Shakey Gene Myatt shaking his head on the first tee, and thinking that "demanding" HPfing play in the A-group so that could get their dollar back was not a great idea, the games began. As all three groups finished with no damage from the weather, thanks to Shingles not showing up, and some disconcerting things happened. First, Paul "Senator" Ackerman arrived and
also was +7. Brian is like OK, we split the money but we both get Pfing-ex cup points, which are way more valuable than money unless your name is Shingles and you are trying to pay for your 7th new set of clubs in 20 months. Then, Brian's partners Steve Dez and Waggling Jack posted their scores and now "Thor's" team was +12. Looking good at this point. Jon Erickson hit it stiff on #7, and tapped in for birdie to finish
overall at +5. He fortuitously was partners with Senator Paul A and now that team is +12-----
some drama building here----------- but wait, if you call in the next 20 minutes----then you can make only 3 payments instead of 4----- for the same inferior product--- but let us not digress.
A gritty El Conejo limped in at +2 but providentially was on the team with Paul and Jon, ergo you non math majors, a +14 total. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Joe O was on the team with Gerald and S. Gene M.
Think rock and roll classic hits here, the group, Steam,the song, Nah-nah-hey-hey-good-bye.
A devastated Brian was thinking, I have been BRUCED, but at least I am still tied as top individual, which will help me in my struggle against Judge Gerald for the Pfing-ex cup.
But to quote Shakespeare, alas and alack, while Gerald was +3 and Joe O was -1, our own 007, Shaken but not Stirred, was +9 to claim the top individual AND help his team finish in 3rd place at +11, which is an outstanding losing score. This also caused Brian to weep and gnash his teeth in the outer darkness, as he was both SHAKEN and STIRRED by Gene Myatt for top individual.
In the land of the rabbit, Brian did not win, Jon E did not win, and Gerald did not win.
El Conejo has no comment at this time.
Wed at 230 pm for those that are available to enrich the retirement fund of ----El Conejo-----
For many of us that knew him well, Sam Singhaus passed away today. One of the few really classy members of the EHS golf group.
