Hitting both in one week - Week 9 sucked because I played like shit. But besides that, 28 brave souls came out to battle the single-digit temperatures at Westchester.
No one hit the bonus pool despite people repeatedly telling me that birdieing only 4 out of 6 of 6-7-8 X2 is disappointing. Dan Allen, he of C pool dominance until a few weeks ago, nailed 5 of 6, and James Beckner blasted a 28-footer at 6,000 miles per hour that somehow went through the pro-side chains his first time around on hole 7, and got all of the other 5 birdies. So close to grabbing that C-note, but no C-gar!
As you might guess from above, Beckner took down A pool with a blazing hot 41 - best league score, and only one ratings point short of Scott Groves' league record of 1036. Andrew Rodgers got out of second place in B pool definitively, with a score that would have been second even in A pool of 44. He loves that frozen tundra, like a kid out there on the playground. Mary Dempsey took down C pool with a really solid 58, and shouts to Kristin White and Hattie Welch for making it an all-ladies podium in C pool.
Week 10 was about 30 degrees warmer, and once again, no one hit an ace or got the Davis Bounty. Scott Groves and Robinson Culver both got 3s on 5, 6, and 9, but couldn't convert on 3 blue.
Scott made up for his near-miss on the Davis Bounty with an A-pool victory, taking down both the first and last week of league play. Britton Barnett grabbed B pool with a really solid 55 (he also creepily scored the same as me on 14 holes, including the entire Reds, and also a 4-3-6 finish on the Blues). Ryan Solberg took down C-pool for his first solo first-place finish.
Great league, everyone! Thanks for paying online, registering early, and being COVID-safe. And guess what: we're doing another one! We have the Ace Pool showdown this weekend, which everyone is eligible to play in (see the previous post for the rules there) - let me know ASAP if you're playing...entry is free and it's handicapped so anyone can win! But then we start week 1 of Winter League #14 on January 23 - same time, same places. Week 1 will be at Westchester since we'll have done two straight weeks at Davis after this Saturday.
