THE TERM "MULLIGAN" TAKES A NEW MEANING....

Oh, Oh... That one stayed
in bounds! We are in trouble!

The Thursday Couples league resumed on Thursday the 28th with 17 people in 8 teams (Allen Robinson ended up paired up with Dayva Spitzer and his wife Kathy in two different teams).

I think I can do
something with that one...

In this Thursday event, each participant gets a mulligan, but no one had ever used it as well as Ricky Marr did Thursday afternoon. With his team (with Ramona Alvarez) already 4 under par after 5 holes, Ricky hit his ball out of bounds right on #6. Ramona followed with  a solid tee shot that took a bad bounce and yes, out of bounds as well. Ramona took her mulligan first and this time, she hit farther right than the first time and ended out of bounds again. It was up to Ricky now, who proceeded to hit his mulligan in bounds and then hit his approach shot to a couple of feet for a tap-in eagle, therefore turning a possible 7 into a 3, a four shot swing that earned his team a first place with a stunning 6 under par for the nine holes played.

Can you believe that? I hate losing
to him! (I actually hate losing
any time.. period!!)

Later, Ricky said, "it was the most fun I've had on a golf course for years, the best part is that we beat Ann Cowan!" (Ann usually gets the best of him). By his account, Ann and Joe Wynn should have won had it not been for the "mulligan" rule, but hey, "I didn't write the rules" he said, "just played by them!" Ann Cowan and Joe Wynn earned 2nd place with a 33. Ann's last comments were, "I don't know what he was doing wrong that he played so good!"

See you on Tuesday (Men's Scramble) and Thursday again (Couples Scramble).
