Consensus is that "The Puttermeisters" have been reborn after Barb Keeler, one of our original team members, moved to Buckeye, Arizona.
Today was our first event as a Puttermeister team since Barb's departure. It surely wasn't the same but our "newest" Puttermeister, Donna Regan, did a great job of filling Barb's "big shoes".
Pictured here is the new team, from left to right: Me, Lisa Schmidt, Donna Regan, and Karen Madison. We are at Applebees (after golf) having lunch to celebrate Lisa's birthday, which we missed earlier in the month.
The event today was the "Ball Buster" Scramble at our home course of Three Lakes Golf Course. Co-sponsored by Pepsi and Budweiser, this is truly a brutal two day tournament, with the tee boxes set in very bizarre places, requiring shots to go under and between trees, and pin placements on every green set on the slippery slopes. It's a very challenging tournament, but we've played in this tournament several years and have developed fairly successful strategies for dealing with the sinister set-up.
Today we shot a team score of 76 gross, 63.5 net. I played well today and my putter was particularly effective which made me feel quite useful. With the pin placements as difficult as they are, some lucky putts are definitely appreciated!
Because we wanted to get the birthday lunch celebration under way, we didn't stay around to compare scores with the other teams. We're fairly confident this could have us in first place for the time being. We'll know in the morning when we check in before the next (and final) round.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's results...
