All, Sorry for the delayed response... but my e-mail was inoperable over the weekend. That turned out to be a blessing as I was able to focus on golf fun... at Pebble Beach and some lovely nearby courses. Check out www.pasatiempo.com and www.halfmoonbaygolf.com if you want see what I was doing when not on the hallowed grounds of the 100th US Open. As much as we had a runaway winner at the Open... (I mean, really... what else can you say. Roll this one around for a while... low round 3 of 4 days, second low round the other), we also had one in the Pool. The man who normally has to be cajoled to join... the man whose team was backed by Gabes and I on more than one occasion, whipped all of our asses as bad as Tiger whipped on the field. The numbers say it all.... Ranked by Score 1 Fox 294 287 301 281 1163 2 Andy 289 298 310 297 1194 3 Jack 289 297 310 299 1195 4 Ikey 290 294 310 302 1196 5 Prep 293 303 306 296 1198 6 Hans 285 298 315 300 1198 7 Mags 292 300 317 302 1211 8 Al 288 308 324 302 1222 9 Sobo 299 303 317 309 1228 10 Gabes 297 299 330 313 1239 11 Willo 299 301 335 318 1253 #1 Daily Hans Babs #2 Daily Fox Ikey Daily 19 and 8.50 # 3 Daily Fox Prep # 4 Daily Fox Prep Total 100, 40, 25 THIRTY One strokes!!! An ASS whupping! Look at the fights for place... 4 strokes separate 5 teams. But Fox laps the field.... WITHOUT Tiger! Sobo, here are the $$$ distributions out of a pool of $265. Of course, all contribute $25 into thye pool. Fox 157 Andy 40 Jack 25 Hans 19 Prep 17 Babs 8.50 Ikey 8.50 Ikey, you would have been a mortal lock for second if not for Franco's 82 on the last day. The worst score by SIX strokes, which also ruined anyone who had cut golfers. See you at the British Open. Where Tiger will be a prohibitive favorite at a course that is wonderfully suited to his game... of course, what course isn't? Babs
