We had a nice turnout for our mini-trip to Aiken Golf Club. Unfortunately for our group, the scoring woes continued. Seems as though no one can figure out how to put all of the pieces of the game together on the same hole, let alone the same round. It's got to get better, boys, cause it can't get much worse!

Remember: "Golf is 20% mechanics and technique. The other 80% is philosophy, humor, tragedy, romance, melodrama, companionship, camaraderie, cussedness, and conversation." -Grantland Rice

Individual Honors

We had a tie today for the individual point honors: Ernie (45-44) and Brent (41-46) tied at +1 for the 18. The only other golfers on the "positive" side of things were Walter and Hergy who managed to just "pull their points" and finish at "0". The other 5 golfers were fairly close to the even mark, except one, who shall remain nameless at -8. (see HHH & S News below). Notable nines: Brent and Tommy shot 41's, Ron shot a 43 and everything after that isn't very newsworthy........is it.

Team Competition

Even though we are struggling a little right now individually, the Team competition has remained a fairly close competition. The trio of Walter, Brent and Hergy shot a +5 to win the front nine, but fell to a -4 on the back to finish at +1 for the 18. Ernie, Larry and Marshall managed to sneak in a -2 to win the back and salvage at least a little pride (and money). The last group of Ron, Jack and Tommy struggled to a third place finish!

HHH & S News

-------------------

I hate to bring this up, but feel it is my responsibility as the editor to report items of interest, even though we are not a tabloid-type newsletter and don't subscribe to that type of journalism.

We have from credible sources that last year's POY is currently under investigation by the POY committee for allegedly "sandbagging" last fall in a blatant attempt to fool the judge(s) and influence their/his decision. The penalty, we are told, will be a return of the solid gold trophy, forfeiture of the winning purse of $1,500 and he will have to wear a t-shirt when golfing with the HHH & S membership that states "I are a Waffurd graduate". It is hard to believe that things could have sunk this low!

-------------------

We, of course, will keep on top of this story as more facts become available. We mention this sordid bit of news, by the way, because it has become apparent that he is trying to do the same thing this year as evidenced by his shooting a -8 today in preparation of the BIG COLLEGE TOURNAMENT on October 4th. Honestly, sir, have you no shame!!!
