Note it! Live it, Breathe it, Write it down! Subject it to memory! Be the Ball!

***** GENERAL INFORMATION *****

The weather is finally starting to cooperate with our golf program.  The"mild" temperature as opposed to "scalding" brought out 12 of Aiken's finest - actually 11 1/2 as Duke (Welcome back!) only traversed the front nine(48) - not a bad score there ol' bionic boy!

Good to see some familiar faces again!

*****INDIVIDUAL HONORS*****

The point winner for Thursday was the HILTON HEAD HACKER - TOMMY.  Tommy posted a nice +9 to win the title, but he was chased to the finish line by his teammates Hergy and George and Jack, all posting +8's  In fact, Tommy won it on the last hole with a birdie!

The medalist honors were tied with TOMMY and LOUIE both shooting 82's.  Second place went to Hergy with an 83.  Pretty good golf boys!

*****HONOR ROLL*****

That's a lot of scores in the Honor ring....been a long time since we've had that many rounds under bogey!

*****TEAM COMPETITION*****

Who would have ever thought that you could score 18 points and still lose by double digits?  In almost an unworldly display the team of HERGY, GEORGE, TOMMY and WALTER smashed the all time record of 23 points by scoring 30 points for 18.

On the front they scored a +16 1/2 to outdistance second place team of David, Jack, Brent and Louie  (+8 1/2) and the third place (last) team of Ernie, Larry and Don (+3).

On the back, it was +13 1/2 for the winners, to a + 9 1/2 for the second group and +5 for the third!

Obviously, the team of HERGY, GEORGE, TOMMY and WALTER also claimed the overall 18 title with a convincing +30. All things are right with the world!

**** NEWS *****

FOOTBALL PICKS WILL BE DUE ON SATURDAY NOT THURSDAY !  I mention this because I will be out of town (Charleston) until Thursday afternoon.  You can still e-mail your selections, or give them to Don at golf on Thursday or deliver them on Saturday!

It looks as if the weekly selections will be posted on Tuesday afternoons.  The AP Poll doesn't come out till then.  I am assuming that having the Poll helps?  If not, I can send them out by Sunday's or so since I usually have two or three weeks done in advance.  Let me know if you do/don't want the AP rankings?
