While there were no event shirts this year, the small number of players gave us some new options - the expanded format and some special individual awards.New format - as there were only two groups and the team of The Carpenter, The Mesmerizer, and The Howitzer had a commanding -6 to -3 lead going into the last hole, we played the par 5, # 18 together. The hole was played with a 7-player scramble format with the following caveat:
Drive - everyone was required to do a "Happy Gilmore" drive. Way harder than you think!Second - everyone had to hit Eric's fairway 2-wood.
Approach (drives were not good) - from about 90 yards with Eric's "adjustable club."
Putt - again with Eric's adjustable club.
The Howitzer made the birdie on the 7th putt. Nice! A -7 to -4 win for half of the defending Overland champs of RM and JC and CH gets his name on The Lord Steamer Cup!
And now for the Awards:
The Sam Malone Award - for excellence in bar tending - to Bada Bing. At the turn we stopped for Jager shots. And they may have been the largest Jagers in history (about 3 fingers high in cocktail glasses). In a move described as "all class" Bada ordered Pabst Blue Ribbon as the chaser. Jager and PBR - smooth!
The Magnum PI Award - who really didn't think The Carpenter wouldn't wear a Hawaiian shirt?
The Al Macinnis Award - for force in every shot - to the SoCo Jedi. You will probably never see anyone swing a club harder and I think his dozen lost balls and locked-up back is proof positive!
The Swingers Award - and I am not talking about a golf swing. Think of the classic movie. K-PAX really got some vibe from the bartender. And like the movie I think she wanted to go back to the trailer for some "partying." Hey-oh! Cue up Heart's "Barracuda!"

The Eric Johnson award - yes, the former # 1 pick / Blues' young D-Man - to The Tripod. Yes, the golf-cart-related injury award. After missing his golf ball on a quick drive-by, the cart driver (Verbal / Kaiser) whipped the steering wheel to the left. A big lummox went flying out of the cart - unfortunately landing first on the golf ball in his right front pocket. I hear his leg still hurts!
The BDSM Award - to the Mesmerizer. As we approached the 18th he had a few beers in his system and meant to ask the other team if they were conceding the match. Instead he asked if we "would consent to losing." The statement was quite chilling and silence overtook the group!

The Porn Star Award - to the Howitzer. Not only would he yell while shots were being fired, he also put about a 100-yard pitching wedge off the roof of Bada and E5's cart. Way to drop your shot on some heads.
So, that's it. Thanks to everyone that participated. We will try to organize earlier next year!
