In a Cup of firsts ...Team Glazer won or halved the last 5 matches on Monday, all ending on 18, to complete a miraculous finish to a rainy weekend.  With the Cup tied 3-3 going into the final round, Eight of the twelve matches on Monday ended on #17 or 18 with Team Glazer prevailing in 7 of the 12 final single matches to clinch their 4th consecutive Cup victory.  Key moments included:

  • Team Googel rookie Jeff Azia blowing a 2 hole lead to Team Glazer rookie Chris Birks (they halved)
  • Glazer Captain Randy Curtis coming back from 1 down with 2 to go to win 1-up (vs Kallin)
  • Tony Vergnetti (Googel) missing a 4 foot putt on 18 vs Fink (Glazer) that would have halved the match
  • Will Moore (Googel) missing a 4 foot putt on 18 that would have won the match vs yours truly (Glazer).  We halved.
  • LoveDog (Googel) losing the 18th and the match to Veeters (Glazer), one-up.
  • The first time in GC history that the winner of the Greeny-Googel match was not on the winning Googel Cup team (OK, I am not 100% sure on this one, LD can you confirm?)
The REAL highlights were:
  • a 12 person squiggums game
  • Curtis finally making a real impact off the golf course
  • Steak without Schuster
  • Two rookies winning the BBBP -- that's what happens when Veeters regular partner (who goes nameless) isn't there to carry him
  • A light chug
  • A chug and two throw backs on the same point
  • A game starting before noon
  • Googel chugging 10 times for the weekend (not a typo, ask Kallin)
  • Mike Franceschelli in the Mike Franceschelli room (even the car wrecks make the highlight reel)
  • A new scotch wingman for Jimmy Ho
  • A lost club in the stream on 13 (thrown from about 70 yards out, it was a helluva toss)
  • A Rosen we can finally embrace
  • A fixed ending to our boat race
  • Gluten free beer
  • a new iPod speaker system
  • A major electricity problem overcome by our cracker jack lighting crew
  • 40+ hours of radar watching
  • Three guys almost getting us banned from the Point Sebgao golf course (you know who you are)
  • An almost hole in one on 17
  • A mere 8 cans of beer remaining after the smoke cleared (and the rain ended)
