bhoese:
I ninja'd Gary with a 310.52 on the 12th...a difference of 6 1/2 inches!
David (hyena64) and I are in the clubhouse with scores a couple of strokes higher than we were shooting for. We had a great time with lots of wacky shots and unfortunate winds. We had screaming 30 MPH tails and front pins on both par 3s. David refused to par a hole on the front because he has a thing for circles and squares. He hit a lot of great iron shots and wedges. My putting was much improved over Oakmont and could have been extraordinary...but I left a 45 footer three inches short and lipped one out from 80+.
bhoese 71
hyena64 81
Great report, guys! Bad luck on the par 3s! And, congrats Ben on the long drive so far... Now, if you'd only hit it another 1/2 yard, my guess would be the closest :(
Great stuff! It's fun to have this extra bit of excitement going on. Tough luck, Gary, I thought you had it there.
Corwyn: Don't forget everyone, that joe (joewaters) made
this kind offer of a
prize for Longest Drive in the tourney.
... We got a handful of guesses earlier in the thread: I'm assuming you want to award the 'Guess' prize based on closest guess, yes?
Here, btw, are the guesses I could find in the thread. (Do say so if I missed your guess!):
joewaters: My guess is 304 yards
Corwyn: I'm going to try for 318 yards
hyena64: 321 on the drive.
Hanswurst72: My guess for the longest drive is 339 yds, on the fairway obvisouly.
mnshiner: In practice with a 31 mph tailwind had one go 347 yards.
