    It was a blast to play with Tess.  Great sportsmanship throughout.  I have already posted the trophy on my profile page with pride.  Many thanks to Electra and all their participants.  The organizers did an amazing job putting the tournament together quickly and executing it with military precision.

    OK here goes,

    1st Hole,,halved in Pars,

    2nd hole...Amy puts one in close to 2,4 feet under the hole,I hit one too 6 feet but a nightmare put for my partner who narrowly misses,..1 down

    3rd hole,,Amy makes use of tier advantage and wallops a huge drive leaving King 113 yards ,I hit a drive to around 134,Shade hits a solid approach to 8 feet King hits to 5 feet hole halved ,still 1down.

    4th, hole,(par5) Both teams hit birds ,,still 1 down,

    5th hole,,Kings approach is short around 20 feet Amy narrowly misses,,Shde hits another crunch approach to 4 ,9 feet i hit the bird AS.

    6th Hole(par 3)..Shade leaves me pin high right around 17 feet 7 inches downhill King leaves Amy short below the hole around 18 feet,both players shave the hole especially my putt which looked so good,AS

    7th hole,,Amy again takes full advantage of tier and wallops a huge drive to around 130yards out (not sure though) Shade has quite a long approach,(i put kettle on then forgot the distance) he hits the shot of the match so far to 2,9 feet wow,King hits past the hole around 15 feet and Amy hits a nice putt just a tad too hard and doesnt take last 2 feet of break..we are now 1up.

    8th hole.(par3) wind behind and across around 14,,Shade hits a nice drive just rolls in fringe 7 yards past,,King responds after a disappointing approach on 7 by his standards to hit one in to 11 feet, right to left putt, I miss the chip opportunity and Amy makes a Crunch putt to level the  match AS.

    9TH hole,2 nice drives ,And King and Shade both have 183 9 wind against,King goes for green and leaves Amy around 28 feet putt,Shade puts me in Bunker i almost hole it coming up 7 inches short perfect line,,Amy has incredibly difficult putt,She lets time run down and contemplates her move,Then places the ball left and 12 feet past ,Not going for the hole at all Now king has uphill par putt from 12 feet right to left to keep the match AS Bingo in it goes and a tremendous 2 putt is achieved

    10th hole.2 nice drives and I have around 123 12 wind helping and across Amy has around 130 i think,Amy goes long some 5 yards past i hit too 2 yards,King narrowly misses  Shade makes another crunch putt ,, we are 1 up,

    12th hole,Amys drive goes in weeds wind behind 80 90 Brush>wow<,We win hole from that and go 2 up,

    13th hole, both teams make solid birds(par 5) still 2up,

    14th par3.Both teams make par still 2up.

    15th hole and Amy makes her move on the match with a fantastic Eagle from 100 yards we are only 1 up.

    16th was a telling hole in the match,After 2 nice drives , Shade has around 178 King around 160, wind, Shade plays sensible shot center green leaves me a makeable putt which i narrowly miss,Amy has 11 feet for bird and its a huge putt at this point inb the match,its a right to left early breaker and she hits a nice putt but doesnt quite let it drfit over early enough,phew, Still 1 up

    17,ive got this wrong because we were 2 up playing 17, i think ,ok yes im right,Amy and King 3 putted the par 3 to make us 2 up,Both teams birdie 17 and Shade and myself win 2and 1,Great match,

    "Congrats On A Fine Invitational woo hoo!"

    The first place credits have been delivered to Infinito. Congrats on a great win to the Team of Priestess/Infinito3010... your excellent play and great sportsmanship has done us all at Electra proud... and a big woo hoo!

    Ironking, It was a pleasure to have you over to our house to bash a few. The showing that you made in such a great field is a testament to your abilities as one of the top players on WGT and Electra thanks you for being apart of our Invitational! Woo Hoo

    Amy, you worked very hard and practiced for many a long hour and it showed in your final match, good dedication.

    I would like to first and foremost thank all of our guests for being a part of the Electra Invitational, I hope you got a better understanding of who we are and what Electra is all about. It was our great pleasure to have you over to our house, the level of play and the amount of fun enjoyed was just incredible and I know it will stay in our minds as one of the great experiences of our time on WGT.... Remember the door is always open so come back for a visit anytime... Woo Hoo

    I want to thank all of our sponsors for their kind donations for without them the pot would not have been as sweet as it was :) Also, I want to thank all of our members because anyone of them was ready and willing to jump in were ever needed and to give sound advice and helping hand.... you all rock woo hoo!

    Dano, Julien, Tess and Mio, you all worked very hard on your parts and without that grand effort this invitational would not have come off as slick as it did... woo hoo :)

    Lisa what can I say, you are one of the most hard working, dedicated, know her stuff spot on person that I have ever had the honor and pleasure to work with, you may not say much, but when you do it is most powerful :) and when I was getting dragged down and exhausted with all of this.... It was your quiet words in my ear that gave me the strength to carry on.... I thank you for that Lisa and a big mwahhh :)

    I would also like to give a special prize to 2 Electra members of what I thought was moments of great sportsmanship that best exemplifies what Electra is all about.

    1) To Jayme (knucklewoods) who had the right for a forfeit because of deadlines and a time mix up, but waited for 2 more hours past the forfeit time to get the match in, still on  deadline... great sportsmanship Jayme mwahh and hugs

    2) To Chuckiee, it was a heroic effort to make a deadline in the round of 16, so dedicated he was, he made deals with his boss and came home on his lunch hour from work on Saturday to make it happen and then a storm took out his power and it was all for nothing... Chuckiee got in touch with me and said he would have to forfeit but he still went to his boss hat in hand I'm sure and got permission to do the same thing on Sunday (the deadline btw) and got the match in.

    Both examples make me very proud to call you my friends.... I'm sending you both a pack of Callaways and a big Mwahhh woo hoo :))

    And finally to my partner Simovoice, we may not have lasted long but I will always hold dear to my heart the time we had together and the words of encouragement that you gave me.... It makes my heart soar that you came as a guest and decided to stay, woo hoo! Electra is all the better for having you in our family now... Mwahh my King :)

    Now it's time for one last thing..........

    IT'S OVER!!!
