Notables - POP: We were book-ended by golfers but us slammers kept up and finished the round in 4:15. Well done!
-
MANY THANKS to Stevie Ray for doing an outstanding job as our Doggie Master (he only had to pick up two balls … more on that later) and for Chucker for "volunteering" to be our Skins Master (OK, he may have had some help deciding). Much appreciated!
-
QuikSnap Doggie report: The greens were so green they must have blinded a lot of players because only 2 out of 5 were hit … well a couple of three-jacks did contribute to only two slammers splitting the pot and taking home 17 bones each. Winners are Bubba (#2 at 10') and Goofball, our rookie in the field (#16 @ 33').
-
Real Fans Skins: This is spring golf, any score can get you a skin. 5 skins today with 1 birdie from Rusty, 1 par from Bubba, a bogie from chill and Chucker picks up 2 par skins. Each were worth 7 bones.
-
WELCOME: GoofBall - a rookie playing his first event and he's already signed up for more. We have a keeper here people. Very nice guy.
-
WELCOME BACK: Rusty - he played 2 events in 2015, a couple in 2012 and a few in 2011. Hopefully picking up that skin today will bring him back often in 2016.
-
NOTABLE: Did you see the summary about the No Cart Path rule? Just illustrates that Manderley cares about their entire course, even the cart paths.
Quotables
- I almost knee-capped you again Bookie on the exact same hole and course as last time. (chill says ... hmmm ... should you guys be playing together?)

Hey slammers, don't forget to write down those zingers that pop out of your mouth so we can all enjoy. Of course, they must be suitable for public consumption.

Summary
The Slammer Tour was honored to be a part of the opening day at Manderley. And what a day! Beautiful sunshine, immaculate greens (no winter kill we could find on Central-North) and an odd rule from the course that I'd never heard before. "No cart path". Yes, we were NOT allowed to drive our carts on the path due to water/mud, but we could scramble everywhere else. We were a small group as a big group is down in Binghamton right now. We may have been small but we had some top ranked slammers in the field and there was a lot of movement during some very enjoyable matches. A big thank you to Manderley for providing us with a 1st star prize - a lovely green Manderley golf hat. This course loves us! And it is reciprocated. All in all, a great day for my OC debut. Couldn't have had a better bunch of guys to play with.
Stars |

Chucker |
|
Chucker gets our number 1 star today. He goes 2-0-0 defending against Rusty and Goofball. He picks up 2 skins with pars and has the low round of the day. As the 1st star he also takes home a golf hat donated by Manderley. Sweet! |
|
Bubba |
|
It's not always about your match record. One of two slammers sporting a new titanium knee, Bubba signs up late and allows our Skins to be official. Thanks Bubba! Not only that but he decides to pick up one of those skins and captures one of the only two dogs in the field. Nice! Keep coming back Bubba. That knee is doing you proud. |
