Results. HANSON REPEATS MVG!
Thursday, August 18, 2011. Loveland, Colorado.
In a tribute to the mediocrity of his playing partners, Hanson repeats as MVG.
It was hotter than BH on prom night, and the group assembled at Mariana Butte in 95 degree heat on the Colorado Front Range.
Shot of the Day: Rennich from a belly-over-belt stance, giving "hanging lie" a bad name, ball 18 inches below his feet, standing outside a sand trap, ball in the trap, Rennich stole a skin from Harley with a miracle up and down. He hit it to 18" for a par, and iced Shot of the Day and the Rino cup.
Devine broke new ground for Miss Congeniality, busting out a nutritious buffet of nuts, pretzels, yes even grapes for the group on Number 14. He also ordered WHS shirts from Washington University Bookstore to replace the tattered Costa Rican knockoffs that Hanson stole from a client so many years ago. He also provided a sleeve of Titleist Pro V-1s for the group. Devine edged out Rino for the honor.
Rennich's efforts to woo and win Miss C. were transparent and poorly received by the group. Rinerson forfeited any claim to Miss C. by repeatedly and maliciously driving over Mick's ball in the fairway. Hanson pre-empted his own nomination by selflessly advocating for Mr. Devine. The gesture went unnoticed by his teammates.
Devine holed longest putt, a 23 footer on 17 for a par four, a skin, a triple low ball carry forward chit and longest putt. Hanson showed him the line and claimed an assist.
Hanson was medalist with an 86, scorching the front nine with a 39 (two birdies) and shot himself out of contention for Miss C with such a low score.
"Hit the ball, drag Rino," chided Devine over drinks after the round. Rino collected four chits with a 7 and 8, thanks to his teamie Devine's low ball. Devine limped home the last six holes with Rino on his back.
Rino retains the putting green, four putting from 28 feet on number 10 and missed a kick-in on 3. He also claimed the CSU Commemorative Christmas Ornament.
Brooke Dudley from Mariana Butte was charming and gracious as awards presenter. Nobody on the patio can quite believe the sophomoric antics involved in this cherished tradition.
We'll be teeing it up again in October at the WHS Class of 1971 40th Year Reunion, if not sooner.
