Thursday April 7
Yes, it was baseball's opening day. Yes, it was the first round of the Masters. However, there was much more anticipation here at Kimbeland CC. Could Raymond do the unthinkable, nearly impossible task of winning the CTP for a third straight round? The Coveted "Floyd"? After struggling through an anxiety filled sleepless night, Raymond new he would have a target on his back as he teed off. Literally.
The round started out in very cool temperatures, and though it warmed some, the wind picked up considerably during the round causing havoc with today's scoring. Only 3 of the 18 participants would see their number go up in these tough conditions, led by our Medalist Jeff with +4. Roger at +3, and Gary +2 completed the very short list.
The ever-optimistic Norm showed up in shorts and sandals.
The pressure proved too much for Raymond, missing the green on 18, eliminating him from competition. At least it was over quickly, he didn't have to sit and watch everyone else's attempts.
Congrats to Butch for winning his first CTP with a quality shot into a strong wind. Dean's birdie on 7 takes rabbit for his team.
No, that is not Doug Heffernon from the King of Queens. It is Josh sporting his new Ping hat, ignoring Glen's critique of the brown color. Remember Josh, Glen is known to favor Buchheit's and Wal-Mart for his golf attire.
