August at The 'Burn

We leave our scramble nights behind and head into August.  Team 5 seems serious about this Cup thing as they extend their lead, but let the group bunch up more behind them.  Team 4 takes the Scramble easily and jumps right back into the fray.  Team 3 survives.  Team 2 misses a chance.  Team 1 says they are cursed, but they are still in it.

Three regular round robin weeks remain followed by Championship night.  All within the dry month of August.  At Wesburn.

Last (Two) Man (Scramble) Standing

Team 5 has created some separation for most teams finally.  The league is still bunched up with a mere 22.5 point spread total, but only one team is within a one-week striking distance from the first place veterans.  That team?  Team 3.  That is correct.  Team 3, the super team comprised the two most recent cup winners still playing in the league.  Is Team 3 finally making their long anticipated and feared move?  Is Team 5 capable of keeping those powers at bay?  Can Teams 2 and 4 bounce back from a bad Position Night to stake their claim to the pursuit of the cup?  Meanwhile, Team 1 has shown some life with a stellar scramble this week.  With two more scrambles, they have a chance to let everyone beat up on each other and sneak back into the Cup Chase.  The last 5 weeks begin on Wednesday at Wesburn!

Note:  The scores sheet at the bottom right now includes hard core cryptic scores for some substitutes.

Yeah, I know, it is called The Open Championship.  You can follow it here:

Does anyone else notice how St. Andrews is really not in any better shape than our own Wesburn?

What the Klotz?

Team Klotz has made another statement!  The rookie team will not go away and has thrust themselves into the fray.  They are looking Team 5 into the eye this week on Position Night #3 and saying, “How you guys doing?  When do we tee off?” The Klotz brothers have benefitted by Jeff’s recent scores, beating his opponent outright while receiving strokes most of the time.  Can they keep this up?  Find out this week, as we all know the Road to the Fore Skin Cup doesn’t start until Position Night #3.  This week, at beautiful (dry) Wesburn!

The Adventures of Burger King and Two Point Oh

Team 5 has used it’s “Scramble Season” to solidify as much of a hold on first place as any team has enjoyed in Twenty Ten.  But now they have to look opponents in the eye and come through when it counts.  With the next Position Night looming a week away, Team 5 has to battle the current second place Team 2 in a warm up of sorts.  That, my friends, is the match of the week.  All the while, the other three teams loom with legitimate chances to claim first place as early as this week!  It is crazy when Wesburn and Fore Skins get past the 4th of July.  So be there, this week (tonight, yes I know, The Captain updated today only) at Wesburn Golf and Country Club!

Bye Team 5

Using multiple weeks of two man scrambles, Team 5 is in the midst of making their move.  They have gone out front and have another BYE in their pocket this week.  Team 1 was their victim this week as they tumbled down farther away from first place.  Yet still, the league is bunched up fairly tight.  Be there this week as we head down the backstretch, at Wesburn.

Update: Another scorcher today!  Drink your fluids.  BEFORE and DURING golf.  Cart Girl Annie provides.
