The first week of the league playoffs was an unusual evening to say the least. With severe weather pounding the entire state since the early morning, things didn't look too good in terms of getting a round in. However, after careful study of the radar, and much Board consultation, the decision was made to play ball. Whether it was luck, or skilled forecasting can be debated. What can't be, however, is that it turned out to be a nice evening for golf. Wet course, sure. But no rain, no wind, comfortable temps, soft greens, fast play, and sunshine more than offset the wet conditions.
In the end, neither match was very close. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was just a bad night. Whatever the case, teams 14 and 6 advanced easily over teams 9 and 7. The scores of the matches were 68.5/35.5 and 64/40 respectively. This sets up a showdown between teams 14 and 6 in the finals next week. With both teams coming off big wins, it could be a great match.
Here's hoping for an easier go no-go decision next week!
