Norwalk Fall Classic, October 29

Almost a full field at Norwalk this weekend. Mike M, Saito, Shankmeister, Maddog and Myself on a cold fall day.

Results:

Doubles

Ben/Dave -8
Mike/Saito/Ravi -1

The Dream Team was on fire. Dave was a putting machine and my drives were going long and true. If only I could have Dave putt for me all the time. The Triple Threat team put up a game fight but alas, they just could not hang with the one two knockout combo of B and D. Of course Mike M, predictably, did not really begin trying until the singles match, with Ravi emerging as the MVP of the Triple Threat.

Singles (combined 36 holes)

Ben 6
Ravi 12
Dave 13
MikeM 13
Saito 20 something

Mr Norwalk lived up to the hype. Ravi, however, was playing extremely well and came out blisteringly hot, staking himself to an early 4 stroke lead at 2 under par. Ben and Mike managed to keep it close though and heading into round 2 Ben ended up clinging to a one stroke lead over Ravi and Mike (+2, +3, +3) due to some misteps by the Shankmeister on the back 9. Both Mike and Ravi seemed to lose a bit of focus about hole 6 and by the time they had recovered Ben had opened up a comfortable lead. Dave was quite unexpectedly a non-factor till the very end when all of sudden second seemed possible. Ravi stuck the long putt to prevent a play off for second and somehow managed to fenagle a 4 dollar item and a brand new disc out of notoriously stingy Dave on the car ride home.
