Very hot and extremely muggy today in Westford, Massachusetts. There were thunderstorms rumbling south of us but we played mostly in hot and hazy sunshine. For those who are interested, here are the results following first round play (parenthesis indicates score against designated strokes allotment):

1. El Dandito: 81 (-9)
2. Killer: 78 (-5)
3. Doggy Duval: 95 (-4)
4. Goose 93 (Even)
5. The Funny Guy: 97 (+5)
6. Kernel Klink: 105 (+6)
7. The Great White Shank: 115 (+9)
8. Cubby: 118 (+12)

Why such a poor score for The Great White Shank, you ask? Basically, a combination of an erratic tee game and some poor course management. Tomorrow is moving day at The Overlook G.C. in Hollis, NH, however, and my feeling is you’ll see The Great White Shank begin to creep his way up the leaderboard. If not, that’s OK – the beer is cold, there’s been a lot of yuks, and everyone is having a good time, which, in the end, is all that counts.
