    Default I came in second place.

    I won low amateur round with a 75 on Saturday, even 1 stroke better than the Pro I was teamed with that day.

    We lost the overall team event by one stroke in a stunning way.

    The 7th hole is a 200 yd par 3. The tournament is playing closest to the pins for all par threes everyday for amateurs. Closest gets 100 in the clubhouse. I knock it stiff. About 2 feet away. So I figure Id win at least that.

    Well, the team that beat us had an amateur who aced it! And they beat us by 1 stroke.


    The guy, who I know, was laughing about how he was lucky to get one when it was an open bar, hence not having to buy a round. Until his father in law pointed out that the party ended at 6 and the bar 2 miles down the road would certainly take his money there.

    I drank Macallan 18 for the rest of the night on his tab.

    To any golfers, if you have the chance to play one of these events, do it. It's a great time.

    Couldn't get your Illuminatus brothers to hook you up with a victory?



    Congrats on the great showing.

    Which is why I will never get a hole in one

    I was only halfheartedly reading until I got to the "free single malt all night" part.

    Well done, sir!

    good job Kilmer! while not big on golf, we did used to ride the washington golf and country club course on our dirt bikes occasionally . I mean what a waste of real estate when you could've had a killer moto cross park.

    I feel I should ask Kilmer, how many teams played in this event. It was more then 2 correct.

    I kid, I kid.

    Congrats on the showing. I would give my left arm to be able to shoot a 75 in a round of golf.

    A one-armed man shooting a 75? Now THAT would be a great story.
