BACK NINE STRUGGLESCONTINUE!AN OVER PAR DAY!
September 26, 2006By: Don NicholsAnsley Tuesday Afternoon Golf Tour
It was a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon that saw
16 ATAGers
take on the intimidating back nine in pursuit of the golden aleand, as each hoped, maybe even the cash booty for the
LowNet
. Once again, though, the back side prevailed as only twoplayers posted net under par scores. Two others did manage toshoot their handicap, but, as the box scores attest, the rest of the field hacked their way around the course to record some of the highest collective scores of the year. Participating in thisday’s match were:

TEAM 1 DOMINATES AT 10 UNDER !
Early arrivals
Brad Reese, Mike Gutt, Frank Corrigan, andRich Hall
were the first to tee off and never looked back asthey coasted through the back side, getting to 6 under afteronly four holes and finishing at
10 under
. There was somedrama on the porch as the second and third groups ended up
tied at 4 under
and anxiously awaited the arrival of the lastgroup which mysteriously did not arrive until some twentyminutes later, just barely beating the darkness. The fourthgroup later explained they needed the extra time to search forerrant shots on just about every hole that collectively earnedthem the right to be the
day’s patron
with a score of
2 under

HASLOW GROSS!
Twenty four handicapper

, normallyone of the head liners of the next section, surprised everyoneincluding himself by firing an impressive
45
, for a
net 3 under
to capture the day’s
Low Net Purse of 16 bucks
.
“LuckyFrank”
had
two net eagles
and
six net pars
in recording hisseason’s best and leading his team to victory. (Frank did notstay around for the conclusion of the match so the winningshave been placed into escrow until a ruling is issued by the
ATAG Rules Committee
.) The honorary
Low
Gross
was wonby
Brad Reese
who shot
39
, edging out
P.J. Wade
by onestroke.
GILMORE EDGES OUT DANZIG!
It was a lot more competitive on the high side, but
RichardGilmore
managed to use a
triple quadruple combination
on# 11 and #16 to edge out last
week’s winner David Danzig
byone
stroke to
capture
high
score
honors with a score of
52.
Craig
Sellner
and
Jeff Colbath
had their chances, but fell a littleshort with scores of
50
each.
MCGLYNN HAS SHOT OF THE DAY!
(well, sort of)
Eighteen handicapper
Kevin McGlynn
earned
“shot of theday”
honors) for his approach shot on #13 from behind the treeson # 14. Showing utter defiance for the tree barrier in front of him,
McGlynn
unhesitatingly took a full swing and zoomed the ballinto the heart of the tree branches—only to see the Ansleyhardwoods counter the assault by sending the ball back andover his head in a high arc reminiscent of a jai alai shot that landedsoftly some fifteen yards behind him.
BIRDIE CLUB ADDS TO ITS TOTAL!
Four birdies
were added to the
Birdie Club
—one each by
P.J.Wade
,
Brad Reese,
Henry Sawyer,
and
Don Nichols.
OTHER TIDBITS
●
It as another pleasant evening on the porch as the playersconversed about their day’s round and all of the “would of,could of, should of” opportunities.
Nichols
and
Sellner
told a coupleof jokes that elicited some genuine laughter and
McGlynn
followed with a lawyer joke with mixed results before theconversations shifted to even more mundane matters.
●
Rich Hall
revealed that he is an inveterate high stakes
gambler
and continually successful at
Texas Hold-Em
poker ,causing much discussion by the group and suggestions by somethat we should start an
ATAG Texas Hold-Em
league. (the
Commissioner
remained silent during the discussion but laternoted that such an endeavor does not conform to the
ATAG MissionStatement
.)
●
Jeff Colbath
, one of several ATAGers who are in the
“investment
advisory”
business (read stock broker) gave a
“buy” stock tip
on
British Petroleum
(Ticker:
BPT
), citing a current

. No one seemed anxious to hurry home toawait the next day’s opening of the market but, you never know, the
ATAG porch
could reveal the secrets of great wealth for those whofollow stock tips and pursue on line gambling (aren’t they the same?)at the recommendation of high handicapper golfers with cocktails intheir hands.
●
Russ Jobson
was a
“no notice, no show”,
but did make acameo appearance at 7:55 pm to beg forgiveness, citing a lastminute business conflict. The
Commissioner
showed leniencyby removing
Jobson
from
ATAG Death Row
and insteadsentencing him to
“Double Secret Probation
.” (side note:
Richard Gilmore
was nominated, and curiously accepted thenomination, to be the
Executioner
in the event the sentence of
“death by boogada
boogada”
is ever given to any of theplayers currently on
ATAG
Death Row.

ATAG
veterans
Mike Gaddis, Danny Morris, DougHealy, Tom
Kisgen, Marty Arnold, Don Nichols, Rick Eaton,and former ATAGer
John McClymonds
returned from theirannual golf trip to
Hilton
Head
this past week end where theyplayed
108 holes
in four days on four different courses involvingseveral two man and four man team matches and an overallindividual winner for the four day tournament.
Don Nichols
had a
nine stroke lead
going into the last day but opened thefinal round with a double bogey after topping the ball into thelake and struggled off and on all day long under the pressure of hard charging
Marty Arnold
,
Tom Kisgen
, and
DannyMorris
. Fortunately for him,
Nichols
managed to have a fewgood holes and withstood the pressure and
won by four shots
over a relentless
Arnold
with a
four day net total score of 282
.
Kisgen
and
Morris
finished
third and fourth
respectivelywith
net total scores of 293
and 294.
This wasthe first time that
Nichols
had ever won the highly competitive
ATAG Hilton Head Tournament
. (which he followed up onTuesday by posting his highest ATAG round of the season.Oddly, all of the other tournament players elected to pass thisweek.)That’s it for this week
.
See you next week when we go back tothe front nine. The days are getting shorter so we will bestarting a little earlier for those who can make it.
