5th Annual Slyder Cup at Heritage Hills GC

We played our Slyder Cup Tournament today at Heritage Hills GC.  Regular readers may know what this Slyder Cup is, but for you novices to my blog, it's a match play tournament between Two teams, J. R. Harris and me, and Harold Goad and Barry Rahn. They played from the white tees, we play  from the Gold.  They gave us two strokes a side, given on the low handicap holes.  The first six holes we played our  own ball, low team totat wins the hole. The next 6 holes we played alternate shot, low team wins each hole, and the last six holes we played as a scramble, low score winning each hole.  It has always been a close match, and today was no exception.  On the 18th tee, we were tied.  Both teams hit good drives down the left side, near the water, leaving a short 80 yard shot over the water to the green.  I hit a ball about 6-7 feet left of the hole.  Their best shot was short and just off the front of the green on the hillside.  They missed their chip.  J. R. stepped up and drilled the putt for the victory! So, we won and Harold and Barry had to buy the White Castles!
It's amazing that almost every time we play it comes down to the last putt.  I think both teams have won a match closing out the opposing team with several holes to go, but the others have been down to the last shot. 
The next Slyder Cup will be held sometime in September or October.  Get your tickets now and avoid the last minuite rush.
