May 2007 Golf Update

May was golf month. There were boatload of tournaments, the golf league,other outings and of course the infamous Ocean City Golf Trip. A quick summary follows -

We had charity events at Pine Barrens in Jackson - an excellent course and one on which our hero played extremely well, Cream Ridge - a 2 man scramble, Ralph and I played very well but couldn't make any putts and finally an event at Trump National - an awesome course that will someday host a US Open.

The Ocean City trip found us at Newport Bay - good start to the trip, Lighthouse Sound - maybe the best course in OC (don't call it that) but unfortunately the weather was dreadful, Rum Pointe - errr ..... whoops - I mean War Admiral at Glen Riddle. We thought we were booked at Rum Pointe, our trip schedule confirmed this but something went awry behind the scenes. Worked out fine though as War Admiral was very good and Ralph and I managed to thump the lefties and avenge our defeat last year. I needed a bogey on 18 for a 79 and of course - doubled, D'oh. Finally we ended the trip at Eagles landings which quite frankly did nothing for me this year. Of course I finished double double for an 83 so maybe that's why I was unimpressed.

Frank and I ended the month in first place in our division in the league - npgl.thecore.com - for those of you interested. Our goal is to simply make the playoffs and we seem to be well on the way.

Finally the month concluded with a golf date with Lisa at Mountain View which was a lot of fun and an event at Jasna Polana for which I have a whole new appreciation for. Plus we won the event so it was a great day.

Wow - June has a tough act to follow.
