2012 Maddick-Britton Results

It was a dark and stormy day, and for a while we contemplated a putting contest for the trophy but around 3 PM the rain abated (didn’t really stop) so we went out for 9. The course was soggy and the bunkers were filled with water but after a bit the greens were puttable, though slow, and all 29 golfers finished their rounds. And Bob Mason shot a 39 despite the weather, handily beating me 3 & 2 but Wiz lost too: not a day for your captains.

No twofer for the political+ side as the trade team won the cup: 9 wins to 5. The beef dinner was great and the level of discourse rose as the trade side enjoyed their well-deserved, and polec-provided wine. The rain delay did provide for extra time to tell lies and for old friends to work the room- suitable beverage in hand- so there was an up side to the poor weather.

Best question of the day was posed by Sandy Stefanik: should she rent a cart or a raft.

The Wiz and I look forward to being former captains and having Michel Lacourcière and Brian Parai still at the “Fort” should help those who replace us.

Mike Dungate had provided some prizes and we will vie for them next year; perhaps at Greensmere where Bob Mason and others are members.

All the best and keep hitting them far and sure. David (Stockwell) and Don (Wismer).
