105 of your BMC brethren gathered at Medina Golf and Country Club under near perfect weather conditions to test their golfing acumen and enjoy the camaraderie of the game. Temps were in the mid 70’s, skies were partly sunny or partly cloudy, depending on whether you are a glass half full or half empty kinda guy, and the wind was but a zephyr.
The competitors arrived early to take advantage of the free range balls and to get a feel for what could be expected on the greens. There they found that things might be a bit slick on the course as it was apparent a putt did not need to be hit hard. The rains from the previous night didn’t soften things. What could not have been anticipated from the pre-tourney warm up was the penal nature of the rough. While it was not long, it was thick. Club grabbing thick. Kinda like Scott Schwien’s beard. My teammate’s 1st drive wound up just barely in the rough and I couldn’t see his shoes.
The round had few delays and we all headed to the clubhouse for a stupendous array of libations, appys and a buffet dinner that rocked.
