Verizon Heritage

ok - I'm on vacation this week, so I have a little free time. Given the Monday finish, I thought it would be helpful to crank out the results and expedite the add/drop period. We'll extend the add/drop until midnight EDT today (Tuesday) since we don't have a game this week. Here's the current xls (Jeff willing).

This is a bye week, so line-ups aren't due until next Wednesday at noon.

Game of the Week:
Jim stole one from George (-21 to -20)
I don't like highlighting the same team two weeks in a row (Geo), but this one went back and forth all weekend and deserves GOTW status. Even without Woods in the line-up, Geo's squad was hovering at the top of the leaderboard all weekend. Zach Johnson was running on fumes after The Masters, but still managed a strong tournament. Petersson, Pampling and Ames all flirted with the lead at some point, but in the end it all came down to a glorious Ernie iron on 18 to insure a tap in birdie and a W for the good guys! In the "turnabout's fair play" category, Geo's losing score total would have been enough to beat every other team this week (just like his opponent Babe last week).

Other games:
Rick beat Aaron (-17 to +19)
Justin Rose took the week off at the last minute and Rick slid in #1 reserve Boo Weekley to soundly beat Aaron and go from "kick in the nuts" clause to the winner's circle.
Jeff crushed Andy (+5 to +7)
Jeff is one of two owners still undefeated, but his hold on that spot is tenuous at best. His total score of +95 puts him in second to last in that category... with a loss or two he'll plummet in the standings.
David demolished Hugh (-5 to +3)
Davis Love III disappoints and Hugh goes down.
Babe belittled Jeremy (+26 to +34)
Nearly Jeremy's entire team took the weekend off, with only one playing all four rounds. Babe mopped up even though only two of his player made the cut and posted a combined -1. But in the end, it's always good to win ugly.

Add/Drop order for this week (and next if you want to):
1. Jeremy Ciaccia
2. Andy Katz
3. David Storer
4. Charles "Babe" Adams
5. Aaron Cutler
6. Hugh Richardson
7. Jim Storer
8. George Haines
9. Jeff Cutler
10. Rick Nortz

Please send your add/drop lists to me by end of day today (Tuesday)

=============================

Get ready. The Verizon Heritage is one of the most anticipated tourneys of the year as it sets the stage for first-week flukes to cement their dominance in the league. It's also one of my favorite tourneys as I've played the course. Let me tell you about how I was only about three over through 14 because the course was in such GREAT shape. It was the first pro course I had played in my life - this was 1990 - and my father and I just tore the place up.

Sadly, we were playing twilight so my score was only for 16 holes and I didn't finish the 18th because of a slight yardage miscalculation. You see, when you play such a nice course your usual 145-yard eight iron can miraculously fly about 191 yards into the Atlantic Ocean.

C'est la Vie.
