The Slammer Tour: Event Summary

Notables

Slammer Tour at Upper Canada – Boomer (here for the 11th time), BullDog (6th) and Bubba (2nd), are the only three of today’s field that have Slammed here before. This is Grumpy’s first time Slamming here (his 77th different course that he has Slammed at). For Bubba, he lost a TC match here on July 25, 2010. That was a D division match to Captain Crunch
A few tidbits about Upper Canada – The record low score here is 75. It was achieved by Chilly on Sept. 3, 2006 and matched by The Kid, three years and 9 days later. The previous 110 matches here averaged 92.66 score.
As for holes on this course, #3 is the 46th easiest hole on the Tour (21st easiest par 3). For us today we had 90% pars and bogies and a Sutty double. Number 14 is the 14th hardest (5th hardest par five) on the Tour. Today we did not disappoint. We had four 7s and six 8s (can you say Marshes 2, or Lombard Glen 15?) which ended up dropping this hole to 4th hardest dipping below Smuggler’s 18.
Check today’s results and see how we did with the easiest (#1) and hardest (#4) par 4s here.
MILESTONES – AngryBird & BullDog each just missed one today. Grumpy’s dog on hole 15 was his first since April 24th. Eleven weeks with all that pressure! Today he gets his 100th career doggie (23rd Slammer to reach that plateau). The other MILESTONE is mentioned over there on the right under second star.
Three holes (2,5,&10)today were cut off from being a skin. Those three holes all had the skin cut off in the same group (each hole by one different group).
Marshall says to Mulder after watching him hit his driver "What's on your club (head of it)?" "It is a Club Crown, you can put pictures on the head of your club." "You should put your girlfriend's picture on it." "Her picture is on the golf ball!"
Speaking about pictures - have you seen the facebook picture of our doggie / skin Master?
THANX AGAIN Mulder for handling dogs and skins. I hope your Broker 4 Tickets reps thanx you accordingly.
What happens when you cross a Grumpy and an Angry? Look there to the right - hole 15. The ONLY two birdies of the day in this seedy group were on the same hole.

Quotables

“Zippy is playing her sixth career event here today. Welcome, I bet today will be your first dog, bird, or skin on tour.” (she had the only skin on the first ten holes)
“Are you with the Slammer Tour?” “Why would you say that?” “Well I see your hat, your shirt and your belt." "How about my shoes? By the way what is the Slammer Tour?" he says "I know Jamie Ryan & Darcy Jenkins.” “Who are they?” I gave in – we all said hello and he says high to you two JR & DJ.
“Playing in his 212th career event – one of the original OCs and the founder of the ten hole club, here is BullDog.”
“That distance seems short. Well I will trust it!” “Probably because there is so much wide open space.” “Oh it must be right.” “Can’t be – you are pin high!”
“The geese are dead, but the USA Republicans are now all here.”
“I found the course a little hard – the greens were not holding.”
"What's on your club (head of it)?" "It is a Club Crown, you can put pictures on the head of your club." "You should put your girlfriend's picture on it." "Her picture is on the golf ball!"
the last quotable has to do with pushing to the left and/or pulling to the right, I can’t make it out to write it.

Summary
I have golfed here only about half a dozen times before and today, this course was the best conditioned that I have ever seen it. Along the back where we play 12-15 beside water, even the bugs seemed to give us a bit of a reprieve (well not to Mulder). Today is the 21st Slammer Tour event here, but the Tour hasn’t been here since September 13, 2015. Steel Crazy didn’t have his best score here that day! I hope that we are back soon. Come experience it and tell me what course that you would compare it to.

Stars
	Zippy
	WOW! and there was a prediction. Did they wait in the parking lot and watch all of their competitors heating up? Mr & Mrs Zippy were the last two to arrive and both drive away as stars. See the first quotable! She shoots her Slammer career low. She upsets two C (C14 & C30) division players. Some events we have most stylin slammer – today Zippy was best looking Slammer (slammette). Boomer had never met this Zippy but had played in six of the old ZZZZippy’s ten events.
	Bubba
	Became Number One with an impressive three upset wins last Monday at Champlain (including beating Markepan 4and3), and played today to defend so that he could successfully make his Commish Cup team. We couldn’t understand his rationale - as #1D he seemed safe. He started off badly … down 4 to Mulder and 3 to Grumpy after the first four holes. Then this quote from his lips “Ok guys, the party is over” and down they went. Neither match done yet on hole sixteen, but one at a time they fell. Second star had the second skin. Second star had the second dog. Second star had the 200th career (68th on the list) win when he shook Grumpy’s hand after hole 17.
	Green Arrow
	AND NOT just for bringing Zippy, but he was the only one that went 3-0 ... THATS RIGHT POMMIE! He came here as C3. That is always dangerous, because when C3 loses it can become pretty explosive as it turns into C4. No fear he goes home as C3 after defending successfully thrice. He arrived 3-1 versus these three and goes home 6-1. Sutty gave him the closest battle, only shaking hands after 17 (albeit he went down 3and1). Green Arrow started the day off with a dog on hole three.
