Week 17 Recap – The Birdies, the Beasts, and the Barely-Hanging-On

Another week, another round of golf where scorecards looked more like tax returns—complicated, with a couple deductions nobody expected.

Individual Glory:
Chuck “Steady Eddy” Mathieson snuck off with 1st place (+9), proving once again that if you play boring golf, you win exciting prizes. Right behind him, Ted “the Birdie Assassin” Meyer swooped in for 2nd (+8), stealing the card-off on hole 7 with a birdie that left poor Kurt Sager muttering, “Birdies are for show, but bogeys are forever.”

Team Triumphs:
Ted wasn’t satisfied with just second place—he grabbed 1st Team honors too, pairing with Dan “Two-Stroke Special” Svirsky (+2). Meanwhile, Saul Payne (+5) and Jim Liddick (+3) cobbled together enough steady play to claim 2nd Team, probably fueled by shared snacks more than shared strategy.

Closest to the Pin:
Pete “Long Putts Only” Frasca dialed one in at 11’4”, just short enough to make everyone else say, “Well, at least I hit the green… somewhere.”

Skins Mayhem:
The Front 9 Skins turned into a buffet line, with Kurt Sager (hole 5), Mike Leonard (hole 6), and Ted Meyer (hole 7) loading up plates. In fact, every hole from 2 through 9 was covered like your grandma’s sofa—no freebies here.
On the Back 9, Ed “Quiet Collector” Susi pocketed holes 14 and 18, walking away with more cash than charisma.

Highlights from the Covered Holes:

• Hole 2: Willard & Casey reminded everyone it’s possible to hit fairways without breaking a sweat.
  
  

• Hole 3: Mathieson, Raynard, and Susi turned it into a traffic jam on the green.
  
  

• Hole 4: Liddick, Silvia, and Silva (yes, two different guys—don’t ask) combined to confuse the scorekeeper.
  
  

• Hole 9: Dow, Giffen, Mathieson, and Sager turned the green into a reunion party.
  
  

• Hole 13: Finn, Mathieson, and Susi made it a three-man staring contest with the flagstick.
  
  

• Hole 18: White, McNeice, and Susi finished strong, mostly to get to the bar.
  
  

Summary:
Week 17 had it all—birdies, card-offs, and more covered holes than a bad paving job. Chuck got the win, Ted played in everything except the concession stand, and Pete proved 11 feet really is “close” in this league.
