Another beauty, Mark (just like the four foxes in your gallery). Russell showing what a stud he still is by wearing shorts on a day everyone else in the gang of eight is dressed like Eskimos! Poetic that Dave honored his BFF by taking the long drive title. Golf; it’s a four-letter word. My favorite word.

A lot of gimmicks. Plus, we took advantage of our full complement of mulligans. Gotta know how to play the game.

Yeah, I get it with the mulligans, the throws, a length of string, etc. in these scrambles, but 22 under still damn good. I was a decent player in high school in Vermont but a bit of envy because I know I couldn't touch you guys. The only thing I had comparable to you and your buds was that my school was also RHS -- Richford High School. I was a comparably tall guy and at least average strength and coordination, but never could get the hang of hitting it consistently 270 back in the day when that was considered a big hit. At best I was in the 240-250 range, and even then not that consistent. Mike "Reid" Towle.

P.S. I've had my share of drives 300+ long, long ago -- not counting downhill holes -- but those were out of body experiences sometime accompanied by a UFO in the area.
