People must've heard about how much fun last year was because this year we had 89 people.  If I'd've known I would've pre-registered.  Ohwell, got lucky.  Next year I will.  

They changed the course a bit, made it a little bit better, but mainly it was the same as last year.  Larry Leonard won open, Mel Shuman won advanced, both were runaway victories.   After the tournament was over, Harold Duvall offered $1/throw on hole 17, an ace wins the basket (and the ace fund which was about $60, which brings me to wonder, what's the average ace fund per person?  That's a 66% entry fee, is that good? bad? average?).  After a heap of throws, not many of which were very close, Paul Crump (who so long ago showed me and Todd around Hornet's Nest) hit an ace with a soft hyzer.  By some miracle it stuck (that basket was one of only two on the course without inner chains). Very cool.

Team Lynx did pretty well, Todd didn't go but Doug finished tied for 5th in open, thus ending his amateurism (in name, at least).  Robert finished 11/16 in Am-2 in his first tournament ever.  Oh, get this, the first round they had people pretty much arranged by division except for some overflow.  Well, Robert was overflowed into a group with Larry Leonard, Kirk Yoo, and another pro.  I'm still not sure if that's a really good or a really bad way to start your first tournament.  Larry beat him by 30 shots that round.
