Day
2 – Shanghai West Alternate Shot
Bleary-eyed
and short of rest after a late night of dancing in the streets of Suzhou, the participants
assembled for the ride to Zhouzhuang.
The previous nights five straight wins at the foosball table by Snively and
Newcomb was a bad omen for Snively as the early announcement came that the first
ever Hairy Crab withdrawl was imminent due to a freak bathroom accident.
Apparently Phil Murtaugh suffered a back injury while “brushing his
teeth” and had to withdraw, leaving Snively to play with rookie Logan King and for all
practical purposes, becoming a boat taking on water. The alternate shot format once again provided the sternest test for participants (those 3-footers on grainy greens aren't easy following a night of revelry in Suzhou). The best score again this year was a 1-under par 71 achieved by 3 teams, including defending champions Formon/Tatelbaum (thus legitimizing their effort for a repeat), Docalovich/O’Connell (coming back from the dead), and Seamus/Newcomb (utilizing Newcomb's controversial plumb bob technique). First day leaders Rippon / Mulligan kept their hold on first place by shooting a fine 73, and Jared/Dodds moved into serious contention with a even par 72. Probert/Duffy solidified their hold on DFL, and low handicappers Wallin/Colozzi surprisingly lost control of their claws and pinchers carding an 80. The day finished with a fine dissertation on the virtues of Eskimo Nell from Colin Airdrie.
