A few days ago the greatest summary of TFF's action was published. While waiting for a possible Pulitzer Prise award, the author suddenly noticed that only a small part of the article was on the blog. During the process of attempting to publish the entire story that was full of wisdom, wit, humor, and breath taking descriptions of the thrill of victory("Back Nine Ron" at The Farms), as well as the agony of defeat (Karl at The Farms and LT at Shiloh Falls), everything was accidentally deleted. Also, the author had thrown away the scorecards. After searching through the trash can, the scorecards were fortunately(or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint) recovered. However, the article will remain lost in cyberspace for all eternity. All attempts to rewrite the summary have been denied by a combination of writer's block and tears. "I poured my heart and soul into that post. To rewrite that article would be like asking Tolstoy to rewrite "War and Peace" or Homer to rewrite "The Iliad and the Odyssey", it can't be done." So a few comments, then the scores. First, there are two scorecards that are missing, M,R ,and S's trip to Jackson National where Mike claims to have sunk a 163 foot birdie putt for a victory over Ron and LT, R, and S's trip to Woodland Hills. If these cards are not turned in to TFF Blog, they will remain stricken from official record. Also, TFF Blog is announcing that there will be a change in the voting process for next year's Provisional Mulligan Cup. The 2008 award was presented to LT, but other members of TFF complained the TFF Blog was a dictatorship and demanded a vote. So for the 2009 award TFF Blog changed it's policy and Sam was elected MVP by a truly democratic process. By the way, in the deleted post, there was some discussion concerning Sam's elitist attitude since winning the award and his refusal to tee off with the others on the blue tees and insisting that he (and he alone) play from "The Championship Tees". Perhaps we will discuss this in greater detail later but back to The Provisional Cup. It became aware to TFF Blog that in this year's voting that some members that will remain anonymous(LT and Ron), voted with an agenda and not according to the year long process of golf. As a result, TFF Blog is announcing that next year there will still be the popular vote by all members, however, after reviewing the votes TFF Blog will then select who it decides the winner is. It's kind of like The Electoral College in our presidential elections, nobody really understands how it works but there's still a winner.
