Karl Wins 2011 Player Of The Year!!!!!!!!
Karl used a 60 degree wedge to hole out an eagle on #1 at The Jackson Country Club today to automatically win this year's Provisional Mulligan Cup. However, the first eagle in the recorded history of The Friday Fivesome was only the beginning of what would become the greatest round ever played by any of the five. LT was absent from the match and Sam was on his way to Panama when Karl shocked Ron and Mike with his new game. "I consulted with by team of Doctors who concluded that the torque on my torn meniscus required that I switch sides and play left handed. When the Doc's informed me that unless I changed my swing I would be forced to retire I was left without any other options but to give it a try. As my fans know, I am naturally a southpaw. In fact, several years ago my partner tried to get me to play left handed. I still remember his encouraging advise that it couldn't be any worse than my right handed swing." After hitting four or five practice balls, Karl felt confident enough to challenge Ron and Mike to a match. Karl played from the tips, played it down, and played without any mulligans. He allowed Mike and Ron to play regulation LT Rules Golf from the senior tees and to scramble. After his eagle on #1 Karl missed 3 birdie putts inside 5 feet but settled for his second eagle on # 5. He finished the front with 4 straight birdies and an 8 under 28. The only fairway that he missed all day was on the short par 4 #7 when his drive rolled off the back of the green. Felling froggy after the front, Karl joined an elite club when he easily flew the ditch on #10. Although he still struggled with his putting, he had 4 more birdies as well as a double eagle(#17) on the back. Meanwhile Ron and Mike were able to scramble a respectable 93.
