7Jokers may have lost his airplane flying licence of a 747, but he and his lovely wife (she must have a vision problem if she married 7Jokers) and family put on one heck of a nice golf outing. 7Joker's daughter, Kaitlyn did a great job of drawing the names for all the prizes (since Faldo walked away with two!).
This is a 'must-do' next year, NPP guys! The plan is to hold the next one in May, 09. Perfect for getting the rust off for the upcoming golf season.
The talk of the tournament was of course the "NPP Team" of Beerhog, DavetheDog, Faldo and Tigercub. Our carts had "NPP" on a sign proudly displayed on the cart.
Sure there were other teams, but when the NPP Players hit the links, even Tiger would have a hard time drawing a crowd away from this group of heavy hitters (of the beer).
Even though Beerhog was left all day, Tigercub was right all day, DavetheDog chunked and chili-dipped all day and Faldo never made a putt - we still turned in a score of 23-under for the scramble.
I don't know what the handicap format is exactly, but after those calculations were completed, our score was adjusted to 1-over!
Somehow, 1-over was not good enough to win. We finished 2nd to last in the scramble - and somehow there was no prize money available for us. Our 'apperance fees' got lost in the mail too.
That's a shame!
But still a great time. Thanks to 7Jokers and his family.

Hopefully the course will have fixed the problems with the carts for next year. Thanks to all of you for showing up and making the outing a fun time. I can see why my hubby enjoys playing poker with all of you. I will do my best to see what happened to your appearance fees. (I am sure the check is in the mail) It was great meeting all of you!!

This is a must-do outing for all you NPP golfers next year.
I have an NPP poker tournament prize:
1st place: You get to ride with me in next year's outing.
