A big night was on tap at NPP for the Heads Up Tourney with six matches scheduled at our usual night and time. Somehow Faldo found a way to screw it up (twss).
I had the tournaments there, but somehow did not send the tournament acknowledgement or the PASSWORD to 8 of the 12 players! It was either a email issue or a total malfunction of the “system” between Faldo’s chair and the computer keyboard. I vote for the latter and how it happened is still a mystery.

Damn, look's like old age has set in on Faldo...
When I was in desktop support (in the *early* days of computers ....), we coined a phrase - "PEBCAK". (Problem exists between chair and keyboard). Nuff said.
Talk about 'PEBCAK', heheh. Hit the publish button too soon. Meant to add that I've done that so-o-o many times - as this last episode exhibits. Mike, thanks for all you do to keep the league running. It's been a lot of fun.
