Noteworthy events from 2023_4 Winter Week 03

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Larry P, Kevin C, and Frank C each ended with a perfect 80.  In Larry’s case, it was his 2nd in two weeks played and he therefore remains undefeated this season.
  2. Phil P shot a 77.
  3. Julian F, Lito G, and Chris V each scored 76.  That’s Chris’ best score in his brief 3-week tenure in our league thus far.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Nancy K, Table 04: Made the 2-ball on the break. Had a straight on 1-ball long distance. Sank it in the NE corner with enough follow to get good shape on the  3-ball hanging close to the NW corner. Sank it and cashed out for one third of the available pot.
  2. Wes P, Table 10: Made the 4-ball on the break.  Was left with an extremely thin slice on the 1-ball into the south side pocket.  Made it.  The cue-ball caromed around the table and stopped with unappealing shapes on the 2-ball. Wes cashed out for 2/9ths of the available pot.
  3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 04.  It has diminished quite a bit in our last two weeks of action with a total of 10 balls cashed in during those outings.

OTHER:

  1. Creepy Bullys one-player absence resulted in an 8-point bonus to their Wolff Pack opponents.
  2. It was the league debut for Jon B of Big Slick.  He scored a 57 against Free Agents.
  3. Season debuts for returning players included Mark H, Terry N, AC C, and Eric C.
  4. Enrollment for the Top Shooter side-pot competition is now closed.  Mona T sealed his guaranteed victory because nobody else went into it against him.

    • Steve G and Jon B were added to Big Slick.
    • Jim O was added to Scorpions.
