Noteworthy events from 2023 Summer Week 05

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Esteban Q and Big Slick‘s Tom B each shot a perfect 80.
  2. Kevin C and Norberto E each had 77 points.
  3. Jerry R tallied 74.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. The nearby aura of Ed S accidentally used the league operator’s finger to select Tim B.  Breaking on Table 10,  Tim sank the only two balls evenly divisible by 4. Then the half-four ball got in the way of the half-two ball.
    Tim still made a good hit on it and it collided with the only remaining unnamed even ball on the table, but it missed going into the SW corner.
  2. Nancy K: Table 11; Made the 5-ball on the break. Cue-ball and 1-ball were almost evenly aligned on the kitchen wall.  Nancy took the carving knife from the drawer and calmly sliced the 1 into the NE corner.She now had long but unimpeded shape on the 2-ball.
    After various teasing from the crowd and a humorous vocalized “shut up” from the shooter, Nancy toasted that 2-ball into the SW corner and turned off the oven. She cashed out for one third of the available pot.
  3. The remaining pot rolls over to Week 06.
