Jason Smelser once again, in back-to-back events, outpaced the field to a victory in the 2020 Douchebag Invitational. This time from the back tees, despite unintended challenges like trees blocking half the fairway on the 4th hole. (Glad I didn't have to try that shot!). So now what for the next event? Does Jason play left handed? without a putter? Blindfolded? No shoes? We should at least make him wear the Douchebag trophy.
Sunny managed to make par on 2 even with a penalty stroke. He had a great front nine on his way to the meltdown award this week. He even pulled off Matt Mayo's left-handed 3-wood chip back to the fairway, advancing the ball and setting up a reasonable approach shot.

* typical situations
.
* and other weird shit - a wind hazard?
On the 8th Matt Arrasmith hit from trouble to trouble, narrowly missing the rest of his foursome. You would think your cart would offer a little protection.
On 11, our guest Dana Rose managed to shatter a tee marker. Destroying course signs and stuff seems to be a new trademark for this chapter. Hope you can join us Dana as we leave a trail of destruction across central Ohio.
...and while one group was finishing up on the 5th green, someone in the group of non-MGA golfers behind them managed to drive the green and leave his ball 1-foot away for eagle. We had to back Fred Miller off of his putt to watch the near ace on the par 4.
We can dream
