The Championship Round

That day has arrived and the field is set. The Homer tips are in and the calcutta has been run. Most heavily backed starter is Ngy, though he's backed himself despite hosting the poker room for 2 nights so it can't be taken too seriously. Billy, Kingy, Spud and Rod have attracted some attention with the rest of the field spread out.

Resplendent in his house cap, tomato shorts and the lime green jacket, Billy got proceedings underway and announced to the gallery he was on a mission to retain the title and win without the benefit of an illegal driver. Game on.

After 9 holes Billy held a slim lead with 19 stableford points, closely followed by Adam on 18 justifying the accuracy of his 40 handicap. They were just in front of Kingy, Eagle, Leo and Meek with the rest of the field scattered to the tail. This was looking like a close finish once again.

The back nine was tight with Leo, Doc, Adam, Meek, Eagle and Ichiro scoring 15 points or better, and Matt breaking out with 20 points, but the steady play of Billy was enough to record 17 points and take the title with 36 points overall.
