the agony of defeat (by way of choking)

The second annual Payne Family Golf Tournament was held last week. This year the only 3 of us were able to participate for the coveted trophy. We played a two day tournament - day 1 at thanksgiving point golf course, and day 2 at south mountain golf course.


After day 1 Dustin held a 3 shot lead over Eddie, and a 4 shot lead over Del. The fortunes changed quickly on day 2 as Dustin struggled early, and Eddie and Del were on target. Eddie went into the last two holes with a 3 shot lead, and promptly managed to give up two of the three on hole 35. Still, a one shot lead going into the final hole is a good thing - but the 9 that Eddie took (2 lost balls) was almost more than any man could bear.


Better luck next year Eddie and Del. Dustin is this year's Payne Family Champion.
