The 2nd Mu Open was a success with 27 players spending four hours swatting at little white balls and having a good time.  We had winners and losers, like any tourney, with side contests for the lucky and gifted.  Here are some of the high and low lites.

The 4 Player Scramble format worked well with way fewer rules needed and no competitive juices flowing on the course itself as was reported at last year's 2 Player Scramble.  On the putting greens it was all for one and one for all, and no doubters allowed.

Jack Reuler hit a twenty foot putt on the 8th hole and promptly walked off smiling into the sunset after the 9th hole. 

Bryan Eng was very successful in bringing in his team of ringers who promptly shot a round of eight under par, winning the 2nd Mu Open. We have a photo of them collecting their hardware and hope they have the pride and stamina to defend their title next year.

Tom Park and his gang shot seven under to take second place.  Their group featured P. J. Vitoff of the Mu Board.  Tom bemoaned the fact that they lost by only one shot and messed up so many approach shots.  Better luck next year.

The Clan of Don Eitel, with his brother, father and grandfather, went out like a lion (shooting three under on the first two holes) but came home with a whimper, shooting eighty one overall and garnering the final place in the standings.  We're hoping one of Don's sons takes up golf soon so we can have a four generation foursome.

Damon hit the longest drive and it went more than 300 yards. 

Thai Lu sank the longest putt and won the new hand made putter by Sweet Al.

Tom Park won the Closest to the Pin contest by chipping within four feet of the hole on the 12th hole.  (we're checking to see whether his shot might have been wind abetted)

On a personal note, I'd like to thank Jere Mackin and Arlene Datu for joining Jack Reuler and myself for the opening foursome.  Our shooting par was a testament to that old maxim, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts!  Individually, none of us in this lifetime, will ever get a whiff of par, but together we did it.

Thanks to the following for getting their foursomes together:  San Asato, Don Eitel, Noah Nguyen, Bryan Eng, Daniel Le, Stephanie Lein Walseth, and Tom Park.

Special thanks to the Tournament Committee of Stephanie Lein and Sam Walseth, Daniel Le, Allen Malicsi (our own Sweet Al who also donated the trohpies) and Tommy Woon.

And special thanks to Martha Johnson for preparing the food for the post tourney barbecue.
