Cedar Ridge Medal Play Club Championship Re-Cap

The Willie Slam?

At some point it stops being luck. How in the world did William win another Cedar Ridge Major? I mean… aside from the fact that neither of the day one leaders broke 80. But still, what a finish. Battling Mike Alsup, Danny Funk, and Blake Heldmar down the last nine holes, Willie managed to overcome several bad bunker lies and pull into a tie for the lead on 17 when Alsup made a double bogey. When Danny wasn’t able to birdie 18, it left Mike and Willie with birdie putts to win it. Both putts missed, so the match would go to extra holes.

At this point, half of the Cedar Ridge membership was watching this epic battle between the two grumpy, club-throwers. This is the match that the entire golf world had been waiting on. Palmer vs. Nicklaus… Hogan vs. Nelson… Tiger vs. Phil… Alsup vs. William! In fact, a wasted Kristi Buergler had prophesied this exact match-up two years earlier when she told a stunned Lien Alsup that her husband would get the shit whipped out of him by William. Fighting their swings and their nerves, both of them hit fairway bunkers off the tee, but hit good recovery shots to the 100 yard marker. Alsup hit his approach to 25 feet and William followed him with a shot to about 15 feet on the same line. The tension was palpable. Mike narrowly missed his birdie putt and tapped in for par. This set the stage for William. He was 15 feet from the Willie Slam and Kristi Buergler was 15 feet from a gigantic “Suck on that, Alsup’s”

Did he make it? Of course, he made it. Right in the heart. They don’t just give these Willie Slams away. You have to earn them and this year rounds of 74, 77 was just enough to get it done.

Gardeniaville Re-Launch

It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since the last post. I am re-launching the site in time for the Bandon Dunes Trip. Hopefully we can get the Texas boys to use this site for their idiotic bantering rather than clogging up Buerglers email.

I have added Keith's profile in an attempt to drive traffic to the site. i hope it doesn't disappoint, but it is a Herculean task to capture Keith Stitt in 400 words.

I am starting the money leaderboard over. I don't know if it is even possible to keep up with it anymore. You guys will have to let me know if you would like to try and keep it or not. I barely remember how to use this site anymore, but if any of you would like to post, I think I have to invite you to be a blogger. So let me know if you would like me to do that.
