Winners with 45 points Jim and Art. Jim Styers reported during post round interviews that his partner Art: "Played the best round I'd seen him play, shooting his age again!" Gary LeClaire commented: "Art even made two Pars coming out of sand traps."
Second place team in a card-off with 44 points was Randy Sain and missing partner Ric O who had to leave to check on his distillery and sour dough bread. Randy told reporters: "I practically carried my team DESPITE my broken hand, cortisone injections and ripping off my cast in disgust after dribbling my hybrid off the first tee." In the background is Gary LeClaire, donor of the plethora of golf balls given out as prizes. Thank you, Gary. Keep trying out new golf balls.
Randy will be recruiting Nelly for his next NSG partner. Nelly doesn't think so.
Third place with 44 points was Rick Brown and sleepy Tom Graves. Rick said: "We got off to a slow start scoring a f*ckin' ZERO on the first hole, but Tom's putter got hot." Tom could be awarded the bested dressed for Memorial Day but that's just his every day outfit he wears to Walmart. Tom might be dreaming of partnering with Nelly also. But, Nelly doesn't think so.
