2008 Morningwacker

Ahhh. Was a fine day for play as the 2nd annual 2008 Morningwacker event took place. For those not in the know, the Morningwacker event is the premier competition between the the members and the staff at The Meadows golf course at GVSU in Allendale Michigan.

To sum up the event, Staff wins over Members (14-10). At least it was closer than last year!

But we all had a great time. The 18 hole event was 6 holes alternate shot, 6 holes of best ball and 6 holes team score. The members certainly welcome ringers for next years competition (please!!)

For those people that have not played The Meadows, in my opinion, one of the best courses in West Michigan. It can bite you in the can if you are not careful, and will reward you when you do well.

Pictures come next. See y'all after the thaw!

Ahh, "I see your problem now, Byde"

Spiro and a stupendous drive off of #1

On the bridge at Hole #17. Great players here!

Not all players looked this good in their backswing (it was a great shot, too, Pat!)

This is the closest the members came to winning (yes, BEFORE the event started)
