Pretty tough to wrap up a great event like the Nanners.
First off – WE DID IT!!!!!! And when I say “WE”, I mean Ram…..BUT WE DID IT!!!!!!!
After being shut-out on the horse-race (great effort though Eel), and being shut-out on OUR chip over the pond event. (Some chick had made the shot before we even got there), it was looking like this wasnt our Nanners. Our top 2 ponies (Eag and Ram) were sitting tied for 8th, a whopping 11 strokes back of the lead. When I was walking down 12, I saw Ram driving down 6 with a bit of pep and his step. I guess it was pep in his cart. NEVERTHELESS. I saw his scoreboard and it said “4”, which meant he was 2 under through 5.
The next update I saw was the leader Brayden Erickson scoreboard on 11 tee that had a red 2. (3 over on the day). Could this be done. Ram made a couple birds coming in including a BIG one on 17 with Mole yelling ‘YAAAA BABBBY” at a pretty nice volume. After a near miss on 18, Ram enterred the clubhouse at +1. A SIZZLING 67. As we saw the final group approach – we couldnt help but notice that Brayden had bogeyed 17. After lipping out his 6 foot par putt – WE HAD DONE IT. WE DID IT!! Well Ram did it. BUT WE DID IT!!!!
Before I get to some best of”s. We need to do a bit of admin.
KEG – If you havent paid Eag, please do, The keg ended up being $30 bones eack.
LIMO – I was a little too tape measured at the time, but I wasnt sure if we decided that everyone was chipping in for the limo. (except Ram) or just the limo goers. Either way we do it – Harry needs to get some money for it. At this point he only has $120 received from it and it was $275. If we go everyone, its $20 an animal. If we go just limo-goers its $30. I see both points – The limo was FACKIN fun as FACK so the Limo goers should be paying for it – but at the same time – they didnt really get the option of a free ride. But bottom line – is we need to get Harry is MOOLA. Next year – we’ll all be LIMOUSINE RIDAS.
We did get Grandma Hough/Uncle Robbie a gift. That ran just under $90 – and I got $10 from 9 animals there. So that’s all good. a couple of Lion picks. A nice sparkling wine and a nice red as well as a bunch of Kokanees for Uncle robby.
Yuley said that he was gonna get something for Moretti. We agreed that he would use the $50 for the side games to get him something from our behalf.
Thanks to all the animals for being well behaved – Grandma Hough once again said that she barely heard us. Again, Im not sure if shes being nice or getting increasingly deaf. Im pretty sure its safe to say Uncle Robby (or SPIRIT BEAR) had an unreal time partying with us. \
Thanks to Eel for covering our Friday night Bar-tap. A very nice gesture.
Thanks to all the drivers. Im sure the drive home after the BANQUET was not very fun, but very appreciated to get all the animals back safely.
A little tradition we have with Seaball is that we always get some best of’s emails going after the trip to relive it. SO here go.
BEST NEW BIT: Get the tape measure. (english guy after all 3 chippers chipped it uber tight on 5)
