Covid took away a lot of things this year - but it sure the hell wasn't gonna take our Nanners.

24 of the finest animals battled for the LEVEL and to avoid INMATE. Both battles came down to the wire.

LEVEL Battle - Eag went GUP GUP first 2 rounds to take a 4 shot lead on Prince. Condo/Fly/Ram lurking a little more than that. But it seemed to be pretty clear that ala Nanners 7 this was gonna be a 2 horse race. Prince started off the Final round solidly with a fed on 1 and a bogey free 35. Eag was a bit shaky on the front which included a doub on 6 - and we had ourselves a tie ball game with 9 to go. We were still tied with 4 to go and that's when Eag kicked things into a new gear - 3 feds in the last 4 holes to clinch his 5th LEVEL and record extending 8th MAJ. Great battle INDEED. In the end all 4 in the final group shot LEVEL.

INMATE Battle - After round 1 Sapalina took a comfortable 6 shot lead after his 91. But he was able to scrub the sap off his car and play some decent golf in round 2 which included a hole out FLAP on the 15th hole and get himself out of the INMATE conversation. Heading into the final round - it was Beest with a 2 shot lead on Hawk - 4 on Wolf, 5 on Moose/Jav. After nice fronts by Moose/Wolf - it looked to be a 2 horse race. Hawk still managed to stay ahead - but all changed on 12. After a bit of a flyer - hawk sailed the 12th green and hit downslope and rode the Benson Meridien all the way to the 13th tee box. Some failed chips later and Hawk had himself a trip daddy and now a 2 shot lead. After a huge Fed on 16 after hitting the pin on his chip - the GAPE was 4 and all but over. But Tom Kite did not emerge from the pond by 10 green to greet us. 2 shot swing on 17 - big drive by Hawk on 18 and Beest drive lost a little right. Chip out and nice approach by Beest - sclafy 8 iron by Hawk and it was all she wrote.

Another fantastic battle to the end.
