Scramble to get back into it

The scramble pairings were Tad/Tony vs West/Mickey, Emry/Jay vs Tom/Scott, Seong/Jeff vs Rob/Wyman. Tad and I jumped out to a lead but started getting tired and were down by 4 strokes after 10. We couldn't hit any long putts. At the #12 par 3, Wes and Mickey both hit it into the water and were were able to gain 2 strokes back. But that was as close as it got and lost by 2 strokes. We had a fun, relaxed round with some beers. When it was Wes' turn to buy a round, the cart girl got a bit snooty with him around his poor math skills as he incorrectly calculated his own total.

Emry/Jay were up by one on the last hole when both Tom and Scott barely missed incredibly long putts that would have tied it. Seong and Jeff took care of Rob/Wyman and the Fagitas were gettin' free dinner! We really wanted dinner-revenge on Wyman.

We tried to go to a local place, The Catfish House, but they didn't serve alcohol. Longhorns was too crowded, so we went to Jim and Nicks Rib House. SK did his part for bill-inflation by ordering a big rack of ribs. We all loaded up on desserts too. Jay didn't eat much. His stomach was acting up all weekend and his roommates in the loft-cubbies were suffering because of it.

Despite our unexpected win in the scramble, the Fagitas were still down 5.5 to 3.5 and we needed to win 4 of the 6 Sunday matches.
