everything went just as i, the BCC groundskeeper, had planned. in my 1st round best ball groupings, jeff and i took out the talented team of derek and robert’, 2 in 1, with fine shots and excellent putting by jeff. in the 2nd round alternate shot i teamed up with past BCC champ mike r. to defeat tony and robert’ 2 in 1. after the two rounds were completed, it was all even, 4 points each, exactly as planned.
the june 12th 2008 2nd Inter-club Championship was a great day hosted by the Steeple View Country Club, the weather, the beautiful nine hoop SVCC course, the new matching uniforms of the SVCC team and the wonderful job by the SVCC club house. just great. thanks to capt. bill auld, karen and birthday barbara. chili... mmmmmm.
my plan was to get into a tie and sudden death with captain’s picks. as contender, i had the advantage in determining who was playing who. in the singles matches i threw pete “the eagle” johnson into battle against derek “the eagle” schultz and jeff against the explosive tony d., always hoping for an upset. i gave mike r. the task of dispatching his fellow Bomber hockey line mate, robert’, which he did with an impressive four birdies in six hoops. exactly as planned. that left the two captains. i thought that was the way it should be. beat the captain and tie the competition, exactly as planned. i was 1 up at #1 (113yds) with a par but i missed a birdie chip by inches at #2 (95yds) and billy didn’t. then he made another at #3 (67yds) and a third at #6 (84yds)!!! not exactly as planned. “i was hitting everything long and scared of it”, i says to myself. after missing a heroic par save chip, again by inches, at #7 (104yds) the match was dormie. ever the gentleman, SVCC captain billy auld conceded the two final hoops, halving our match, winning the Inter-club championship with a 9 to 7 point victory and retaining the coveted gold “Quantus Certaminis”. a wonderful day, exactly as planned.

To the Captain and all SVCC members-As evidenced by the exciting write up of the days events-This was a fantastic tourny-ment:o),Once again,the SVCC clubhouse and team outdid themselves,in terms of play and hospitality-(I have had fabulous dreams inspired by the wonderful chili that was made that day)-Any sting that would have been felt by not accomplishing victory,was tempered by the comraderie and good will of all the players-I for one cannot wait for the re-match and the opportunity to challenge the Svccc team for the cup again-Hopefully this battle will rage for the next 30-40years-Pete "The Eagle" Johnson
