In our first corner is Team Marcellus. Headed up by Laura and her very golf-like polo, this team is rounded out by John, whose has a handicap of "has never played golf", and Joshy who wields a mean yellow putter. The first proponents of the "why walk when you can ride" golf philosophy, Team Marcellus is bringing little Joshua up in the great golf tradition of never setting the bar too high. Over celebrate the fact that you did not whiff as the ball rolls 30 feet forward and people will think it was all a part of the plan. Take 15 more shots to get to the green and people realize you are the reason playing 9 holes takes 5 hours. It is all fun and games until you are bad enough for them to institute miniature golf rules. Take ten shots and if not in the hole, just pick up the ball, take the 10 and move on. We're not in Augusta anymore, Toto.
In the next corner is Team Pettit. This team benefits from Donald, the seasoned professional in the field. When not driving for the green, he likes to spend spare time instructing the team's newest member, Krystina. She is new to the sport this year and has been taken under his wing...or outstretched hand...in the hopes to follow in the footsteps of taking 75 practice swings for every one shot. Donald's patented method of laying the golf club against your hips to determine ball trajectory has been accepted sport wide. I said across your hips. No, your hips. What good does it do if you just keep moving your feet back? I said YOUR HIPS. John, just give me the club...
Another little known fact is that Donald has borrowed the littlest member of Team Marcellus to work on his newest idea for the sport...synchronized golfing.
Last, but not least, we have Team Owens. A new pairing on the field, they seem to be still working the kinks out of their strategy. Currently the tactic seems to be a bait and switch. Ross comes to the course with distance and keeps the eye of the crowd with consistent drives to the freeway or other hole's fairways. Well, and water...ditches...did I mention a flock of Canada Geese? Then, out of nowhere comes Jess. This little known powerhouse comes to the tee and shoots one straight down the fairway, where Ross left the cart while he hiked into the woods to find his ball. The round was theirs to lose until Jess started to succumb to the mental game. We then got to see the other face of Jess. One that usually accompanies the phrase, "Ross...you just said to aim that way..."
As a last ditch effort, Team Owens took to taking as many pictures of the opposing teams as possible in the hopes to throw them off their game. They did manage to get under the skin of Team Marcellus who is pictured here giving their best "f off" look.
Unfortunately, Joshua was easier to sway...
