The Little Engine That Couldn't

It was a beautiful afternoon for golf last Thursday, when the plucky squad from LCCC ventured east to Dallas Athletic Club for the second match of the 2011 TGA League Play season.

In an effort to build team unity and camaraderie, Coach Wenning reserved a private train to carry the team to and from the match at DAC, but the custom conveyance did little to compensate for the lack of firepower in the LCCC line-up, with the visitors going down by a score of 25 1/2 to 10 1/2. Here's a picture of the train as it attempted to pull out of the DART station at Garland Road:

The Black Sheep Squadron (aka, Mike Bowers & Mike Shearburn) were again thrust into the Scratch Flight, but their bravery and panache proved to be no match for their plus-handicap opponents. Kudos also to Dave Schmertz, Jerry Hass, Mel Robinson, Byron Barlow, George Derr, and Larry Gekiere, who all fought valiently but were able to scratch out by a handful of points from their DAC opponents.

After one week break in the action, LCCC will look to get on the board when we host Gleneagles for Match #3 of the 2011 TGA League Play series on Thursday, March 24.
