> Rotten Rick (and party) was up to his dastardly tricks last night at

> with some sneaky scoring adjustments and adding in a touch of delay
> with smoke breaks and topping it off with animal noises and comments
> in the middle of a back swing, Puma Pawson fought a heroic battle to
> retain TWAC. Bushie got off to his usual woodsy, start hitting the
> pine tree on the tee shot of the first hole. Current DGIMP holder,
> Comeback Klein, narrowly avoided the trees to end up in the fairway.
> When Puma launched a beautiful tee shot to the middle of the fairway,
> Bushie started conniving plan B. Puma had a 3-stroke lead going into
> the woods when plan B was initiated. As Puma started his tee throw
> on #6, a stray comment about a cute squirrel that might be looking to

> Harry Potter reference). While Puma managed to stay focused enough
> to score a 4 on #6, that just meant that plan C went into effect.
> Bushie, hoping no one would notice, claimed to have made par on that
> hole. When called out and shown each of his throws, he quickly

> On #8, Bushie propelled his disc mightily towards the large lonely
