Mallethead, Surferino, Mr. Wicket, Sticky Wicket, Leftie and Wick O'Shay played two rounds on an alternate course. The afternoon was initially cool and windy but became warmer for the second round.
Speaking of warm, Wick O'Shay's game was torrid. He won both rounds hitting shots-of-the-day in each round. Mr Wicket's great shots were eclipsed by Wick's.

Two rounds were played on the original course. Mr. Wicket, Leftie, Wick O'Shay and Surferino competed. Although Mr. Wicket won the first round and Surferino the second, the real story was the weather.
On what was the absent Sticky Wicket's birthday, the heat was on. Not only was the sky mostly clear, the strong wind was warm. The competitors baked in the sunshine. The white capped ocean sparkled in the distance. Beer koozies were required but nearly inadequate to the task. This was the type of day the players had not seen in many months and it was bitchin.

A full contingent of Cowabungas played two rounds on the newly mown original course. Prior to play, Leftie, Wick O'Shay, Mallethead, Surferino, Mr. Wicket and Sticky Wicket probed the course with screwdrivers trying to locate the bolts inserted into wicket holes. After aerating the lawn, all wicket placements were discovered.
The first round was played under mostly sunny conditions. Mallethead, overcoming recent surgeries, was the last Cowabunga standing, a tribute to his fortitude and ability to play with pain.
Layers of clothing had to be added during the second round as the sun disappeared behind thickening cloud cover. Sticky Wicket won the round after Surferino missed a short kill shot. During the round, Sticky demonstrated the Sticky Shuffle, simulating a guitar with his mallet and skip-hopping across the lawn, looking like a vanilla Chuck Berry in denim.

Mallethead, Sticky Wicket, Wick O'Shay, Surferino and Mr. Wicket played two late afternoon rounds on nice but cool day at the northside mother course. The course layout was altered due to soft spots.
Surferino won the first round during which Mallethead committed suicide. Prior to his untimely death shot, someone in the gallery suggested that a possible outcome of the long distance wicket shot Mallethead was attempting could be a shank hitting Surferino's ball. Then, it happened exactly as suggested.
En route to winning the second round, Sticky missed a kill shot on Mallethead's ball and went through a wicket thereby committing sepuku. It seemed fitting that Mallethead won as a result of a suicide shot.

Mr. Wicket, Sticky Wicket, Wick O'Shay and Surferino played two rounds at the southside course. Chilly in the shade but warm in the sunlight and hitting long straight shots, Wick O'Shay dominated the competition such as it was. One might say Wick enjoyed a home field advantage, but one would be mean spirited to do so. Wick Wick Wick O'Shay!
