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.
