Sticky got out to an early lead and laid up near the fourth wicket. Then, after going through the third wicket, Lefty smashed a looooong shot scoring a roquet on Sticky, earning SOD* honors. Both Left and Wick bounced over the seventh wicket with their turn around tee shots, a highly unusual occurrence. Lefty blazed ahead and became Poison. He set up behind the tenth wicket waiting to kill those approaching it, effectively blocking the wicket. Wick launched a long shot scoring a roquet on Sticky who had perfectly set up to go through the tenth wicket. Then, in a never seen before sequence, Wick placed his ball next to Sticky's, removed his sandals, put his left foot on his ball and sent Sticky through the tenth wicket striking Lefty on the other side. With Sticky dead and Lefty just barely out of the way, Wick used his second shot to go through the tenth wicket and then onward to become Poison. This sequence earned Wick POD** honors. Ultimately, Wick killed Mr. Wicket to win game one. This was his second, consecutive victory.
Game two lacked the drama of game one with the exception of a surprising sequence again involving Sticky Wicket in the area of the tenth wicket. This time, Sticky scored a roquet and used his first shot to get into position to strike Lefty on his second shot for a roquet. Upon scoring the roquet, Sticky would have been in position to set up to go through the eleventh and twelfth wickets to become Poison. However, Sticky forgot that Lefty was Poison. So, Sticky committed suicide. Thus, without taking a shot, Lefty twice caused Sticky's demise. Thereafter, Lefty and Surferino, both Poison, chased each other around the top of the course. Finally, Surferino scored a kill shot on Lefty, winning game two.
