The 3rd regular season event had it all: make up dates, rain, AWOLs, suspensions and a dramatic finish that was one for the ages!

Tommy's Honour, played at Silver Lake Golf Course on Staten Island, technically kicked off with Frank Q and Matt P as both members were unable to make the round on May 5th. Matt surely wishes his score was eligible to win. Golfers who are unable to attend on event day cannot win but can still finish anywhere from 2nd to last place. Matt put up an overall low sore of 58! His opponent in the Roy McAvoy Classic, Dean, would have too much to overcome a week later and would watch his good friend Matt move on to the Elite 8. Frank Q would put up a very respectable score of 72, which was good for 16th place, but would succumb to his opponent, Donnie, to be mentioned later on. 

​

May 5th began with our first group, which consisted of Frank E, Norm, and Steve. We were supposed to have a sudden death hole off between Mike Boots and Norm, where the winner would face Frank E that day as part of the Sweet 16 in the RMC. Mike, however, was a last minute cancellation with a makeup date to be played a week later. Norm could have used the in person boost to his competitiveness as he mustered up a lousy 82 which gave him a tie for 22nd. Frank E was rolling and finished with the lowest natural score (88), giving him a 68 with the handicap, good for a 3-way tie for 9th place. Spoiler alert: he would eventually be eliminated by Mike who caught fire around hole 7 to put Frank in the rear view mirror and move himself on to the Elite 8 of the Roy McAvoy. Mike finished his makeup day with a resounding 62 which gave him a tie for 3rd place with his better looking cousin, Tom. Steve, in typical fashion, wasn't good, wasn't bad, and his 70 put him in 14th place snagging him his first ever W.M.D. award!

​

The 2nd group went out as another threesome: Matt B, Andrew and Frank P. Pete was this groups' AWOL, something along the lines of a "newborn" was his excuse. Matt B. and Andrew were matched up in the RMC and boy did we have drama! Cursing, club smashing, and trash talk saw this battle come to an end by the closest of margins, 1 stroke! The winner would be Matt B. who shot a 74 (T-17th), escaping Andrew's 75 (T-19th). Pete would be able to make up his round the next week as well, and his match-up against Frank P would also come down to the wire. Pete was chasing Frank's beautiful score of 66 (7th place). Stumbling down the stretch, however, Pete would finish with a respectable 68, losing by 2, but picking up some points in the standings with a finish of a tie for 9th place. 

​

Group 3 had Ryan, Dean, Joe, and newcomer Jon G. Jon retroactively played a round at La Tourette to get a handicap and was awarded last place for the first 2 events for the sake of points and standings. The newest member played with the lowest handicap of the WGC at +20 and had a great day considering that fact, finishing with a 75 , leacing him in that tie for 19th. Dean, as mentioned earlier, was chasing Matt P.'s blistering score of 58 and was unable to do so. He finished in 21st with a score of 77. Ryan and Joe would duke it out in their match-up, going toe-to-toe the majority of the day. Originally handing in a scorecard of 66, Ryan would go on to think he won this excellent Sweet 16 match. However, after review from the committee and Prez Dez, Ryan actually had a score of 69 (T-12th) which would give Joe the much deserved victory after posting a 67 (8th place). Ryan would go on to be handed a suspension of 40 days and 40 nights, deeming him ineligible to compete in the next event, the Bejeezus-Belt Championship. He will return just in time to play the D.W.I. on July 14th.

​

The Tin Cup Cup winner, Donnie, would go out with Byrnes, J Bob and Pat in Group 4. Donnie would be pursuing the score of 72 left by Frank Q and was able to with some ease, staying hot with a score of 64, 3 strokes shy of the Tommy's Honour winner. Byrnes seemed to be more interested with his intake of booze and still took away 15th place with a score of 71. J Bob and Pat played along in their match-up and J Bob was the unlucky one here. After finishing with a 69 (T-12th), he had a front row seat to Pat and his 61 which would announce him Tommy's Honour winner, but he wouldn't know it until the last group finished.

​

Group 5 combined Tom, Anthony M, Tim, and Chris M. Chris continued his strong play finishing in 6th place with a nice 65. Tim, on the other hand, couldn't find his touch and ended up with an 86 (24th place). Anthony M and Tom had a nice back and forth in their match-up but Tom's hot start was too much to come back from for Anthony, who finished in a tie for 17th with a 74. Tom naturally parred holes 2-4 and that set the tone for the rest of the day. Battling the elements, he was red hot through the first 16 holes. However, the yips on 17 watched him score a 6, and the hecklers on 18 watched him score a 7, losing him the event by 1 stroke, despite the great score of 62, ultimately putting him in that tie for 3rd place.

​

Alex and Anthony P would be the last to make up their rounds. Alex had a nice day with a 68 (t-9th) and Anthony P struggled to an 82 (T-22nd). 

​

Brandon and Chris L were unable to participate, therefor automatically finishing them in 25th and 26th, respectively.

​

Congrats to Pat on an incredible day, taking home the title of  first ever Tommy's Honour's winner!

​

The Roy McAvoy Classic Elite 8, to be played out at the next event, will now see Cousin Mike vs Cousin Tom, Joe vs Donnie, Frank P vs Pat, and Matt P vs Matt B, a rivlary that blossomed at the pre-season's Bogey Bonus event.
