Yates Cup Finale

Posted in Uncategorized on Apr 18, 2005

Well it was with great excitement that Charley Yates Golf Club welcomed only the second Game 7 in the 5 match history of the Yates Cup. Mark was trying to win a record 4th Cup.
Things started well as i moved to 2 up by hole number 6. Here Mark opines on his chances of pulling out a victory.
Later he brought out a furious charge however and birdies were traded as we headed towards home. Here we talk about the results of the last few holes and Mark asks me some dumb questions about my camera.
As Mark contemplates hole 17 he knows that if he wins one of the next two holes, he will get to keep the famed tiny yellow big bird for another year.

Luckily for Mark (who has Mackey Sasser disease with 17 and 18) the tee box has been moved to an alternate (and less mentally torturous) set of tees. he calmly gets up and down for his par moments after my own par putt had burnt the lip. Mark won the deciding round of the Yates Cup 2 and 1 and proved himself a worthy foe once again (despite the hitch in his backswing).

You can notice on the scorecard that both competitors stepped up their games for the final, and that’s all anyone can ask for.
Our international fans will be cheered to know that our liscensing and syndication issues have been cleared up and next years Yates Cup should be beemed commercial-free worldwide. If i could insert music here i’d include the “one shining moment” thing that cbs does at the end of every ncaa basketball tourney with a montage from all the Yates Cup rounds, but i can’t so maybe if you’re reading this you can just hum and imagine it. – charles

    Nice work Mr. Breland. I really think your game is coming around. You might even win the Yates Cup again down the road (right after the Cubs win the world series).

    A par-58 course? Where are the pictures of windmills? Where’s the clown you had to bank your “long iron” off of?
