Your D-Cup founder, Brandon T. Walker, has asked that I post the pairings for the first round of the 2017 Desert Cup, held in sunny Tucson, AZ. For the Canyon Course, I've included the your course handicap as calculated by the USGA in parenthesis next to the player's name.
In the coming weeks, we'll be posting course reviews, player interviews, and notes from the Prize Meister, Captains, etc.
Sooo...
Pairing 1 "The Battle of the Guaranteeds"
As each of the players in this foursome have historically been a sure bet to score a point for their captains, this is sure to be a full-on battle.
Team Walker
Bob Woods (10)
Weeds (5)
Team South
The Buzzsaw (10)
Allan Boldt (12)
Pairing 2 "The Big Cottonwood Stake Throwdown"
Each of these players has spent significant time or formative years in the Big Cottonwood Stake. This match is for all the road shows and deacons' basketball games on carpeted floors.
Team Walker
Brandon (18)
Aaron "You done messed up, A-Aron!" Walker (23)
Team South
The Pulverizer (17)
Buck (Only the Good Lord Knows)
Pairing 3 "The IV Redemption Tour"
This is the match that will determine which of our fallen warriors from We-Ko-Pa will rise above adversity and their predilection to sunstroke and carry their team.
Team Walker
Tyler Kunz (12)
Tucker (13)
Team South
Eric Mead (17)
Mike Allen (14)
Pairing 4 "The Headhunter's Reckoning"
Last year, Sollis collected a mighty headhunting fee as the player who finally bagged Dougie. The question now is if he can return to the Cup in the same form.
Team Walker
Travis Heath (18)
BA (6)
Team South
Solly (12)
Shummy (12)
Pairing 5 "The Single Digits vs. The Rest of Us"
It's time to see if the single digit guys can handle giving up double digit strokes to players... and if the higher handicappers can take advantage.
Team Walker
Dougie (22)
Rocky (11)
Team South
Gary (4)
Rosie (6)
