Hello everyone, Jim Nance here coming to you today from the CC at Castle Pines bringing you Day 1 action as we go alongside Match 7. This match sees The Brew Crew’s favorite Sith Lord Charles (
deathstar) and his apprentice Leon (
Loftyando) matched up against our lovable Jedi Master Ken L (
jg24kl) and his Padawan Victor (
VctryLnSprts). I’m pleased to welcome in a special cohost for today’s action, Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar, would you like to say a few words before we drop in on the action?
Yesa mesa would Jim. Thanken yousa per haven mesa today, mesa am excited to sharen all of stories wit yousa
Thanks Jar Jar, we’ll see where the round takes us but let’s stick to the golf for now. Folks, if you’ve followed The Brew Crew at all you have to believe the Sith pairing is the favorite here would you agree Jar Jar?
Mesa would agreen Jim. Da Dark Side amma Jim. Daysa control everytten. By da timen wesa figured it out, it was too laten. When mesa became a junior senator mesa had not idea about anytten but da people shu mesa so daysa sayen “Jar Jar, pleasen represent us” and den da Chancellor took more and more power and den…
Jar Jar, shall we get to the golf match?
Yesa
Ok then, let’s go to the opening hole where we find our match already in progress. The Sith pairing have both made birdies and we now await the Jedi pairing. Ken sinks the birdie putt and now Victor is up for par. It just skirts by the cup and the Monarchs jump out to a quick lead. Never afraid to back down from a challenge The Jedi Strike Back on hole two with Jedi Master Ken somehow draining a 40ft birdie putt to pull the match level. I tell you what Jar Jar, I’m surprised the Jedi were able to pull that off
Disa exciten Jim, mui liken da timen mesa helped da Gungans defeat da traden federateon on Naboo. Yousa see Jim, mesa strategy was to…
Jar Jar, again, can we get back to the match?
Mesa guessen
The match has remained level as we head to the 5th green which has seen the Sith Lord himself as the only one able to reach in under regulation. The eagle putt spins around the cup and stays out. Nobody can believe what they just witnessed. Fortunately, the tap in birdie that was left was enough to win the hole for the Monarchs as the others made par. Do you think the Jedi can strike back again and level the match Jar Jar?
Mesa hopen, but as mesa menteon more early, mesa have seen disa before, yousa see all along, da Chancellor was…
Jar Jar, I think we should really get back to the match. Don’t you, they’re already on hole 9. What are you doing now?
Hiden
Why?
Mesa just looked at da scoreboard Jim, tis happenen again, dalee nosa hopen per da Jedi. Da Sith dee tup at da turnen. Dalee nosa possible way daysa can overcome dat
Well, Jar Jar, let’s get back in our chair and let the rest of the match play out. There are still nine holes to play, there’s plenty of time for the Jedi to mount a comeback
Folks we head out now to hole 11 where I believe we are about to see the Strikers get one back. The putt for Victor drops and they sneak by with a pair of birdies to cut the deficit to 2 up. See Jar Jar, there’s still time
If yousa sayen so. Mesa will still besa hair hiden
Well let’s see what hole 12 brings. Wow Jar Jar, what a tee shot by Ken. Nearly aced it. That will surely be a birdie for the Strikers. And Victor lands it safely on the green as well. Tricky putt ahead though, will do well to get it within 5ft for the par. And what have we here, a misstep by the Sith? Both players have shockingly missed the green altogether. Just giving the hole to the Strikers here Jar Jar. Monarchs are 1 up as we head to the 13th.
The players battled to a draw on the 13th before the Sith once more stretched out the lead with a birdie from the Sith Lord and the Monarchs move to 2 up with 4 to play. Jar Jar would you please, just get back in your chair
Nosa sir, mesa can watchen okeeday from hair
Alright then, have it your way, but you’re going to miss an exciting finish. The players halved the 15th after Leon made an incredible putt to save a bogey. Monarchs 2 up with 3 to play. The players move on to 16 where the incredible occurred. A miracle made for the Jedi. The Sith Lord’s birdie putt sailed by on the edge of the cup allowing the Jedi to steal the hole. Monarchs 1 up with two to play
Oh disa getten good now Jim. Da pressure still on da Jedi but daysa hangen around. Kind of liken dat timen tongue got zapped in da pod racer and den…
Jar Jar, let’s get back to the golf now
Mesa guessen. Yousa never let mesa finish Jim…
Anyways on to 17 where we find our foursome dueling on the green. The masters were able to score birdies while their apprentices scored pars. The match heads to 18 with the Monarchs 1 up.
The 18th hole and all it’s uphill glory awaited the golfers on the tee. The Jedi played first and each found the fairway. The Sith Lord and his apprentice followed suit. Can the Jedi pull off the miraculous comeback? Second shots follow suit with the Jedi and Sith Lord landing safely on the green. All three set up for birdie opportunities. The pressure was squarely on Leon and it proved to be too much. The ball landed on the ridge and slowly trickled backwards off the green. The chip back on came up just short leaving a tap in par. The others were able to make their birdie putts giving the Jedi the hole and leveling the match. I told you anything could happen Jar Jar
Yesa, mesa no believe yousa Jim. Mesa can not believe what mesa have just sawen. Kind of liken dat timen when da Chancellor took…
Well that’s all the time we have today folks. Thank you for tuning in and we hope you’ll come back and watch for Day 2’s report. Jar Jar, thank you for joining me today it was interesting to say the least
