FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2015 49 Kenny Payne made his presence known this month as well as last month. This month he was in the final matches of both the 8 Ball and the 9 Ball in-house tournaments. In 8 Ball, Kenny went all the way into the final matches undefeated against a field of 11 players. In round three of regular play he defeated Dewey Allen, but Dewey won three rounds in the losers column to get into the finals. Game one action found Dewey making an attempt at the 8 Ball, but he missed. Kenny shot a defensive shot, blocking Dewey's line of sight to the 8 Ball. Kenny then got his chance to shoot and sink the 8 for the win. Thanh Harrah was undefeated in the first four rounds of 9-Ball play, knocking me out in round three to face Kenny Payne. Kenny won, putting Thanh into the loser's column to play once against me. She won that and advanced into the final double elimination rounds and was required to beat Kenny twice. Thanh won the coin toss to break the rack in game one, battling to the nine, and sunk it with a beautiful deadeye shot. Kenny won the right to break in game two, but suffered a miss on the 2 ball due to a double kiss. Thanh was presented with a 2 Ball-9 Ball combination shot that she executed perfectly to take the championship for the month. Congratulations Thanh!

This photo catches the 9 Ball dropping into the pocket during Thanh's brilliant 2-9 combo for the win! During his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level. The patient described his typical day as this: "Well yesterday afternoon I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush. Then I marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy subsequent to crawling out of quicksand. I next had to jump away from a rattlesnake and took four leaks behind big trees." Inspired by the story, the doctor said, "you must be one hell of an outdoors man!" "NO, he replied, I'm just a crappy golfer." We are the Distinguished Duffers who play Golf on Friday mornings at affordable and local golf venues.
