“Grant was solid, Sam was a star out there, and our rookie held his own.” said Team Captain Mez.

“We needed this team victory to bring the MGI Cup back to a 2-2 tie!” continued Mez.

Team TK captain Todd Keiper was tough to reach for a comment but did release a statement.

“……we had our chances and moments, and I know our team took back a lot of skins money with Gol leading the skin count, but there was a lot of ‘winter’ rust on some of the team.  In the long run, this loss will help us.  We thought we were unbeatable! The MGI Cup is now tied at 2-2, and Team TK will be back stronger and better prepared in 2011 to take back the Cup!…..”

“It is important that you take the time to check your golf equipment! You need to re-spike the golf shoes, throw out the old golf gloves, and make sure you golf bag is order.” remarked Craig Goleno.

“These simple tips wil eleviate a lot of stress that comes from scrambling around the clubhouse 2 minutes before your tee time trying to buy something last minute.”
