It's a whole...

Playing for keeps...

... a lot of fun. Yes, putt putt is a whole a lot fun, and that was certainly the case for those Gentlemen who ventured out to the course this past Labor Day. Playing in pairs, Gentlemen of every class level were represented, playing for individual as well as team glory. The competition was fierce with some people even bringing their own putters! And regardless if you sank a hole in one (and some sunk many a hole in one), everyone enjoyed themselves, taking a break from their cares and concerns... and their labors too. But in the end, fun had to give way to having a winner, and oddly enough, it all ended in a tie! The honor and glory of being called the Steds putt putt champion was claimed by both youth and wisdom with freshman Luke Donoghue and Steds in-residence priest Fr. Kevin Sandberg, CSC tying for first with scores of thirty-eight. And when it came to team winners, it was ANOTHER tie, again with freshmen Luke Donoghue and Wes Roeder and Frs. Ralph Haag CSC and Kevin Sandberg CSC with scores of eighty. On being a winner, Donoghue, New Yorker, freshmen and now putt putt pro, was magnanimous and shared "Putt-Putt Golf was a terrific bonding experience that brought the Steds community even closer together.  I’m honored to be able to share my score with a talented golfer like Fr. Kevin." 

But in the end, everyone was a winner as all went to Culver's for ice cream treats and more!

BUT THERE'S MORE...

There's no doubt. The competition at this friendly event was unspoken but really real, and for two freshmen it came to a head at the third hole. Deciding to put aside the trash talking, Freshmen Kyle Mackey and Tai Thompson Cook focused their energies not on their put downs but on the putting prowess. First to go was Mackey, and well, let's just say watch the video. As for Tai, he got a hole in one!
