Magnetic Resonance in Golf
Third Meeting, January 22nd, 2006
Darrin Lindhout, Michael Sykes, Brian Sykes and Bill Kenney line up at the 1st Tee.
This year, the MR Golf Challenge returned to its traditional home at the Stanford Golf Course. Bill Kenney was along to represent corporate sponsor Varian, and chose Darrin Lindhout as his playing partner. This left Sykes and Sykes trying to recapture their previous glory of the infamous defeat of Shaw and Gagne (ca. 2000). Unfortunately, the Sykes pairing was unable to muster enough length off the tee and/or prowess around the green, falling short on the count of both High/Low and Low/Aggies scoring systems.
While all of the contestants remarked upon the fine weather, a shortage of hot dogs and the representation of Budweiser as "Imported Beer" at the turn cast a pall over the subsequent holes.
Looking down the 18th fairway. Sykes2 had been numerically eliminated from competition several holes prior to this point.
