2005 Beer-Golf.com Asian Masters

An eventful four days culminated in a 3-way playoff at the Beer-Golf.com Asian Masters in Phuket on Sunday.  Doddsie emerged victorious in a wet 9th green chip-off over Slim Shady and JT winning the coveted Ernie Els-signed polo.

Thursday Bloody Thursday

The excitement started early in Thursday's warm-up round.  After absorbing a comprehensive Vegas beating at the hands of President Briano, Doddsie absorbed  the Blue Canyon locker room's jacuzzi stairs with the back of his head.  The Beer-Golf.com Emergency Response Team of Briano, Beanie and Johan managed to get the wounded to proper care without further incident.

Quicksand and a Little Too Much JD

Friday's opening round saw Swedish strongman Johan and his partner, one of the Hong Kong Mark's, well clear of the field with a best ball 42.  El Presidente emerged from waist deep quicksand behind #2 green to capture second with Slim Shady.  Slim took the early individual lead with HK Mark close behind.   Thanks to his easy access to official European Tour gear, Johan was appointed chairman of the newly formed, Apparel Committee. Famed professional piper JD headlined the evening's entertainment.

 

 

Beau Scores at Last

Long time Beer-Golf.com veteran Triple B logged his maiden victory, teaming with Karl the Swede to shoot 42 and win a steamy Saturday best ball at Loch Palm.  Brooksie/Gary and Mini Me/Johan shared joint second one point back.  Mini Me and Beanie posted 2 days totals of 62 to share the lead in the overall.  Despite Mini Me's ample pouring of post round Johnnie Walker, the remainder of the day was remarkably incident free.

 

Tsunami Sunday

Despite a back nine downpour, Styler and the other Hong Kong Mark posted the best rounds of the tournament at 36.  The other HK Mark, extracted revenge for being placed on probation for dress code violations by teaming with Doddsie's 35 to win the day's best ball on 44.  Mini Me placed for the second consecutive day this time partnered with Nicklas.  After a well intentioned drenching of the field to earn Rookie of the Year honors and the new nickname, Tsu, JT moved on to the championship chipoff with Slim and Doddsie where Doddsie emerged victorious.
