Has Hell Frozen Over?


Guest Author: Sully

Has hell frozen over? Are pigs actually flying this week? Did Luna really win a Reunion Tour event? If I were a betting man, I would place my money (and a ton of it) on one of the first two options! Both would appear more likely to happen than Luna winning ANY type of GOLF event. Well I, along with the rest of the betting world, would be on the losing end of that bet.

Luna did win the Greater Atlanta Classic this past Sunday held at St. Marlo Country Club by posting an incredible 81. What made his 81 incredible was how he began his round. Luna stepped up to the range and hacked, sliced, chunked, shanked and dribbled nearly 100 balls no more than 35 yards from the spot in which he stood! One man that witness this train wreck said, "How in the hell does this guy hold a job, any job, in the golf industry?" Somehow Luna managed to shake off 100 poorly struck range ball and run off par after par during his round. At one point he carded 6 straight pars! Even more incredible than Luna's win, was the fact that Dick posted an EASY 38 on the front 9 and failed to close. Dick put up back-to-back birdies on 6 and 7, only to miss a 3rd consecutive birdie by less than an inch on 8. When I caught up with Dick after the round he was in shock. "If you had told me at the turn that Luna would win today, I would have told you 'bullshit'." As easy as his 38 was on the front 9, his 48 on the back was anything but. Dick struggled with his tee shots on the backside, often finding himself in the trees or even reloading. After congratulating Luna on his victory, Dick informed the press that he was heading straight to the Reunion Tour physician to be checked out. "I am worried that it is a case of Loopus (not to be confused with Lupus) or an iron deficiency." Luna was also concerned about Dick's health. "I am really worried about him. He simply does not have the strength to put 2 9's together this year. His days of domination are over. I am the new king to the Tour!" As for the man that brought up the rear, Scotty 7, he actually played pretty well. Scotty 7 posted an even 90 on the day. He hit some great shots, but also whiffed on a few as well. "All in all, I am pleased with my round today. I have not been playing much this year, and I am not in golf shape. I know I have tons of work left, but I am pleased with my round. It is just unbelievable that Luna has a Reunion Tour win with that swing of his! But good for him." That about sums it up for everyone.

Luna has a Tour win and the 4th member of the Reunion Tour has yet to make an appearance! Will Drew make it to an event this season? Luna thinks not, especially after his win this weekend. "Everyone knows I have the most talent out here. Drew knows that I have passed him with this win. I really believe that I will chase down Dick's record of 6 Cup wins." From this man's view point, Luna has a long way to go before his challenges for a Reunion Cup victory. However, he did close out very strong this past Sunday. Has he overcome his mental issues? Only time will tell, but he does have a Reunion Tour W in his back pocket. Guess the KC Royals have a shot at the World Series too!
