It was a cold and breezy day in Howey-in-the-Hills, an hour and a half north of Tampa.  41 Pirates braved the frigid temps to play our first tournament at Mission Inn Resort & Club on the famed El Campeon course.  Some days, golfers win.  On other days, the course comes out on top.  On Saturday, the course and weather combined to beat back all golfers but one, the lone lefty in the field, Jans Tamayo.

Jans was the only player who managed to finish above their Quota at +1.  He shot 91 over 18 holes to achieve 20 points, 1 more than his Quota of 19.  He is the official Jose Gaspar for the month, and earns a $258 payday.

Our runnerup was one of our lady Pirates, Cindy McGrath, who shot a 97 to barely miss her Quota of 17 by 1 to finish at -1.  Cindy is our Skallywag, and takes home $86 for 2nd place.

We had a tie between 2 players for 3rd place, Eric Delgado and Fabian Zamora.  Going to the scorecards, Eric won on the first playoff hole due to both players making a triple bogey, but Eric gets a shot on that hole.  3rd place was worth $28, and the title of Deckhand for the month.

Our green eyed former playboy, Frank Perez, who won last month, went south in shooting a 98, getting only 16.5 points, and missing his newly minted Quota of 31 by 14.5 points.  Although he wins nothing, his Quota does drop down to a 29 after Saturday's rough outing.

We will be back at the beautiful Skyview Golf & Country Club on February 11, my Valentine Pirates.  Let's hope for some warmer weather and better scores.
