Hello 12's! Gather 'round and lend an ear to a tale of rivalry, pride, and a verdant battlefield marked by brotherly competition. This here story is woven from the fabric of small-town America, where the sun shines bright and the souls of two brothers are locked in a timeless contest of clubs and determination. So, settle into your rockers and pour some lemonade, for this is the US Open Story of Conman and Reno911.
The Brothers’ Beginnings
In a time when towns were tight-knit and community meant everything, two brothers, equal in ambition and skill, set forth on a path that would see them as both kin and rivals. Born to a revered local golfer, the elder, Connor, soon earned the nickname Conman for his strategic mind and calculating demeanor. The younger, Caleb, with a fiery temper and relentless drive, became known as Reno911.
From their earliest days, the brothers vied for their father's admiration, each trying to outshine the other in daring drives and perfect putts. Yet, their father's lack of emotional competency left no clear heir to his legacy, and so the seeds of discord were sown deep in their hearts.
The Rift Widens
Years went by, and the brothers' rivalry grew into a bitter feud. Conman laid claim to the prestigious Camas Meadows Golf Club, while Reno911 took control of the rustic town of Reno Nevada, known for its challenging terrain. Their paths crossed often, each encounter more intense than the last, as they sought to capture the lion's share of their father's admiration. The greens whispered of their duels, where the sound of clashing clubs and the echo of perfectly struck balls reverberated through the countryside.
The Fateful Confrontation
The climax of their fierce rivalry came on a surprisingly sunny day at the fabled Elk Ridge Golf Club for this nations Open Championship. The air was thick with tension, and the clouds began to churn as if Mother Nature herself was stirring the pot. Conman and Reno911 met under a bright and soon to be darkening sky, their determined figures looming like giants on the first tee.
The match began with a thunderous drive as Conman birdied 1, the day erupting into a contest of skill and precision. The brothers danced a heated tango across the fairways, each hole a new battleground where strokes were counted like lives on the line. It wasn’t long before the fight moved from the greens to the heart of the course.
There, on the infamous 18th hole, the brothers met for the final time a 2 stroke lead for Conman in the balance. The storm raged around them, lightning casting eerie shadows as they lined up their shots. The duel was fierce, each stroke fueled by years of pent-up rivalry and ambition. Conman’s cold precision clashed against Reno911’s fiery passion, the sound of their clubs lost in the howling through the valley.
The Final Stroke
The match seemed endless, but fate had decreed there would be only one victor. In a moment of unparalleled skill, Conman hits his tee shot inside of Reno911's on the 10th hole, sinks his birdie putt and effectively ends the match while delivering a decisive blow. Reno911 fell to his knees, the storm’s fury matching the tempest within his heart.
As the final score was tallied, the brothers shared a final, poignant look. There, amidst the chaos of the league they remembered their bond, now shattered beyond repair. Conman shouldered his club, leaving the defeated Reno911 as a somber testament to their tragic tale.
The Aftermath
The news of the duel spread like wildfire through the town, a grim reminder of the dangers of pride and the high cost of rivalry. Conman continued his reign over the courses and the POY points race, but his victory was hollow, his heart forever shadowed by the ghost of his brother.
And so, the legend of the dueling brothers lived on, a story told at every diner and whispered in the breeze that sweeps the open fairways. For in the world of golf, where fortune and fate are as fickle as the weather, the tale of Conman and Reno911 stands as a timeless testament to the perilous dance of ambition and kinship.
Until Next Time
So, raise your glasses high, dear friends, and remember well the tale of the two dueling brothers. For in this life of golf, where the line between friend and foe is as thin as a putter’s edge, we must heed the lessons of those who came before us. Fairways and greens to you all, and may your rivalries never end in such bitter sorrow. Cheers!
On to the lowlights:
Roedog - 15th Place. Last in standing and last to the course. Unbelievable. How much later could we have scheduled this one?
Chambermaid - 14th Place. Pulls a Sloppy and makes a 10 on 1 on his way to a 58 front 9. Never had it today.
Spanky - 13th Place. 2 birdies on the front 9 and still shoots a 45. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
The Snake - 12th Place. Even 100 on the day, rattles off 3 pars on a row on the back 9 just to prove that he can.
Ca Lifornia - T10th Place. 1 par on the front and just 1 on the back. 3 hour drive to shoot like me? Was it worth it?
Easy - T10th Place. On Father's day watches his 2 boys go toe-to-toe. What a cool moment. Would have been cooler if you played the dad card and put those to entitled fuckers in their place.
Hellboy - 9th Place. The back to back champ couldn't find the magic today. Would have lost money if you had asked me prior to the round if he'd finish this far back.
Headcase - T7th Place. Just a bit off all day. Not much but enough. Also, when the flat stick fails you the way it did on Sunday all you can do is go buy that Scotty!
Sloppy - T7th Place. Looks like the handicap has taken effect. Thank God. Mediocre is where he is comfortable and where we all want him.
El Toro - 6th Place. 42/41 isn't enough. When will the drought end for the bull? Some say the curse of Dozer is upon you. Other's say it's because you're a dick. Either way, God Speed.
Precious - T3rd Place. 4-3 putts and a variety of other fuckery keeps me out of the money. Not enough pars but plenty of bird-oegys to go around.
Magic Mike - T3rd Place. Held the outright lead by 4 strokes at 1 point is undone by an 8 on 5 and never regains the magic.
Railing Your Mom - T3rd Place. 42/42. As consistent as it gets' takes himself out of the running on 17 with a blow-up 8. and drops 4 strokes to the leaders. Rory and Railing. Hand in Hand.
Reno911 - 2nd Place. +1 on the back 9 to make it a game. Is this league realing going to be the Shira show? If so, I'm out.
Cheers again to you Conman, you proved Sunday that you are still the better brother.
Onward and Upward,
President Precious
