The Ryder Cup 2013

Every year, around the middle of August,my favourite Brady Bunch family get together and get competitive. This year was no exception, and on August 17, the flags were hung...


... the teams were chosen, and the signs were posted! Time again for the annual:


There were a few odd spectators, including me, camera in hand, and this guy, who had the best seat in the house and what had to be a full-on view of his own underside.


Ron had made scoreboards to go along with his handcrafted washertoss boxes, to make sure everything was on the up-and-up.


Also on the up-and-up, a little old fashioned father-son rock paper scissors to get things going.


Not so much on the up-and-up? Dan of team Dickran, trying to psyche out Georgina of The Diamond Ringers.


There was some fine competition



...and some fine-looking ladies!


 Willie even did triple-duty as player, hostess, and 'adult entertainment'.


 A little mother-son bonding never hurt anyone. Not permanently, anyway.


 Although the team bonding may have resulted in some long-term injury.


At the end of the day, it was down to two teams:


A bit of competitive camaraderie before things got heated up:

...and heat up they did! Stretches before washertoss? Intimidating the competition, I'm sure.


Looks like it worked!
 Congratulations to Bobby and Jamie, collectively known as Nerd Rage, and to the 2013 Ryder Cup champions, Shayne and Andre, befittingly  named The Long Shots!
