Here's Sammy on the #6 tee box. Why is he smiling? Because he just birdied the par 5 5th!

That stance and subsequent swing would net a par on this tricky 175 yard par 3.

Matt on # 6. "Just click your heels together three times, and say: 'There's no place like the green, no place like the green.'"

Now here's a surprise: This FUGLY stance and swing still made a greeny par.

Don't be fooled folks, that's Matt's SECOND shot in the middle of the 10th fairway. Between his beer, putter, and golf ball, I was waiting for him to throw down his beach chair and cooler right there and start putting on sun tan oil.

OK, you can tell he's serious now, he's got his putter pointing towards the target, and his beer within two-step range.

Sam stopped smiling on #10. After shooting a FABULOUS 40 for the front nine, it starts to come unglued here, and this downhill bender gives you an indication.

Sammy is STILL putting on #10.

Beautiful swing, unfortunately, he doesn't know his own strength. Missing the green long here means bogie baby. Unless you're Hench, and can chip it tight.

Yep, it's REALLY coming unglued. After going four over for the first nine, he's FIVE over for the next two. OUCH!

We come to the easiest hole on the course, with a beautiful view from the tee box.

Yep, a BEAUTIFUL view!

Hench gives Sammy the "Golfer's Blessing" to straighten out his game on the back nine.

Pelicans. Here they are NOT diving for fish.

Hench's "Golfer's Blessing" doesn't work. Sammy is in trouble again on # 12.

What do you call a golfer who pars the # 1 handicap hole, and takes a snowman on the #18 handicap hole? S-A-M-M-Y!
