Man Suffers 37 Strokes

Team McDonald achieved the high score of 37 strokes at the Links at Ireland Grove golf course Thursday evening.

The best-ball format was part of the 2nd annual Life/Health Actuarial Department golf social. McDonald planned to bypass the event, but was recruited by the coordinator to captain a four-person squad of unattached employees.

Justin Mai - employee of 4 days
Lisa Pankau - summer intern

The highly talented (at non-golfing) quartet rolled the ball merrily along the ground, through the weeds, into the rough and the water. Finishing 7 over par earned them a sizable lead over the next closest finisher, and a gaping 10 strokes behind the event winner.

The team was given a cheap plastic blue cup of shame, and awarded large rainbow-colored suckers because, as stated, "You suck."

Team McDonald immediately embarked on its plan to defend the honor by swearing off golf until next year.
