At least he beat Charles Barkley (anyone who saw highlights of Barkley’s swing knows what I mean – OMG!). I’m sure Brian would have had a better score if it weren’t such a fun event – I know I wouldn’t have been able to focus on golf!

I went there today and got to talk to him and he took a picture with me. He is a really nice guy.

I just got back from the tournament. The scoring system is not the normal golfing one. It’s a different kind of system called modified Stableford scoring. It is possible to earn zero points or even lose a point or 2 on a hole. So a minus is really not good. But trust me, they are having a lot of fun out there. A few take it pretty seriously but most are just out to have a good time. Was there for 4 nights and it was a party at Harrah’s every night! Don’t know how some of them got up for their early tee times…

He may be losing on the scoreboard, but I bet he’s killing Barkley at Acey Ducey and Bingo Bango Bongo.

Golfing usually is based on the fewer strokes the better hence negative scores being good. But in this tournament they have a scoring system, if you look at the top of the score board you will see what earns points and what loses you points, IE +1 for pars or -2 for Double Bogies

So in this case it isn’t how many swings it takes you to complete a hole but how you complete the whole which earns you points. The more points you earn the better.

I always thought in golf that if your score is in the minus that’s good! Less hits to make the hole. I have so much to learn! (Hey…less hits…etc…THATS WHAT SHE SAID!) :)

Go Brian! Anyone who has any association with The Office deserves to win at life. Because The Office is delightful. Karma is at work if he wins.
