1. Dolla’ dolla’ bills, y’all! After a hard-fought game of Left-Right-Center, it was Ian Daniels, superintendent at Teugega CC in Rome, N.Y., who walked away with the cash.

3. The battle lines are drawn An annual tradition at the Golfdom Summit is to see if anyone can take down the reigning pingpong champ, Jeff Leuzinger of Healthy Grow (left). Many tried, including Alan Davis, Willow Creek CC, Sandy, Utah (right) … but the champ still left with his belt.

4. Any possible advantage We caught North Coast Media CEO Kevin Stoltman (center) discussing pin placements and green speeds with Reunion Resort superintendents Robert Guerra (left) and Ron Sharps in advance of the scramble tournament. But how many advantages does a guy who’s hitting the ball straight down the middle really need?

5. Johnson & Johnsen Aaron, Aaron. Johnson, Johnsen. Doctor, doctor. We couldn’t resist putting Aaron Johnson (right), CGCS, Dacotah Ridge GC, Redwood Falls, Minn., in the same cart as Aaron Johnsen, sales director, WinField United. It turns out great names golf alike.
