Wittelsbacher Finals 2010 - many first times

It was a solid tournament with many "first times".  For the first time we have a South African champion. For the first time there were Aussies from the Uni of Tasmania, which is at the most bottom-ish bottom part of Australia. There were no shuttle accidents, which is also a first time. Bournemouth, one of the strongest university golf teams in UK entered for the first time and James Pearson (Manchester) took over a couple of jobs during the weekend. Only Johannes "Mitch" Mitzscherlich (WFI-Ingolstadt) conflicts with the rule of the "first times". He played a marvelous 77, the second best stroke play score in the field. Since the inaugural tournament in 2006 Johannes has delivered top-5 stroke play results (78, 72, 76, 77) with one exception in 2008 (82). To compensate we've already planned a "first time" for the 2011 Wittelsbacher Finals. Team Manchester will work on the barbecue grills during the Welcome Dinner on the evening of the arrival day, should they qualify through the Arden Qualifier. For the exact same 45 minutes that it took us to cleanse their hostel room today and listen to the instructions of the warden afterwards.
