2nd Annual John Price Invitational
Golf: TPC Summerlin
I meant to play a round a couple of weeks back, as a quarantine distraction.
So here we are today:
2020 Quarantine Invitational, from TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada.
I randomly chose 4 golfers from PLAAY’s fictional 2017 Pro National Golfers set.
Results:
Somers and Weber were tied after the 16th, still tied after the 17th, and a birdie on the 18th by Weber gave him the win.
Such excitement!
*golf clap*
Not sure when the next golf match will be, though next month is the second annual John Price Invitational.
Stay tuned!
Strat-O-Matic: ’62 Giants vs. ’54 Giants
I went back to the roots of my recent table top sports hobby, and played a game with Strat-O-Matic Baseball.
PepsiCo Park was originally constructed from inspiration I found online for Strat-O-Matic players’ dice tower/trays, yet I played very few SOM games with this park, after getting into a plethora of other baseball games, most notably Ball Park Baseball.
I had planned to do a mini-replay/project with 6 teams: 4 Giants, 1 Yankees, 1 Mets.
So here is a game with the 1962 Giants against the 1954 Giants.
Final from the Polo Grounds:
A real pitcher’s duel until the bottom of the 8th. I may have left O’Dell in too long, yeah?
I don’t know how often I’ll play this project, I haven’t even come up with a schedule.
Stay tuned!

Final from Bramall Lane:
Heung Min Son scores the equalizer late in a long stoppage time.
This was a great match to play. I got just as excited as if it were a real goal by Son in a real match.
Next match is at home against Everton FC.
Stay tuned!

2019-20 EPL: Spurs Match 30
Stone Mountain Press has released a set for Dice United based on the English Premier League, as of the COVID-19 shutdown.
The call it the Pandemic Edition.
I’m going to play out the rest of Spurs’ season, and maybe the other teams in contention at the top, aside from Liverpool.
I should also play the bottom table teams, to see who gets relegated.
Hmmm, maybe I should just play out the season? We’ll see.
For now, here’s the results of the March 15th unplayed match between Spurs and Man U.
Final from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:
Yep, this is pretty much what I was expecting, based on how Spurs has performed this season.
Next up: Spurs vs. West Ham United.
Stay tuned!
