The Bag Open Rules Committee met for several hours after the conclusion of the event to discuss Lover Boy's actions. A decision to censure Chicken Legs was drafted and unanimously approved. Lumpy's situation was also reviewed and no disciplinary action was taken due to his obvious incompetence. 

Hours after the completion of the 1999 Bag Open and after an ill advised sudden death putt-off between Jungle and CHOP Thompson, it was brought to the attention of the BO Rules Committee that irregularities on CHOP's scorecard negated several strokes from his score and made Jungle the outright winner.

The day dawned bright and hazy with a few wispy clouds circling ominously overhead.  The four players teed it up at 10:20 A.M. Unknown to any of them, this was to the first Bag Open to go a full 18 holes, after 2 previously unsuccessful attempts at a complete round of "golf".  Jungle made it apparent with his opening blow that he intended to be in serious contention for this year's title by pushing his drive some 178 yards right, narrowly missing the lake bordering hole 1 that is under normal conditions considered out of play.  Opening then with a wonderful double bogey 6, Jungle immediately forged a 1 stroke lead over Slash.  CHOP and Village, somehow forgetting themselves, made par 4 and found themselves trailing by 2 after just 1 hole ! 

Play continued through 3 holes with little change in the leader board, highlighted primarily by CHOP's 210 yard 7 iron play from the elephant grass miles left of 3 fairway a full 60 yards over 3 green.  He compounded his early round errors by then making par 4 on the hole from that unlikely position. Hole 4, the 233 yard, designated 3 iron par 3 followed, and CHOP continued to astound by making the putting surface !  He did, however, regain his senses by 3 kacking it for a fine bogey 4.  Jungle, meanwhile, was all over the place, made an incredible quad 7 and stretched his lead to 4 over Slash and Village and 5 over the ever grinding CHOP.  Both CHOP and Village gained 1 back on the par 5 fifth hole, Jungle and Slash both going temporarily insane and making birdie fours.  This hole proved to be the early turning point of the event as Jungle inadvertently teed off the wrong tee box and skanked his tee ball in the middle of the lake right (generally considered totally out of play).  It was then discovered that we were indeed on the wrong tee box and Jungle was allowed a free shot from the Bag tee.  If the initial water ball had been allowed, the tournament would have effectively been over with Jungle looking at least a double bogey 7 and amassing an insurmountable lead.

During an interlude at the Pro Shop before beginning the back side, it was brought to the attention of the field that Jungle was not imbibing in the generally accepted quantities and a 1 beer penalty drink was accessed on the J Boy before play could continue on to hole 10.  He reluctantly choked down the nectar and play was resumed.  Discussion also resumed on permanently banning Chicken Legs Alexander, the perennial NO-SHOW.  Hole number 10 was designated a 5 iron only hole with all shots to be played with that club including putts. 

On it went through hole 12, Jungle building his lead back to a commanding 4 shots somehow, despite the best efforts of the other 3 Bags.  History was made on number 13 when four tee balls sailed out into the mist, signaling  the beginning of actual completion of 18 full holes of golf.  CHOP and Slash went comatose and nailed tee balls over the lake, Village and Jungle continued to scull their long wands with gleeful abandon.  Slash was unfairly accessed a birdie 4 on this hole and issued a strong protest which was quickly over-ruled. CHOP lost it again on 14, making birdie 4 while the others maintained their positions nicely.  Village in particular had become unresponsive and was likely in a coma at this point. Slash made a valiant effort to get back into it again on 15 by pull hooking his tee ball deep left into an bean field that has always been out of bounds. He was, however, over-ruled again in that new poles had been put into place and had not yet been marked and he had to play from the beans with no additional stokes allowed. This ended Slash's run at the 99 title.  Number 16 was played in it's entirety (of 452 yards) with lob wedges all the way.  Village clawed his way to a brilliant 11 with Chop making a very nice 9, Slash carded 8 and Jungle brought up the rear with 7. This brought about a tie between Village and Jungle, the first time since number 1 that Jungle had been challenged!  The par 3 17th was played entirely with drivers, and Jungle regained a 1 stroke lead over Village with a solid 6.  With just 1 to go the trouble began.  A quick check of the card revealed that Jungle led Village by 1, Chop by 5 and Slash by 6 shots.  Chop made a good move, dumping 2 straight shots into the pond, but it was not enough, despite some "magic pencil" maneuvering on the score card as the official card found Jungle a 1 stroke winner. This was after a ill advised putt-off on the 18th green that was totally unnecessary.  Only Slash and CHOP have yet to taste the sweetness of victory in the Bag Open. Both promise to be in better form for the 2000 Open that is tentatively scheduled for November 18th.
