Results of the July Poll Question: What’s your favorite golf side game?

Well, Dear Readers, your responses to the July Poll Question confirm that collectively, we are quite the group of degenerate gamblers.  However, our preference for how we lose money to our friends is as varied as all the games available on a Las Vegas casino floor.
