Brian won the tie-breaker round pretty easily.  I had to give him a hard time for not letting dad win.  Not even on Father&#8217;s Day!<\/p>\n<p>Dad, who is pretty competitive but tries to down play his competitiveness, played another round right after that one.  It was the best rematch ever.  They were head-to-head and toe-to-toe the entire time.  They were only one point apart for the entire game, with one or the other taking turns being in the lead.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of times, Brian would land his ball then dad would knock it off and land his ball and then Brian would knock dad&#8217;s ball off and then dad would knock Brian&#8217;s ball off.
