Controversial Trade Takes Place at OOB West
In an effort to curtail his massive and ever-mounting score during the OOB West Mini-golf Tournament in Sherman Oaks, California yesterday, Jeremy Lamb made a controversial trade with OOB West Producer Mike D'Alonzo. Lamb had 15 strokes removed from his score and D'Alonzo agreed to have these strokes added to his OOB Austin score in the fall in exchange for a First Round Draft pick for his golf team in August. The teams are typically randomly assigned, making this an unprecedented trade and could mean sweeping changes to the OOB mini-golf league.
Editor's note: This trade has not yet been sanctioned.
