Mark Braden and Nate Drew

So Nate thought about it and realized the handicap committee had made his original handicap way too high.  In year five of the Calcutta, Nate is bound and determined to at least get to the semis for once.  His new partner is perfect for his game and they are a formidable force to be reckoned with this year - their handicap is right in the middle of the pack.  Good luck Nate and Mark.
