Results For July 26, 2016

Temperatures were in the 90's and the humidity was off the chart, but all but one person completed the round.  Cold water was in high demand. Ed Davis and Fred Cross were as hot as the thermometer. Ed fired a net 61 while Fred was close behind, having a net 63.

There has been some concern that the prize money has not been equally divided between the three groups. If you look closely at the summary below, you can see how the money winners were divided by A, B, or C. There is an indication to the left of each name.

There were three President's Cup matches completed Tuesday.

Ed Davis defeated Roy Alkire; Jerry Hurst defeated Mike Poling; and Mike Siddall defeated Dave Zoller to move into the semi-finals along with Willis Hughes.

My mistake, Mike Siddall will face Willis Hughes with the winner moving on to face Jerry Hurst in the semis. While the other half of the semi-finals will have Mike Bailey facing Ed Davis.

Also on August 9th we will be having individual play with ABC skins, but there will be a slight change. As an experiment, we will divide the field into thirds. Instead of dividing the field along exact handicap lines, we will divide it into equal portions. This may mean that some people with the same handicaps will be in separate groups. The division will break along with your index number rather than along equal handicaps. Prize money will then be split equally among the three groups. This will be just a test and we can see how the results work out.

I want to mention again, If you have signed up and barring an emergency please don't leave us hanging by being a no show. This creates havoc among the pairings. This caused a log jam after a few holes with threesomes trailing foursomes that they thought were slow. That and the heat caused some tempers to flare. All of it could have been avoided if the players had been present or at least called early enough for us to have made better placement of players.

This coming week we will be having a Texas Scramble which everyone seemed to enjoy several weeks ago.
