Results of Senior Challenge of Friday August 26th and Results of League Day of August 30th.

Several of you asked about the results from the senior challenge this past Friday. We won the lowest average net score with a team average of 68.428. Unfortunately we were disqualified because we did not have enough players, we had seven and eight were required. Mingo finished at 68.810, Oxbow at 70.933 and Woodridge at 72.000.

We were given 1 point for posting a score with the others receiving 4, 3, and 2 respectively.

Entering Fridays contest, We were tied for first with 6 points, Mingo had 5 and Woodridge had 3. Had we had the required eight players, we would have led going into the final event by 2 points. The current standings are Oxbow and Mingo tied for the lead with 9 points, GCWV with 7 points and Woodridge with 5 points. Had we had the eight players and led by 2 points a third place or better finish at Woodridge would have virtually assured us of the championship. For those that chose not to go because of the course conditions, the course was no worse than GCWV and the greens were much better.

Thanks to those that did attend, and special congratulations to Jack Conlon who had a gross 80 score with a low net for the entire field of 59. Jack also won $22 for a skin on hole number 8. The individual scores are posted on the bulletin board.

So much for spilled milk. We had 63 players yesterday with a payout of $174 and a skins pot of $140.

The skins payouts were very small considering. There were 20 skins sharing the $140 or $7 each. A really large number of skins for the number playing.

Phil Corey and Ron Sinclair shot the lights out with a gross of 58 and 59 respectively.

RESULTS OF AUGUST 23RD SCRAMBLE

Jack Fleming used to say, "It's a great day to be a mountaineer." 

We can say it's a great day to be a golfer at GCWV. Temperatures were mild, sky was blue with scattered clouds, and everyone left with a full belly. We had 66 golfers competing in the four man scramble. It was good to see Mike Hayden back on the golf course even though not yet playing. Mike related to Tim Swarr that he thought he could participate in an upcoming scramble when no one would have to rely on his drive to which Tim responded, "That's what we do now, Mike."

We had three teams finish at 10 under 60. We broke the ties as usual by going back from 18 to determine the winner. The team of Jim Bussey, Pete DePond, Larry Britton, and Ralph Olander emerged in first place followed by second place team of Willis Hughes, Don Kern, and Richard Board, and the third place team of Fred Cross, Larry Clinton, Larry Pfieffer, and Harry Callander. The team of Mike Poling, Ralph Bickle, Olaf O'Dell, and Bill Gavin finished in fourth by one shot at 61.

August 16th 2016 Results

This was the third year for the three clubs and a putter event. Attendance was a little lower but those that played enjoyed the change. Playing this format gives you a chance to experiment with shots you wouldn't ordinarily try. You can learn something to use when you have a full bag.

We had 57 players. The payout was $171 with $114 paid out for 15 skins. If your name appears on the payout list, see John to get your green card credited.

Also enclosed below is a list of the August 15th handicap updates.

Next week will be a four man team scramble with a cookout to follow play. Menu will consist of grilled chicken tenders, stuffing, and sliced tomatoes, and drinks. Don't miss this one.

Also, in case you haven't looked at the bulletin board two events are coming up. Next Friday is the 3rd round of the Senior Challenge at Oxbow. There is a signup sheet on the bulletin board. We need your help in this one, consider playing and signup.

The second event is a road trip to Massillon, Ohio to play the legends golf course on Thursday September 1st. We have tee times for 28 players with 22 now signed up. My information is this is a great course and a real fun trip. That signup sheet is also on the board. 

Texas Scramble Number Two

What a day. It was hot as a Texas afternoon with scores and passions heated as well. Team number 10 with Butch Powell, Denny Cosner, Jerry Mason, and Ken Grose set the fairways on fire with a scorching 49 under par 231. They were followed closely by team number 13 made up of Lonnie Casto, Mike Woodyard, and Phil Corey who melted the flags with a 45 under score of 235.

Passions were hot as well as Hard Hearted Ron Warhoop was selling out his buddy Jim Stidham with cries of "disqualify him." Jim was conceding his drive to the others in the foursome then was hitting a drive that would not count from the silver tees. So much for friendship.  

There were 74 golfers playing with a total payout of $220. $146 went into the skins pool to be split by 8 team skins.

The skins are highlighted in yellow on the following score sheets.
