Results of September 27th

Sorry this is late. Between Doctor's appointments, meetings, church, and worn out tires minutes have been precious.

Here are the results of league day.

Also this is an urgent plea for golfers to come to the Senior Challenge tomorrow. If we have 8 players and the other courses have less than 8, we will reverse the disqualification we suffered at Oxbow last month and win the 2016 championship. So if you have signed up please come to Woodridge tomorrow.

Help Wanted to Fix Tees at GCWV

Denny has volunteered to bring a machine to do the rototilling and smoothing of the tees. A tentative date has been set for next Wednesday September 28th, but help is needed. If you are able to help, it will be greatly appreciated!

SMGA Low Gross/Low Net Championship

Congratulations to Randy Walters the league low gross champion with a score of 73 and to Barney Poole our low net champion with a net score of 61. Well deserved.

We also recognized Bill Jones, Bill Dunn, Banks Smith, Joe Tucker, Denny Cosner, and Jerry Kern for their long and devoted service to the golf league. There are still several men that were not in attendance yesterday that will be recognized at a future time. Thanks men for your service to the league.

2016 SMGA Golf League

Is This July or Miami?

For September 13th it's as hot as late July or have we moved to the sub-tropics. Despite the heat, we had 66 golfers participating in a four man scramble. This was as closely competitive event as we have had. Two teams finished at 11 under par 59's with two other teams one shot behind at 60.

The ties were broken by going backward from 18.

The winning team consisted of Butch Powell, Mike Hayden, Tim Swarr, and Larry Clinton.

Skins were few and far between with only four recorded. Could be caused by the close competition. Each skin paid $8 in cash (see Jerry).

If your name appears on the payout sheet have your green card updated by John.

Sorry For The Delay

I'm Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. There was a glitch in the scoring where I had to verify some scores.

It was a big day on Tuesday, hot as usual. We had 70 golfers and the final round of the President's Cup.

Congratulations to Jerry Hurst for his 4 and 3 final round victory over a very capable runner-up, Mike Bailey.

The foursome of Dave Zoller, Joe Cross, Jim Metcalf, and Ken Grose blew the competition out of the water by a 15 under par 255 for a 13 stroke margin over their nearest competitors. 

I also want to wish Fred Cross  a speedy recovery from shoulder surgery.

Before departing for your starting hole this coming Tuesday, please gather around the first tee for a special ceremony you won't want to miss.

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.
