Hot, Humid, and Hectic

It was hot (Pushing 90), the humidity didn't help, it was hectic getting the scoring done - I had out of town company coming. As a result because of my errors in arithmetic and yours on the scorecard, haste made waste. My apologies to Bob Smith, as well as Willis Hughes team. I miscalculated Bob's net score by 10 strokes in his favor and told him and Willis that Bob had won and Willis team had come in second. Actually the reverse was true. We had one team that did not turn in their scorecard and didn't record their scores in the computer which gave us no choice but to disqualify them. Always make sure that the keeper of your scorecard records your scores in the computer and hands them in to be counted.

The heat really got to Ed Davis causing him to play only nine holes. Hope he is feeling better. Listed below are several sheets of individual detail. The net team standings (those hole scores are gross not net) and a skins scoresheet. Congratulations to the team of Willis Hughes, Joe Cross, Denny Cosner, and Ted Mayberry for their winning effort. Second place went tot he team Bob Smith, Dave Fetty, Greg Noland, and Richard Board, 3rd went to the team of Mike Riggs, Ken Grose, Jeff Everett, and Larry Britton; 4th place went to Tim Swarr, Jim Stidham, Jim Kennedy, and Larry Clinton.

Joe Crislip recorded an actual round of 69.

Results of Red, White, and Blue Scramble

There is power in prayer. When I got up yesterday morning it was pouring down the rain. A look at the weather map showed an ominous cloud that stretched all the way to Cincinnati that was moving in a northeasterly direction. At the rate it was moving it looked like it would last all day. All I could think about was apple pies that would turn blue with mold and corn that would be too dried out to eat.  Within 15 minutes, the band of rain had taken a southerly bend and the rain was starting to slack up. Needless to say the rain quit, and though the course was wet, there was no hindrance of play. We had 59 players and the preparation of the food came off without a hitch. We need to appreciate Wittens for the corn, Sams for the pies, ice cream,  hamburgers and hot dogs, and John and Suzette for their help.

The team of Pat Stoneking,  Earl Havens, and Ron Cullen fired a round of 8 under 62 to take first place, they were followed by Randy Walters team of Larry Pfieffer, Ralph Olander, and Bob Leach, third place went to the team of Jim Taylor, Roy Alkire, Bill (Red Tees) Jones, and Ted Mayberry, fourth place Jim (bitch spray) Bussey, Bill Hupp, Denny Cosner, and Larry Britton.  Next week we will play individual with ABC skins and the third round of the presidents cup.

Having trouble posting to the website. Sorry for the delay. Below are the results from Tuesday's round of golf.

President's Cup Results

Jerry Hurst advanced to the semi finals with a win over Dave Zoller. Ed Davis advance to the quarterfinal round with a win Jerry Kern in overtime. Barney Poole advance to the Semi finals with a win over Joe Crislip. Mike Poling moved into the quarters with a win Bob Forbes. Next matches will be held on July 18th Goddard playing Davis and Poling facing off with Warfield to try to move to the semis.

A reminder that there will be no league golf on July 4th. We will be resuming on July 11th with the Red, White, and Blue scramble and the All-American cookout.

 

Lonnie Casto

Lonnie Casto started his round on 18 with a par then hole number 1, so after the turn he was 1 under par. He completed the front with an even par 36. He finished the day with a round of 76 and a net score of 66.

This wasn't the lowest net score recorded, however, as Jack Conlon shot a net 64. There were 4 scores of 66 net by Lonnie, Denny Cosner, Steve Tice, and Ted Townsend.

We had great conditions for 56 golfers with temperatures in the mid 70s. 

The Presidents Cup opening round was held with 15 golfers participating. Jerry Hurst was given the bye as the defending champion. Next week will be the second round. 

There will be no league activity July 4th. We will resume league play July 11th. Our cookout that day will be an all American meal of Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Corn on the cobb, apple pie, and ice cream.

The play that day will be the red, white, and blue scramble.

Rain Out

I thought we could dodge the rain clouds and get todays round in but when I saw Mike Cullen building an ark I knew we were in trouble. Today's round was washed out. If you paid green fees this week, there will be a 9 hole rain check for you. Just ask John. The five dollars you paid for today's game will be carried over to next week.

Just a reminder, the Presidents Cup will start next week. There is an extra signup sheet  just for this contest on the board in the clubhouse. If you are not familiar with the Presidents Cup it is a match play tournament that fits in with our regular events.

See you next week.

Results For 6/6/2017

Golfers enjoyed a perfect day on the course. The four man 2 best ball format seemed to be very appealing for Roger Goddard. Roger was the "A" player for the fourth place team of himself, Ron Cullen, Mike Hayden, and Larry Byers. Then he was a blind draw replacement for Willis Hughes and with his scores, that team comprised of Fred Cross, Bill Gaven, and Earl Havens finished in first place with a 26 under par round of 114.

We also welcomed 2 new members in Steve Tice and Ted Townsend.
