Amazing September

What an amazing September day. Although a little warm it was perfect conditions for golf.  The scores reflected the conditions as 24 of the 52 players had net scores that were below par.

Jim Taylor found the conditions perfect as he recorded a blazing 8 under net 62.

Next week we will close out our year capped with a steak fry. The menu will be Rib Eye steaks, baked potato, Caesar salad, rolls, with your choice of apple, pumpkin, or pecan pie with ice cream and whipped cream as you choose. It is very important that we have enough steaks for everyone, if you don't sign up to play, at least let me know if you will join us for the meal.

This is a little late posting, but I couldn't get the picture out of my cell phone. Congratulations to Roger Goddard for winning the 2017 President's Cup and to Mike Poling for his runner-up finish.

SMGA Championship

Congratulations to Joe Crislip and Alan Hall for winning their respective SMGA championships. Joe fired an even par 70 to claim the Low Gross Championship, while Alan shot a 6 under par net 64 to win the Low Net Title. Congratulations to each of you.

We had 50 golfers playing yesterday under beautiful and unseasonably warm temperatures.

We have two weeks left for league play. If you haven't been playing or are unable to play, be sure to still come out for our final day on October 3rd and share a steak with us and participate in the annual business meeting.

September 12, 2017 Results

We had 44 golfers participating yesterday in a four man team two best net ball format.

Roger Goddard captained the helm of the hurricane force performance of his other three players. Dave Zoller and Jim Hackathorn each had a net 67 but Alan Hall was a category 9 force with a net 60. The team finished first with a net score of 31 under par 109.

Finishing second was the team of Jim Taylor, Jerry Kern, Ron Warfield, and Bill Packard.

The third place team was Ron Miracle, Don Kern, Jerry Mason, and Jim Metcalf.

Coming in fourth was the team of Jim Bussey, Tom Bobbitt, Jim Kennedy, and Earl Havens.

There was probably a record number of skins as 13 were recorded. There were only 5 holes where skins were not recorded. The winnings will be spread over 50 players and will be worth a major payout of $2 each.

National Champion

I have to take the opportunity to brag a little bit. We went to Colorado Springs after the rainout last Tuesday to watch and support our granddaughter as she competed for a national championship in figure skating.

We expected her to have a respectable standing but we thought a top finish was unlikely.

We never should have had a doubt. She and her skating partner took the first place honors in intermediate shadow dancing. It really wasn't close as she and her partner took  1st place from five of the seven judges. So she is a national champion. 

Tuesday August 29th

We had 53 golfers playing yesterday. 22 golfers shot sub par scores with their handicaps. Joe Crislip shot an actual even par 70 and Roger Goddard shot an actual 73. Ron Warfield fired a net 62 and then questioned another players handicap.

Baked Steak

 Good Morning. Hard pressed for time this morning, so this will be a condensed post. Congratulations to the team of Joe Crislip, Ralph Bickle, Ed Davis, and Jack Jones for finishing first in the scramble with a gross score of 58 netted to a score of 52.05.

There were 51 golfers participating and 60 servings of baked steak steak consumed.

There were 2 skins recorded. One the team of Willis Hughes, Bill Gavin, Pete Depond, and Bob Leach; and one by the team of Jim Bussey, Denny Cosner, Jim Metcalf, and Ken Grose.

Sorry I'm Late With This.

Sorry l'm late posting this, I was sick all day yesterday.

From the chatter and discussions before and after play, one would assume the event was enjoyable.

Some unusual scoring took place. Jim Reynolds fired a sizzling net 61 but finished third in his group because he wasn't able to pick as good of a partner as Jim Bussey and Willis Hughes.

Bussey parlayed his scoring and the ability to make a good pick in Jim Satterfield to card a 62-63 125 for first place in the A group.

Bob Smith shot a net 65 and paired that with his pick of Denny Cosner's net 62 for a score of 127 to win the B group.

Jim Satterfield shot a blazing 63 net and picked Mike Cullen as his partner which provided a net 64 for a total of 127 to win the C group.

We had 51 golfers playing and there were 18 skins.

New handicaps have been posted effective August 15th.

Don't forget next Tuesday will be a scramble with a  cookout. The menu will be baked steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.
