One Club & Putter

A great turn-out and perfect weather for golf showed up on Sunday afternoon! We had 16 players using 5 irons, 6 irons, 8 irons, drivers, I even saw with my own eyes a highly respected member use a putter to drive with!!! In the end, we had four people tied at 31. In sudden death play-off, Chris Blum managed a par on the first hole and won the tournament with a large gallery looking on from the club house deck. It was a great day!

Twilight League!

With new handicaps in the book, nine players who recognized a good night for golf...and were not afraid of the gray sky....had a great time as three teams of three. It was perfect weather!

Notice: Don't forget to record ALL your rounds in the book on the counter...that's the only way we can get meaningful handicap ratings.

See you all at the One Club and a Putter Tournament on Sunday. Should be great fun!!

Board meeting following golf.

President's Cup Champion!

In a match that pitted the consistent, effortless strokes of a master against the decidedly mediocre efforts of an old man, John Jacques emerged as the 2011 Presidents Cup Champion today. Congratulations to John...and really to all who participated. This was a great tournament, with a good turnout, and lots of good laughs. I have it on good account that the loser of the final match (4 and 3) retained his sense of humor and plans on giving it his all once again in the Club Handicap in August...after all...he killed the king before he went down to defeat at the hands of John!
Next tourney is this Sunday...One Club and a Putter...read the description on line if you are unfamiliar with the concept.
Also, the board meets following the tourney and will discuss, among other issues, the Lady's Day controversy. Public is invited and if you have an opinion, show up and give it...or forever hold your peace.

Great Golf!

What a great evening on the course! Fifteen (15) players made five perfect teams of three. Butch was closest to the pin and David Allen only had ten putts! I can't remember who the winning team was...remind me David! We all had a great time. Think of it this way...If you had been there...it would have been four teams of four!
The finals for the Presidents Cup have been scheduled for Tuesday at 10:15 A.M. Gallery tickets for this event are FREE this year! I'm going to be there!
The course is in the best shape that I've ever seen it in. It's truly beautiful!

FINALS!

Well...Bob and Chris met and traded holes until one last put on the last hole made the difference. Too close! Bob won and will face John Jacques who handed Les a bit of a shellacking.
We had a great conversation with the ladies who showed up for Ladies Day. They still want the morning to be theirs...and they are quite adamant about that! So Verlie is going to get the email addresses and try to get the numbers up. We know there are several of you who are interested but don't know the particulars. There have been ladies playing out there on the "good" Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30. Join 'em! (If you're a lady!)
I'd love to have some communication right here on the blog...so talk if you will...and I'll try to talk back...or get others to discuss things
See you all Thursday evening!

Updates!

OK...so it was sort of wet out there on Sunday...and only a few of the very brave showed up...I was not one of them. It's my understanding that all five played a round together and had a very good time, but it was NOT the Flag Day Tournament. We'll have to wait until next year for that. The tournament has been scratched.
The President's Cup has come down to the semi's after some hard fought battles. It will be Chris Blum and Bob Richardson in the top bracket and John Jacques and Les Demmons in the bottom bracket. These should be good matches...best place to watch is on the porch! I'll post it if I find out the times.
Next tournament is One Club and a Putter on the 26th. That's a good one, full of good laughs and a few great shots.
See you all on a sunny Thursday evening.

Flag Day

Flag Day this Sunday at 1:30. This is a really fun event and we hope to see a record turnout. It's good to see that the membership of this blog is getting bigger! Terrific! Perhaps this will work. The President's Cup continues...we've seen a hole-in-one AND the current champion was dethroned this morning (by yours truly!) I will be missing Flag Day for personal reasons and will miss the good time that will be had by all. If anyone out there doesn't know what flag day is, read my email to you...or check out the web site! It's all there!!

GREAT WEATHER

It's about time we got great weather for golf! Tonight is twilight league...be there by 5:45 so that we can start by 6:00. Also, it's the last chance to get on the President's Cup list. We hope to get at least 16 people for a full bracket. It's lots of fun, so come on in and sign up! The tourney starts at 9:00 on Saturday (or Sunday if you can't make Saturday).

Golf Site

I've found a good web site for golfers like me. http://www.revolutiongolf.com/ It has a lot of free videos that give good advice. Then, if you want to part with a few bucks, you can log in and get some expensive information. I've already profited from some chipping instruction and some grip suggestions....not that it will make any difference in the President's Cup this weekend. Let me know if you think this is a good site.
