10th Annual Freeport Cup - June 18, 2011

The 10th Annual Freeport Cup was played at Land Park Golf Course, Sacramento, Ca. Our host golf club this year was Land Park Men's Club. For the last nine years, the team LP sported Hawaiian Shirts. But this attire has only one victory. So this year, the team put their heads together and all agreed on Black Shirts and to support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

GRIPS FAST GOLF CLUB WINS for the 5th time in 10 years. Gary Tinseth worked his magic and the course played very difficult. The weather was perfect, the course was in great shape and everyone had a great time. 12 player form each club: BCGC, BMGC, GFGC and LPGC participated in this years event.
The match came down to the last few groups where GFGC was awarded the Cup with 40.5 points, followed by Land Park Golf Club with 28.5 points, then by Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Club with 27 points, then Bing Maloney Golf Club with 24 points.

June 15, 2011 – Midweek Group - “Skins”

This month the Midweek Group fielded 18 players with 16 competing in a net skins game. It was a beautiful day for golf with clear skies in the mid-80’s and a steady soft breeze blowing most of the day. The course was in fine shape with good roll-outs on the fairways and receptive greens. Only a few spots of casual water remained here and there after the most recent rains.

Myron Dahl collected the most skins (11-1/3) for $21; Bob Thomas earned 9-1/3 skins for $17 and Marie Hart had 9 skins for $18. No golfer went “skinless” so, over all, it was a good day of competition.

Looking at medal play, Ron McKenna and Myron Dahl tied for low net with a pair of 68’s and new member Chris Adams shot a smooth 78 for low gross of the day.

Thank you all for playing. Next month’s tournament, starting at 8:00 AM on July 20th will be individual medal play. I hope we have more nice weather and another nice crowd show up. And more of our lady members please!
