August 17, 2011 – Midweek - Medal Play, Net Score

This month the midweek group fielded 18 players with 17 (3 ladies and 14 men) competing in a Medal Play, Net Score format. It was another fine day for golf with clear skies and 70 degrees at tee time warming to 90 degrees by the end of our rounds. The fairways were the place to be as the rough could be penal in places due to heavy clover hiding balls 3 feet from the short grass. The greens were rolling true and got speedier later in the round.

Shirley Johnson eked out a victory in the women’s flight while Chris Adams and John Hawck won in their respective flights. Chris, by the way, shot a sterling 72 gross, 63 net. I wish I could have been in that group. See below for details. Closest to the pin honors on #17 went to Willard Hart who made it good by sinking his birdie putt on the way to a fine score of 89 (net 67).

Thank you all for playing. Next month’s tournament, starting later now at 9:00 AM on September 20th, will be individual medal play again. Additionally, if anyone is interested in playing a side game of “Last Man Standing”, we could do that at the same time for an additional fee of $1 or $2, winner take all. Let me know soon with your thoughts, pro or con.
