July 7, 2012 - Weekend Group - 7-5-3-1



Even though we played early enough to beat most of the heat, Saturday, July 7 was a hot day and a number of BCGC players were “HOT” as well! The tournament format was 7-5-3-1 (played within the foursome), with 7 points awarded on an individual basis to the low net score per hole, 5 points for second, 3 points for third, etc. A total of 15 players participated in the tournament which was comprised of three foursomes and one threesome.

The player who most dominated their foursome was Bob Volk, who shot a gross 79 and scored 93 points! Other winners within their respective groups were: Dave Springer, who posted consistent nines of 44/44 and earned 80 points; new member Greg Taca who shot his best-round-ever at Bartley with a gross 79! Welcome to BCGC Greg!; and Greg Leuterio, who shot a sizzling 78 gross (29 net on the front nine) and is coming off an outstanding win in Monterey in the Sacramento Zone with his teammates (Dave Schutt, Bob Ruff & Shawn Breakey).

I also want to pass along a Weekend welcome to Jean Chong! Jean normally plays in the BCGC Weekday events and decided to play with us on Saturday. I hope to see Jean at future Weekend tournaments. FYI –Jean is deadly on any putt outside of 10 feet!

I don’t typically report on our results from our side Skins game, however, on Saturday there was a “first”! Yes, I have been running the Skins game for six months now and, for the first time, I won a Skin! Lookout folks, I’m no longer just donating to the pot!! My financial advisor, Michael DePhilippis, (who happens to be my son-in-law, and is a fellow BCGC member) would tell me that I have not had a very good return on investment!


Other tournament results:


Closest to Pin #5 – Kim Volk @ 25’6”. Kim, by the way, is one of four semi-finalists in the Club’s Match Play Championship. Word is going around the club that she may be the one to beat!

Closest to Pin #12 – Lonny Podgorny @ 15’7”. Lonny beat out yours truly by one foot, six-and-a-half inches. I demand a re-measure!!

Our next tournament is scheduled for Saturday, August 11. Format will be Individual Stroke Play, Net. The NCGA Net Amateur qualifier is that day as well. Entry into the qualifier is optional. Hope to see you on the 11th!
