Oct 10 & 17, 2012 Midweek Group - 2 Day Club Championship

Thanks to all of you for playing in our Midweek Group's Club Championship Tournament. It was a 2 round affair held on consecutive Wednesdays and concluded yesterday, October 17th. Both rounds were held under beautiful weather conditions with temps in the 70's, fair skies and little wind. The first round found the greens smooth and true with average speed but there was a big difference in the last round with the greens much faster.

Speed of the greens was no problem for Jim Coombs (85-85--170) who even chipped it in from a nasty spot on the hill left of #14 on his way to the Men's Low Gross title. Willard Hart backed up his torrid 62 first round with a nice 68 in the final on his way to a smooth 130 total to become the Men's Low Net Champion for 2012. Mike McKenna (68-65--133) and Leon Taylor (71-65--136) took second and third Low Net for the men.

For the ladies, Barbara Conerly's 195 and Marie Hart's147 took Low Gross and Low Net honors for this year's Championship.

In the closest to the pin contest, the winners were: Marie Hart, 3-10" at #5, Glen Kinion, 14'-6" at #8, Doug Swann, 5'-7" at #12 and Marie Hart, 2'-9" at #17.

9 players in the optional skins game accounted for only 7 skins as follows: Mike McKenna (#'s 5 & 12), Dave Springer (#'s 8 & 17), Myron Dahl @ #9, Ron McKenna @ #10, and Jim Coombs @ #14. Good Shootin' by all.

So, after all of that, the four winners of this year's Club Championship will be crowned at the Christmas Party planned for December 5th, and their names will be engraved on the perpetual trophies on display in the clubhouse foyer display case. Congratulations to all the winners and my personal thanks to all who competed. Great job!
