Feb. 13, 2013 - Midweek - Member/Guest

The first tournament of the year for the Midweek Group was held on February 13th under fair skies with calm winds and temperatures in the 60's. Quite a start for this time of year!

We also had a nice turnout for the member/guest ice-breaker with 26 players including 7 new members and 3 guests. Thanks to all of you. In the "A" flight, Dick Carlsen and Leon Taylor teamed for a hard fought victory over the team of Greg Fletcher and Ron Glick. The Fletcher/Glick team started out with eagle/birdie on 1 & 2 on the way to a 34-37-71 (net 66), but the stubborn Carlsen/Taylor team hung on to tie, firing a 35-37-72 (net 66.) The back-nine tie-breaker (using strokes where they fall) was won by Carlsen and Taylor (net 34 to net 35!!) Fine golf by both sides. Third place in "A" flight went to the team of Dave Springer and Divid Rivas with a net 67.

First place in the "B" flight went to the team of Haruo Makimoto and Roy Fukushima with a beautiful round of 36-37-73, net 63. Second place was decided by a last-nine tie-breaker with the team of Jean Chong and Gloria Parrott edging the team of Mike and Ron McKenna as both teams finished with net 66's. For those of you interested in the complete results, I have attached .pdf and .doc files for your use.

Closest to Pin contest on #8 was won by Richard Coakley at 28'-11". Haruo Makimoto was closest to pin on #17 at 9'-3". Once again the course was playing beautiful with firm, green fairways, manageable rough and receptive greens that putted true.

Thanks to you all for participating, especially you new members and those of you who brought guests. The next tournament will be March 13th and will be individual stroke play with scores suitable for posting, as will all ten rounds remaining for the year.

For those of you who can play on weekends, keep an eye out for the next weekend tournament announcement from Bob Benefiel. That tournament will be held March 9th and will count as one of the NCGA qualifiers and it doubles as a qualifer for our own BCGC Match Play Championship.

I hope to see you all next month. Let me know if you have any questions.

Feb. 9, 2013 - Weekend Member/Guest & Member/Member (6-6-6)

The BCGC 2013 Golfing Season opened this morning with a bang, 22 members and guests played in the 6-6-6.  The tournament format was a 2 person team, with flights of member/guest and member/member.  The first six holes were played as a Scramble followed by 6 holes of No Scotch and the last six holes were played as a Best Ball.

Our golf course GM, Dylan Flynn was out on the greens today measuring the speed of the greens, which measured 10.5, a reading of 1.0 faster than a normal and boy could you tell the difference.  I think it took several holes to get use to the faster speed, as putts continued to end up past the hole.  the golf course was in great condition, it was a sunny 60 plus day, with a slight wind out of the north.

The Results:

Mark Edgar and Chuck Richardson
