April 20, 2013 - Weekend Group - 2 Person Best Ball / NCGA 4-Ball Net Qualifier

Dave Schutt and Greg Leuterio
NCGC 4-Ball 2013 Qualifiers

On Saturday, April 20th, the BCGC Weekend “Winded Warriors” braved another windy day! Is it just me, or is everyone getting tired of playing in the north wind? Aside from the fact that hole #’s 2, 3, 6, 11, & 15 play easier in the north wind, I think everyone would be very happy to get back to relatively calm conditions. We’d probably even look forward to playing with the prevailing southerly winds again. We just need a change!!!

Format for the day was Best Ball of Partners. Additionally, it was a qualifier for the NCGA 4-Ball Net Championship for which five of the 12 two-man teams competed. Low twosome for the day was the team of Dante Drake and Kevin Granderson who shot a sizzling 58, hi-lighted by an individual gross score of 86 by Dante! Winners of the NCGA 4-Ball Net qualifier were Greg Leuterio and Dave Schutt who teamed up to shoot a net 61, hi-lighted by an individual gross score of 78 by Greg! Great golf in the wind, gentlemen!

Closest to the pin winners:
#5 – Greg Leuterio – 34’
#12 – Dante Drake – 3’1”

Top finishers in the tournament:
1st Place – Dante Drake/Kevin Granderson – Net 58
2nd Place – Greg Leuterio/Dave Schutt – Net 61
3rd Place – Dave Travis/John Hillerman – Net 62 (Won by match of cards)
4th Place – Shawn Breakey/Bob Ruff – Net 62
5th Place – Steve Ackley/Dick Jones – Net 62

Mark your calendars for the next tournament scheduled for Saturday, May 18th! Format will be Individual Net.

April 10, 2013 – Midweek Group - Net Stoke Play

Thanks to all 29 of you who came out on such a beautiful day for some golf! The skies were clear, the winds were calm and the thermometer rose from 62* to 82* while we were out there. The greens had been aerated and sanded 10 days previously and some were not yet back to prime condition, but yet not too bad either. Should be perfect for our next tournament on May 15th.

The format was straight net stroke play. Prize winners were as follows:

Men's Blue Flight / Men's White Flight / Women's Flight

• Ron Glick, 67(Adj.) /  J. Johnstone, 66 / Barbara Conerly, 69
• Dick Carlsen, 68 / Roy Fukushima, 67 / Shirley Johnson, 69  
• H. Makimoto, 70 / Bob Thomas, 68 / Jeri Fong, 69
• Tom Bell, 70 / Will Hart, 71 / Jean Chong, 70
• CTP #17, Felte, 3'9" / CTP #17, Hart, 3'3" / CTP #17, Conerly, 5'1"

In the optional net skins game, there were 12 players in the pool scoring 9 skins as follows:

Tom Bell, #1 and #16; Bob Thomas, #2 and #18; Roy Fukushima, #6 and #10; Ron McKenna, #9 and #12, Jean Chong, #13.

For you new members I would like to direct you to our club's website: bartleycavanaughgolfclub.blogspot.com. You will find a wealth of club info and photos.

Once again, our next tournament will be at 8:30 am on Wednesday, May 15th. The format will be the same at net stroke play, plus the optional net skins game and closest to pin by flight. Hope to see you there.
