Our annual Club Championship for the midweek players was held October 9th and 16th with 36 holes of individual stroke play competition. The weather smiled on us for both days with cool morning temperatures warming to the low eighties with clear, calm skies. The course was playing tough with speedy greens and tricky pin positions both days. Many thanks are due to the Bartley Cavanaugh maintenance and pro staff for their hospitality and course conditions all year.
For our lady members, Marie Hart played beautifully on the last round firing a 104-92/196 to earn low gross honors and Barbara Conerly went low in the first round to take low net with a nice 67-75/142. Rounding out the top four, Kuniko Takeuchi took 2nd place in a last round tie-breaker over 3rd place Joyce Makimoto, both shooting 151 and Jean Chong came in 4th with a net of 155.
On the men’s side, Dave Springer
shot a personal best 75 in round one and hung on with a second round 89, 164
total to beat Haruo Makimoto by one stroke to take low gross honors for 2013.
Two other members excelled in round one, Leon Taylor’s 75 and Jim Coombs’ 78.
Fine shooting by all of you. In the low net competition, Jim Coombs shot a
blistering 60 on the first day and followed that with a smooth 72 to take the
low net championship this year with a 132. Ron McKenna followed a 1st
round 70 with an clutch 63 for a 133 total to edge Leon Taylor’s 58-75/133 by
virtue of a last round tie-breaker to take 2nd and 3rd,
respectively. Haruo Makimoto’s 64-70/134 took 4th place and John
Hawck garnered 5th place honors with a steady 69-68/ 137 he can be
proud of. Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, your performance has
earned you all twice the normal Player of the Year points for your positions.
Looking ahead, our final tournament
this year will be held on November 20th, first tee at 9:00 (format
undecided) and our annual Christmas party for members will be held at 6PM on
December 4th. Expect an Invitation to the party shortly, but you can
mark your calendars now for a nice dinner with friends and Player of the Year
awards, Club Champion trophy presentations and lots of more fun to be had. Look
for “Turkey Shoot” tournament invitations in your e-mail around November 1st.
Thanks again to all of you who
participated in our club championship.
