August 20, 2014 - Midweek Group's Tournament

 
 
On August 20th, 23 members got together at Bartley Cavanaugh for fun and the challenge of golf. The weather had pleasantly warmed, to the mid-80’s, by the time we finished and the winds were mild with only intermittent gusts.

In the Men’s A Flight, Kent Flewellyn showed the way with a nice 81, net 62. Welcome back Kent! Leon Taylor and Jim Coombs battled their way into a second place tie with a pair of nifty 81, net 63’s. And welcome back to Leon also, having spent half the season recovering from back surgery.


In the Men’s B Flight, one of our newest members, Tim Waits, bested long time member John Hawck in a tie-breaker for first place, shooting a smooth 88, net 65 to John’s 94, net 65. In third place, close behind was Mike McKenna with a 90, net 66 that was a pleasure for me to witness. All three were great rounds for these men.

In the Ladies’ Flight, Pat Mar continued her improvement with a 91, net 61 for first place. Joyce Makimoto and Kuniko Takeuchi rounded out the top 3 with net 71 and 72, respectively. Fine shooting by all our winners in the medal play contest.

The Closest to the Pin contest finished as follows:
A Flight: #8, Ray Alldritt, 9’-10", #17, Leon Taylor, 17’-3” (birdie)
B Flight:#8, Bob Thomas, 19’-10” (birdie); #17, Don Sperling, 10’-3” (birdie)
Ladies: #8, Kuniko Takeuchi, 21’-4”; #17, Barbara Conerly, 27’-3”

There were 12 members in the optional net skins game, resulting in 7 skins as follows:
Dave (deuces wild) Springer scored 2 skins with net twos on both #1 and #2. Bob Thomas had a 2 on #7 and a net 1 on #8. Haruo Makimoto had a 2 on #9, Glen Kinion had a 3 on #15 and Don Sperling took a skin with a net zero on #17.

Thanks to all who played and congrats to all you winners. Hope to see you all again at our next tournament on Wednesday, September 17th. And looking ahead, our Club Championship for the Midweek Group will be held on two successive Wednesdays in October, the 8th and the 15th. Please mark your calendars now for these next 3 rounds.
