May 18, 2011 Midweek Group Individual

Well Mother Nature tried to discourage the Midweek group again with another rainstorm right up until our first tee time. But then the rain stopped and 12 stubborn BCGC golfers were rewarded with clearing skies, gentle breezes and just a few puddles on the first few holes. We went off with two medal play flights, and one twosome with no handicaps yet playing Bingo-Bango-Bongo. We also welcomed two new members we hope to see more of: Chris Adams and Ed Fierro.

There was a lot of good natured griping put out by the Flight playing from the gold tees (they usually play from the blue) but it did not seem to bother Doug Swann much since he recorded an nice 85 (gross) score, followed by Bob Thomas with a net 69. Mark Edgar played a nice shot to 23’-7” from the gold tee to win CTP at #12. I think all agreed it turned out to be a great day for golf. The fairways and temperatures were fair, the rough was tough and the greens were rolling true.

Mark your PDA for the next tournament on June 15 - SKINS.

May 7, 2011 Weekend - 7.5.3.1

It was a beautiful day on the golf course, little cool in the morning but then warmed up for some good golfing!

The format was 7-5-3-1 which means within each group you had an opportunity to score up to 7 points. If you won that hole you would score 7, if you came in second you scored 5, and etc. Some teams came down to the wire, some did not (I might be talking about my foursome) Dave Springer tore it up out there…played awesome golf!

In Group II, Mark Edgar also put a solid round together to out point both George Yaney and Wayne Urbani. George might have beat mark, but somehow kept ending up in some extra rough. On hole 13, it took him 3 hits to get the ball out of the rough.

And in Group III, Glen Kinion won hands down by hitting strong drives with his Cobra.

Here were the standings by group:

GROUP I
Dave Springer: 105 points
Bob Volk: 94 points
Kim Volk: 71 points…see what I mean?

GROUP II
Mark Edgar: 96 points
George Yanez: 89 points
Wayne Urbani: 85 points

GROUP III
Glen Kinion: 92 points
Bob Thomas: 81 points
John Hillerman: 72 points
Dick Jones: 49 points (What happened here? A restricted Index)

Closest to the Pin:
Hole #8 John Hillerman: 5’-6” feet
Hole #12 Glen Kinion: 28’-0” feet

Weather Conditions: Cool to warm , clear skies

Course Conditions: Excellent

Great tournament guys! I am off to Italy and will miss the next tournament on June 5 - SKINS but hope to see everyone next time!

Hit ‘em straight! Ciao!
