June 20, 2012 - Midweek Group - Skins

Wildlife on the Course

The Midweek June Skins Tournament was played under beautiful conditions, clear skies on a warm and calm day. Three threesomes competed in net skins with carry-overs inside their own group. Leon Taylor (79/65 net) made the most skins (11) in his group, while Bob Thomas (95/68 net, 9skins) and Will Hart (94/72 net, 8 skins) were tops in their respective groups. Dave Springer made 4 of the 9 total skins in the optional side game waged by four competitors.

With such a small group, there was only one flight for P.O.Y. points, all based on net scores as usual. Doug Swann came in first with a beautiful 79/64 net round. After a back-nine tiebreaker, Leon Taylor beat out Haruo Makimoto (82/65 net) for second place. Fourth went to Bob Thomas and fifth place in P.O.Y. points went to Roy Fukushima with a 94/69 net.

Thanks to all who played. Our next tournament is set for July 18th, starting at 8:03 am. Format for July and August will be individual stroke play, flighted as usual.

Hope to see you all there.

May 16, 2012 - Midweek Group - Individual Stroke

The Midweek Group dodged a weather bullet again as we experienced beautiful weather for our May tournament. Warm but not oppressive, slight breeze and dry humidity when some forecasters were saying to expect a high of 94.

Twenty-one members 15 men and a high of 6 ladies, thank you) came out for a medal play, individual net score competition. Trina Millett fired a beautiful 43-38-81, net 69, to win the women's flight, followed by Jeri Fong (70) and Barbara Conerly (74). Men's "A" Flight was won by Jim Coombs with a neat 46-39-85, net 67, trailed by a pair of 71's by Haruo Makimoto, and Myron Dahl. Haruo placed second by virtue of a "back nine" tie-breaker. In the Men's "B" Flight, Willard Hart out-classed the field shooting a beautiful 43-43-86, net 64. John Hawck continued his comeback scoring a nice round of 94, net 65 and Roy Fukushima (66), Don Sperling (66) and Mike McKenna (67) rounded out the prize winning positions, also using the same tie-breaker.

Closest to pin at #12 was Jim Coombs at 16'10" and also at #17 at 2'2". Congratulations to all of our winners and thanks to all for coming out to play. Our next tournament is June 20th starting at 8:03 AM. This will be a skins game played inside each foursome with carry-overs.

April 18, 2012 - Midweek Group - Individual Stroke Play

Bob Thomas - Mid Week Tournament Chair

Thanks to all of you for coming out April 18th. I think it was a beautiful day for golf; clear, warm skies with a gentle breeze and low humidity. The course was in good shape with dry fairways and slow but smooth and true rolling greens.

We had 3 ladies and 14 men competing in 3 flights with the following results: Barbara Conerly was low net in the women's flight with a 67; Dick Carlsen was the class in the men's A flight shooting a smooth 76, net 66 and John Hawck continued his quest toward "most improved" member shooting a net 60! Mike McKenna also turned in a sterling 88, net 62. Nice shooting John and Mike.  Dick Carlsen was closest to the pin on #8 at 7'5" while Leon Taylor (Welcome Back!) got it to 7'3" on #17.

In our optional Net Skins game, Carlsen, Coombs, Schutt and Taylor all had one skin, while Ron McKenna and Bob Thomas both had 2 each.

I have attached details for the tournament, optional skins game and P.O.Y rankings to this email for those interested. Our next Midweek Tournament will be held May 16th, first tee at 8:57 AM. This will be more of the same; individual net stroke play and optional skins game.

2012 Match Play Championship

Here it is!

The long-awaited pairings for the 2012 Bartley Cavanaugh Match Play Championship! The attached bracket (no, NOT the March-Madness Bracket!) reflects the pairings and time-table for completing the matches.

Competitors will have the flexibility of scheduling their respective matches at the most convenient time as long as the match is completed by the noted deadline. I ask that the winner of each match contact me as soon as their match is completed in order for me to update the bracket timely and notify each competitor of who they will face in their next match.


Upon further review (no, this isn't a football replay) I have decided to extend the Match Play Schedule for the following reasons. The weather for the remainder of this week is forecast to be a bit unsettled. The weekend-after-next is Easter Weekend. The following Monday, April 9, is the scheduled day for greens aerification. Given that it will take a couple of weeks for the greens at Bartley Cavanaugh to recover, I have extended the completion date of the first round of match play to May 13th.

Subsequent completion dates for each round thereafter have been extended as well, and an updated Match Play Bracket has been attached for your information. In addition, to facilitate communication between players for scheduling matches, I have included everyone's email contact information as follows:
