July 17, 2013 - Midweek Group Tournament Results

This month, 24 members teed off in our Wednesday group's 7/17 tournament under cool, clear skies with a slight breeze. Starting at 7:30 during the summer, we all finished by 1 PM, playing net stroke play on a course looking real good; not really showing any effects from the recent hot spell.

Speaking of hot, Glen Kinion shot a really nice 88, net 64, to take first place honors in the Men's B flight. Bob Thomas and Will Hart followed that with net 70 and 71, respectively.

In the Men's A flight, Dick Carlsen shot a net 66 with his round of 75, which was also the low gross for our group. Ray Alldritt, Jim Coombs and Greg Owyang filled out the rest of the winning slots in Men's A, netting 66, 70 and 71, respectively. Greg needed a back nine tie breaker to beat Haruo Makimoto who also netted 71.

In the Ladies flight, Jean Chong edged out Barbara Conerly, via back nine tie-breaker to grab first place. After Barbara, Marie Hart's net 73 took third by beating Shirley Johnson's 73 with the tie-breaker.

In the Closest to Pin competition, at hole # 8, Ron Glick won for Men's A flight with a shot of 17'4". Bob Thomas took the prize for Men's B group at 10'1" and Jean Chong was looking good for the ladies (well, OK, for all of us) getting it to 2'8". Good shooting all of you.

In the optional net skins game, there were only 4 skins among the 9 contestants. Ray Alldritt on #6; Ron McKenna on #10; and Bob Thomas scored two, on #15 and #16. All of these skins were net 2's.

Our next tournament is scheduled for August 14th, first tee at 7:27 AM. First come, first served, for 28 positions. Let me know. The format will be the same as this month. Hope to see you all there,

July 13, 2013 - Weekend Tournament Reults

Before I get into reporting the results of the BCGC Individual Net Weekend Tournament, I’d like to pass along kudos to the superintendent and maintenance staff of Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Course.  In my opinion, the greens at Bartley were in the best condition that I’ve ever seen.  The greens were smooth and fast. Well-struck, full shots into the greens held.  And chips shots bounced, checked, and ran-out true.  Great job guys! 

Speaking of smooth, three golfers in particular played very smooth rounds on Saturday.  Leading the pack was Bob Ruff who shot a gross 81 (40-41) for a first place net 64!  The day wasn’t extremely hot, but Mr. Ruff and his closest competitors sure were!  Running a close second was our Club President, Mark Edgar.  Mark posted gross nines of 39-37 (76) for a net 65!  Hot on Mark’s tail was Tim Ramirez with gross nines of 36-39 (75) for a net 66!  Fourth place went to George "Wolf" Yanez, shooting a terrific 38 on the back nine for a gross 83, net 69. 

 

Complete results are as follows:

                                 Gross    Net 

Bob Ruff                     81        64
Mark Edgar                  76        65
Tim Ramirez                75        66
George Yanez              83        69  (4^th place by match of cards – back nine net)
Greg Leuterio               84        69  (5^th place by match of cards – back nine net)
Wayne Urbani             82        69

Hole #12 – Lonny Podgorny @ 23’-9”. 

Our next tournament is scheduled for Saturday, August 10.  Format will be Individual Stroke Play, Net.  The NCGA Net Amateur qualifier is that day as well.  Entry into the qualifier is optional.  Hope to see you on the 10^th!

June 19, 2013 - Midweek Group Tournament Results

This month we experimented with an earlier starting time for summer of 7:30 and it seemed to work well. All five foursomes finished by noon as the temperature rose from 60* to 85*. The skies were clear with only a slight breeze blowing just enough to keep us cool. The course is in fine shape with Morton Golf watering heavily at night and paying special attention to dry-spot locations from past years.

The game this month was a two-man team, best-ball net stroke play tournament. Coming in first place was the team of Jean Chong and Pat Mar with a nifty 89, net 61 round. Second place was secured (as determined by a card match of the last 6 holes)by Jim Coombs and Leon Taylor with a 77, net 62. John Hillerman and Dave Travis earned 3^rd place honors also shooting 77, net 62. Finishing out of the money, but getting fifth place P.O.Y. points was the team of Bob Thomas and Dave Springer.

In the optional net skins game, 7 participants scored 11 skins as follows: Roy Fukushima, 2 at #’s 1 & 6; Bob Thomas, 2 at #’s 3 & 17, Haruo Makimoto at #9; John Hillerman, 3 at #’s 10,12 & 15; Dave Travis 2 at #’s 13 & 14; and Dave Springer at # 18.

In the closest to pin competition:
Kuniko Takeuchi won for the ladies with 16’-4” followed by Barbara Conerly at 27’-2”.
For the men, John Hawck led the way at11’-1”, just ahead of Leon Taylor’s 12’-5”.

Congratulations to all of our winners; thanks for playing. And thanks, too, to first time midweekers Alldritt, Hillerman, and Owyang. Welcome!!

Our next tournament, flighted individual stroke play, will be on July 17^th, first tee time at 7:00AM as more hot weather is forecast. Hope to see you all there.

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.
