January 18, 2014 - Second Annual Ice Breaker

 

Second Annual

 

Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Club + Land Park Ladies Golf Club

 

On January 18, 2014, the 20 Land Park Ladies Golf Club teamed with 40 Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Club members to play in the Second Annual Ice Breaker. The format is Devil Ball with a 3 Person Scramble. The golf course was in amazing shape and once the frost melted away, the weather left us an incredible day to play some golf. Who would ever think short pants in January?

 

 

For the second year in a row, every team competed like this was the Ryder Cup, there was hooping and cheering all over the course.  I think all the contestants would agree this is one of the most fun tournaments ever played and most nerve racking tournaments ever played!

 

 

Each team was made up of two members from each club, and 10 teams competed in two tournaments in one, the Devil Ball and the 3 Person Scramble. The penalty for losing the Devil Ball is a $2 donation.  Edwin Dong was the most generous in this group, losing all three Devil Balls.  Also, a special thanks to Edwin for sponsoring the 8^th hole CTP awards.

2013 Christmas Party and Award Presentations



2013 BCGC Board of Directors
Will, Bob, Bob, Santa, Jeri, Barbara, Marie, Pat and Don

Pat Mar, Marie Hart and Will Hart have put on another amazing Christmas Party for our membership on December 4, 2013.  The food was delicious and the conversation was delightful.  We even had a special guest appearance by Old Saint Nick.

Marie says: "Over here Will, I see someone who wants more raffle tickets."

Bob Benefiel and Bob Thomas provided a recap of the tournament season and presented the Championship Awards:

Jim Coombs and Dave Springer
Midweek Club Champions

Marie Hart and Barbara Conerly
Midweek Club Champions

Bob Benefiel and David Leuterio
Weekend Club Champions

The "Winning" Leuterio Family
David: Club Champion, Greg:  Match Play Champion & Player of the Year - Weekend

President, Mark Edgar provided a overview of the club and the following are some of his highlights:

As president, his Top 5 indicators of a healthy club are:

Board of Directors: Is the Board of Directors stable?  Yes, it is stable.  Many board members have held positions since the beginning of the club.  And he encourged anyone wanting to join the next board to step up and let the current board know.

Membership:  Is the membership going up or down?  Our membership is up 16% from 82 in previous years to 95 in 2013.  (27 New & 68 Returning)

Tournament Participation:  Is tournament participation trending up or down?  Both the Midweek Group and Weekend Group tournament participation is up from previous years.  From a membership perspective, he notes players are enjoying each others company after the matches are over and strong attendance at the annual Christmas Parties, both are signs of a healthy club.

Finances / Budget: Are we finacially strong?  Yes, we are forecasting to land the budget where we started the year, right around $1,000. This has been our goal for the last 5 years and we have been successful in doing so.

Membership Participation:  Are members having fun and enjoying their time spent at the club?Yes, from a membership perspective, he notes players are enjoying each others company after the matches are over.   As a matter of fact, many members continue to have pick up games outside of scheduled tournament dates.  Plus we have a strong attendance at the annual Christmas Parties, all are signs of a healthy club and members are having fun. 

Mark then talked a golf:

Freeport Cup:  In June, BCGC won it's 5th Freeport Cup Title, now tied with Grips Fast (5), followed by Land Park & Bing Maloney (1 each)

Bing Maloney:  Bing has expressed interest in combining some weekend tournaments with BCGC to increase tournament participation during 2014.

Land Park Ladies:  During 2013, we joined the ladies for a Ice Breaker Tournament last January and plans are in the works for another ion January 18, 2014.

Kathy Leuterio was kind enough to take more than 150 pictures from the event. You can follow this link to see pictures that night: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AZMmzhu5buFNXI. Thank you Kathy.

Happy Holidays Days and Cheers to All!

November 20, 2013 - Midweek Group Tournament Results

Well, I guess it had to happen. They say “into every life a little rain must fall” and that’s what happened to the Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Club’s Midweek Group at our 2013 Turkey Shoot. We had 29 members signed up for an event with great prizes for everyone and instead it rained all the previous day and through the night. Tournament day was overcast and misty and the course was open but “cart path only” was in effect. This of course is not doable for some of our group and the cold, damp weather promised to be no fun for others of us.

Fortunately, after a nice breakfast shared with 16 members, 12 decided to try our luck and were rewarded with pretty good conditions for 18 holes. I didn’t even need the extra towel I brought to keep the seat in the cart dry!

The McKenna Brothers (Mike & Ron)

The format for this tournament was a Stableford Points game. In the Men’s B Flight, Mike McKenna turned in the performance of the day firing his all-time best BCGC round of 91, net 67 and scoring 32 points to come in fist place. It was fun to watch with two net eagles! Bob Thomas and Ron McKenna took second and third place honors with 22 and 16 points, respectively.

 

In the Men’s A Flight, Dave Schutt came out with the win shooting a beautiful 83, net 67 scoring 30 Stableford points. Haruo Makimoto came in second with 26 points (85, net 68) and Jim Coombs was third with 25 points (88, net 69). And in the Women’s Flight, Joyce Makimoto and Kuniko Takeuchi tied with 14 points each.

There was a "Closest to Pin" competition held at hole #’s 5 and 17. At #5, Mike McKenna (39’-8”) and Dave Springer (11’-7”) took the honors for their respective flights. At #17, Bob Thomas (23’-9”) and Jim Coombs (12’-6”) won their flights.

We also had an optional skins game with 7 golfers scoring 6 net skins: Mike McKenna’s eagle 2’s at #9 and #16; and birdies by Haruo Makimoto at #1, Dave Springer at #6, Thomas at #10 and Dave Shutt at #13. Good shooting all of you on a cold, dreary day made fun by golfing with friends.
