April 5, 2014 - Weekend Group - Individual

 

The Weekenders

The Weekend Group was provided both great weather and course conditions.  One wcould say it as a prefect spring day.  The was an Individual Tournament and the Matchplay Championship (MPC) Qualifier.

Shawn Breakey fired up a new 65 to win the tournament and to place first in the Matchplay Championship (MPC) seating position.  The 2012 MPC Bryan Springer was also on fire as Bryan posted a smooth net 67 and a second place finish.  Steve Ackley also shot a net 67 but lost to a card push, so he is seated in 3rd position.  Return club member Eric Edgar has been playing in both the Midweek and Weekend tournaments and finished in 4th place.  Last years MPC, Greg Leuterio finished with a quiet new 76 and is seated in the 13th position.

Keep an eye out for future MPC post results as matches are played over the next couple months.

Midweek Tournament Director Position Available 2015

 

Midweek TC Bob Thomas

Midweek Tournament Director Position Available

If any of you BCGC “Midweek-ers” have ever thought, “Gee, I think I’d like to run one of these golf tournaments myself,” now is the time. My four years as Tournament Chair are up after this year’s Christmas party, and the Club will need to appoint or elect a new one. Before the call goes out to the entire membership, it would be great to have a volunteer or two from among the Midweek faithful. A rotation of Tournament Directors every year or two is a good way to keep the Club and its members fresh and lively. It is also OK for 2 people to share the Chair duties.

Simply put, the Tournament Chair is responsible for the planning and execution of 10 tournaments in a year. The season runs from February through November including the Club Championship in October, a 36 hole tournament held on successive Wednesdays. Each Chairperson has their own style and preferences and is free to plan the tournaments as they wish. The tournaments can be run with or without computers. It is up to your personal preference. The only requirement other than tournament planning and execution is attendance the board meetings and handing out annual awards, chiefly the Players of the Year and Club Champions, at the annual Christmas party. Those of you interested in this vital position in our Club, please contact me for more info or to answer any questions you may have.

The Tournament Chair position does definitely have its benefits, please contact me for more info on this, too.  Don’t be shy. If you are tempted, but not sure, give me a call and we can discuss your questions, or even work together setting up and running one of the remaining tournaments this year. Of course if you know you want to do this just let me know. We can work it out. The term is for one year, or more, at your discretion.

Let me know if you are interested,

Bob Thomas
Midweek Tournament Chair

March 15, 2014 - Weekend Group - NCGA Sectional Qualifier

TC Dave Schutt holding Court

The Weekend Group competed on March 15, 2014, as the March 8 date was cancelled due to rain.  Even with all the rain, the course played fine, and it was amazing to see it green up real fast from all the rain.

In addition to the our clubs two person best ball, this also was a NCGC Sectional Qualifier.  Long time friends and buddies Dick "Ham" Jones and Steve "Eggs" Ackley finally put together an outstanding display of what some call "Ham & Eggs" by finishing the day with a net 60.  The low score now allows them to move onto the next NCGA qualifier for a change to go on to the final in Monterey.  The score of 60 also placed them in second for the club tournament.

To no ones surprise, two of the clubs most consistently straight hitting players Lonnie Podgoruy and Roy Jeske (along with Bob Benefiel) creamed the field with a blistering 58.  When these wo are on, I am not sure many can beat them.  They both are just too darm good, nice play men! With third place scores of 61,  Rick Pratt (a new comer) and returning member Eric Edgar tied with Wayne "Snake" Urbani and George "Wolf" Yanez.  It took careful review of the back nine to determine the team of Rick and Eric edged out the Wolf & Snake.

The following are the detailed results:

1st - LONNIE PODGORUY & ROY JESKE (58)

2nd - DICK JONES & STEVE ACKLEY (60) 1st NCGA QUALIFIERS

3rd - RICK PRATT & ERIC EDGAR (61)TIE BREAKER B9

4th - GEORGE YANEZ & WAYNE URBANI (61)

5th - RICHARD SANCHEZ & RODNEY DELNERO (62)

6th - BOB RUFF & SHAWN BREAKEY (64)

7th - MIKE TARDIO & JEFF ELMASIAN (66)

8th - TIM RAMIREZ & DAVID LEUTERIO (66)

9th - MARK EDGAR & BOB BENEFIEL (67)

10th - KEVIN GRANDERSON & DANTE DRAKE (67)

11th - GREG LEUTERIO & DAVE SCHUTT (68)

12th - BRYAN SPRINGER & DAVE SPRINGER (68)

Feb 19, 2014 - Midweek Group - Member/Guest Best of Two Balls



LOOK, that guy just drove the 13th green!!!

Thanks to all players and guests for an enjoyable opener to the 2014 season. There were 28 of us in all including 9 women, an all time high. The list also included 7 guests, also high for this club, many of whom expressed an interest in joining our club. This was a two person, best ball tournament, split into two flights.
 

In the A flight, the team of Eric Edgar and guest, Ken Sawitzky, bested Jim Coombs and Keith Felte for first place using a back-nine tie-breaker after both teams, playing in the same foursome, came in at 13 under, 58.  In one of the highlights, Eric Edgar drove the 13^th green, making him only the second to do so in one of our tournaments, to my knowledge! Only two strokes back, the team of Haruo Makimoto and his guest, Lance Clark, came in third on the strength of Haruo’s fine 79, net 65, low net among the men. Keith Felte, Eric Edgar and Greg Fletcher each shot 76, tying for the low gross score.
 

In the B flight, a back-nine tie-breaker was also necessary with the team of Jean Chong and Pat Mar defeating Glen Kinion and Mike McKenna, both teams scoring 10 under 61’s. Coming in 3^rd place, was the team of Barbara Conerly and Marie Hart, with Barbara’s net 64 low among all players. Well done all of you.
 

Dick Carlsen was closest to the pin at both #8 and #17 for the men and Barbara Conerly and Shirley Johnson were closest of the women.
 

13 players participated in the optional skins game with 5 of those scoring 6 skins as follows: Bryan Springer, net 2 on #2; Haruo Makimoto, net 1’s on #5 and #12; guest, James Kimker, net 2 on#7; Mike McKenna, net 4 on #11; and Eric Edgar, net 2 on #16.
 

The weather and course conditions were very nice and it seems that a good time was had by all. Thanks to all players and guests for coming out.
 

Our next Midweek tournament will be held on March 19^th, first tee at 8:57 AM for individual medal play. See you there I hope.

The Weekend Bad Boys!!!

The 2014 Weekend Group started off the season all charged up, after being delayed a week due to rain.  The tournament day's weather provided for a nice day and the course played just a little wet from the previous days of rain but the overall course was in great shape.  Overall, it was tough to beat for a day in February.

We had 3 teams tied for 2nd place with scores of 61. So we went to the tie breaker, which is the lowest back 9 score.  The team of Dante Drake and Kevin Granderson broke the tie with the lowest back score of 29.

 

Third place went to Bob Ruff and Shawn Breakey (2nd for the NCGA Zone) with a back nice score of 31.  And four place went to Bob Thomas and Glen Kinion with a back nine score of 32.
