August 20, 2014 - Midweek Group's Tournament

 

 

On August 20th, 23 members got together at Bartley Cavanaugh for fun and the challenge of golf. The weather had pleasantly warmed, to the mid-80’s, by the time we finished and the winds were mild with only intermittent gusts.

In the Men’s A Flight, Kent Flewellyn showed the way with a nice 81, net 62. Welcome back Kent! Leon Taylor and Jim Coombs battled their way into a second place tie with a pair of nifty 81, net 63’s. And welcome back to Leon also, having spent half the season recovering from back surgery.

In the Men’s B Flight, one of our newest members, Tim Waits, bested long time member John Hawck in a tie-breaker for first place, shooting a smooth 88, net 65 to John’s 94, net 65. In third place, close behind was Mike McKenna with a 90, net 66 that was a pleasure for me to witness. All three were great rounds for these men.

In the Ladies’ Flight, Pat Mar continued her improvement with a 91, net 61 for first place. Joyce Makimoto and Kuniko Takeuchi rounded out the top 3 with net 71 and 72, respectively. Fine shooting by all our winners in the medal play contest.

The Closest to the Pin contest finished as follows:
A Flight: #8, Ray Alldritt, 9’-10", #17, Leon Taylor, 17’-3” (birdie)
B Flight:#8, Bob Thomas, 19’-10” (birdie); #17, Don Sperling, 10’-3” (birdie)
Ladies: #8, Kuniko Takeuchi, 21’-4”; #17, Barbara Conerly, 27’-3”

There were 12 members in the optional net skins game, resulting in 7 skins as follows:
Dave (deuces wild) Springer scored 2 skins with net twos on both #1 and #2. Bob Thomas had a 2 on #7 and a net 1 on #8. Haruo Makimoto had a 2 on #9, Glen Kinion had a 3 on #15 and Don Sperling took a skin with a net zero on #17.

Thanks to all who played and congrats to all you winners. Hope to see you all again at our next tournament on Wednesday, September 17th. And looking ahead, our Club Championship for the Midweek Group will be held on two successive Wednesdays in October, the 8th and the 15th. Please mark your calendars now for these next 3 rounds.

July 16, 2014 - Midweek Group's Tournament

 

Twenty-Two members got together at Bartley Cavanaugh for our July tournament. It was very warm, 90 degrees by the end, but not bad considering Monday had been 106! And a moderate breeze blew most of the day to cool us even more. There were some wet spots in the fairways due to the required heavy watering during the early morning hours, but the greens were fine.

In an effort to provide more chances to win prizes, the format was set to award all flights with 3 places for front 9 and back 9 net scores, plus low total net and gross. Big winners were as follows: For the ladies, Pat Mar won low net front (32, low net back (37), low net total (69) and low gross (94). Very impressive.

For the Men’s A flight, Garry Lowe was the big winner with his best round to date at Cavanaugh: 2nd low net front (33), low net back (29!) and low net total (62). Dave Springer picked up 3rd low net front (33), 2nd low net back (30), and low gross (79) to rack up the next best winnings total. For the Men’s B flight, Ron McKenna showed the way firing a nifty net 32/35 (67) to pick up 1st and 2nd on the front and back 9’s and low net to boot. Glen Kinion’s 33/35 earned 3rd and 1st on the two 9’s, and his 91 was the low gross. The final tally for the stroke play game was 12 of 22 players in the money.

In the closest to the pin competition, Jean Chong was closest on both with 9’0 on #5 and 27’3 at #17. In the Men’s A group, Greg Fletcher got to 5’-5” on #5 and Haruo Makimoto was 20’-1” at #17. Manny Jauregui’s 25’-0” and Tim Waits’ 34’-11” took the prize for Men’s B at #5 and #17.

Lastly, in the optional net skins game, Jean Chong’s one on #5, Tim Waits’ 3 on #4, Bob Thomas’ twos on #10 and #18, Haruo’s 3 on #11, Don Sperling’s one on #12 and 2 on #13 and Dave Springer’s 2 on #14 and one on #17 totaled 9 skins for 13 participants.

All said and done, 16 of the 22 members playing today won something, including two first time winners. Congratulations to you all. Thanks for playing, I hope to see you all at our next event, August 20th starting at 8 AM again.

June 18, 2014 - Midweek Group's Tournament

 

Thanks to all of you who were able to come out on a pretty nice day for golf. I think we started early enough to beat the PM heat, and there was a slight north breeze that had a cooling effect. So after accounting for the loss of some regulars due to injuries, surgeries, vacations and other conflicts, 21 members showed up and seemed to have a good time.

In the Men’s A flight, longtime member, Kent Flewellyn started to find his game after a long hiatus firing a nice 88 for net 67 and first place. By virtue of a back-nine tie-breaker, Haruo Makimoto came in second with an 85/67. Third place went to Jim Coombs’ 87, net 68. Out of the money, but picking up P.O.Y. points, were Greg Fletcher (78/69) and Bryan Springer (82/70). First place honors in the Men’s B flight went to Mike McKenna who shot a really sharp 90, net 65, followed closely by Will (new driver) Hart’s 89/66, and Glen Kinion’s 91/67. Tim Waits’ net 68 and Ron McKenna’s net 71 picked up the last P.O.Y. points.

For the Ladies’ flight, Kuniko Takeuchi came in first with a nice net 70, followed by Jeri Fong’s net 74, Marie Hart’s net 76 and Linda Wark came in fourth to pick up the final P.O.Y. points. Good shooting, all of you.

In the closest to pin competition, at the 8th hole, for the A, B and Ladies’s flight, respectively, Gary Haack, 19’-9”; Bob Thomas, 8’-4”; and Kuniko Takeuchi’s 11’-11” were winners. Similarly, for hole #17, Jim Coombs, 3’-2”; Don Sperling, 10’-4”; and Kuniko Takeuchi’s 9’-0” were the winners.

And in the optional net skins game, there were 11 participants scoring only 6 skins as follows: Bob Thomas’ 1 at #8 and 2 at #15, Dave Springer’s 3 at #9, Mike McKenna’s 2 at #16, Don Sperling’s 1 at #17 and Myron Dahl’s natural birdie, net 2 at #18. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who played.

Hope to see everyone back for our next event on July 16th at 8:00 AM.

April 16, 2014 - Midweek Group - Individual

 

Midweek Group Chill'in

Spring has sprung! 23 members were treated to a beautiful day on our golf course. By tournament day, April 16th, nine or ten days had elapsed since the greens were aerated and sanded so conditions were pretty good. Good enough, in fact, for 11 of the 23 players to score in the mid to high 60's, net.

Eleven men in the A Group were led by Greg Fletcher (75, net 65). There were 4 tied for second low net at 66: Dahl, Kipp, Haack and Coombs. Three of these were awarded prizes based on a card match of holes 10-12: Myron Dahl, 2nd place (84/66), Sam Kipp, 3rd (76/66) and Gary Haack, 4th (84/66). The card match between 3rd and 4th place went all the way to the 18th hole before a determination could be made, a first in my experience in the last 4 years. Congratulations to you all.

The men’s B Group (8 players) was competitive too. There was a 4-way tie for first place at net 68: Lowe, R. McKenna, Hart and Thomas. Garry Lowe (89/68) was determined to be the 1st low net by virtue of the same tie-breaker. Ron McKenna (98/68) was 2nd and Will Hart (92/68) took 3rd place.

For the four Ladies in the competition, Kuniko Takeuchi was low net at 71, and Jean Chong came in 2nd at net 74.

In the Closest to the Pin competition, Greg Fletcher and Will Hart were closest of the two men’s groups at #8 while at #17, Dave Springer and Glen Kinion were closest for the men and Marie Hart was the class of the women.

In the optional Net Skins game, 15 participants scored only 3 skins: Ron McKenna’s 2 at #10, Garry Lowe’s 2 at #14 and Jean Chong’s net ace at #17. Good shooting, all of you. By the way, if there had been a gross skins match between the same participants, there would have been four: Two by Eric Edgar at #4 and #15, Hart at #8 and Lowe again at #14.

Thanks to all of you for coming out. Our next tournament is scheduled for May 21st, first tee at 8:30 AM.
