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.

Ron McKenna and Will Hart battled it out in the Men’s “B” Flight tied at net 70, with Ron coming out on top by virtue of a card match. John Hawck came in third with a nice net 73.

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.

The format was Bingo-Bango-Bongo and I heard some kudos and some complaints so if any of you would like to be heard in this regard, let me know your thoughts and I will consider them all when planning next years' games. For the most part, there were no big winners.

Men's and women's Player of the Year Points will be awarded based on adjusted net scores. I will include a POY standings sheet with next month's recap letter as we will by then by a quarter of the way through the year. Our next tournament will be the 2nd Wednesday, the 13th of April starting at 9AM. I hope to see you all there. Thanks again for playing and for your feedback.
