I know a few TGIF Members who weren't able to attend the final event. So, here are the final, unaudited (and don't wait for the audit, because there won't be one) results:
Group 1:
1st Place: Arlene and Dave Forsthoefel, Arlene wins $50 pro shop credit
2nd Place: Janet and Dale Lindle, Janet wins $40 pro shop credit
3rd Place: Lina and Wayne Stokes, Cher and Phil Van Houten, Lina and Cher each win $30 pro shop credit
Group 2:
1st Place: Sandy and Jeff Garrison, Sandy wins $50 pro shop credit
2nd Place: Ruth and Jerry Paul, Ruth wins $40 pro shop credit
3rd Place: Debbie Yingling and Randy Lansdell, Debbie wins $30 pro shop credit
Congratulations to all the winners. Have fun in the pro shop spending your credits. And be sure to tell couples who didn't play this year about all the fabulous prizes so they will want to play next year, when the new commissioner sends out the invitation to sign up!
And, get out there and play some golf! The weather is beautiful, course is recovering from the drought, and the restaurant and pro shop needs your money!

Results of Closing Event Scramble
Here are the results of the Closing Event Scramble:
1st: Score, 31. Stu Wilson, Lina Stokes, Kathy Pare, and Janet Kuhn. From what I heard, Stu was hardly a factor but was happy to walk away with the $25 in pro shop credits. Seems Lina Stokes was dropping putts from all over the place and Janet Kuhn was playing so well she didn't want to stop for dinner!
2nd: Score, 32, Won a Scorecard Playoff. Steve Bunn, Jim Downing, Billie Trame and Linda Schiesler. Again, according to Steve Bunn, it was all the ladies, especially on the greens. I saw Billie drop a long birdie putt on #1, and Linda had just dropped one on #9. Each player won $20 in pro shop credit.
3rd: Score, 32. Ben Basone, Dan Gennaro, Doug Taylor, and Sarah Mueller. Don't have any highlights other than that Sarah said she had a really good time with the three guys! Each player won $15 in pro shop credit.
4th: Score, 34, Won a Scorecard Playoff. Jerry Paul, Jay Kuhn, Nancy Downing, and Shirley Smith. No highlights other than Jay is happy to not be playing any more scrambles for a while! Each player won $10 in pro shop credit.
5th: Score, 34. Sandy Garrison, Gary Trame, Mary Ann Wilson, and Kathy Shaut. I heard the entire team played well and got along famously. Each player won $10 in pro shop credit.

Thanks for a Successful Season and Closing Event
Thanks to all O'Bannon Creek Golf Club TGIF members for making the season successful. And, thanks for the generous gift of dining at the very fine O'Bannon Creek dining room. Kathy and I will enjoy eating for "free". We had great weather for the closing event, and from all the comments I've heard since, everyone had a good time during the golf and dinner. It was really nice to have Fred and Rita with us for dinner.
Now, despite what some people seem to believe, the golf season is not over. And, the Friday night season doesn't have to be over either! Call a couple, get out there and play. Yes, it is getting dark earlier every day but if you start by 5:30 you can still get nine in before it gets dark. So, get out there and play, then enjoy dinner after.
If you haven't played in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised by how green the course is, especially the fairways. The cooler weather, and ample watering, is bringing the course back. You will be pleasantly surprised!
Again, thanks for a good season and the nice gift you gave Kathy and me. Also, election results for the new commissioner aren't final yet but it looks like Dave Forsthoefel is way ahead of the other three candidates.

Forsthoefel's Limp Home To Win Group 1 Championship
More to come, but this is a brief update on the last official league night, August 20th. As most of you know, Kathy and I took a trip to France, had a great time, but I've been a bit behind on a number of things, including posting to this and other blogs.
Dave Forsthoefel gave me this whole sob story about how the Thiel's cheated in the last match, robbing him and Arlene of yet another TGIF Championship. He even wrote his own detailed summary so I could post or read at the closing event dinner (which I will probably do). Anyway, all for naught, since Arlene and Dave did win the Group 1 Championship ( for what that is worth), by 4 points. Dale and Janet Lindle were second with 83 points, followed by two couples tied at 76 points, "Irish" Wayne and "Mississippi" Lina Stokes and Janet and Dale Lindle.
I may fill in some highlights from the final official night of play Friday night during my two hours of comments following dinner!
August 27th, four couples played a little TGIF unofficial event, two best balls of the foursome, one ball from the men, one ball the ladies. The four teams were Paul-Gennaro, Wilson-Smith, Downing-Porter, and Bunn-Lindle. There were some pretty amazing scores and if there was any real money on the line (especially if the money was mine), I'd ask for an audit, and probably referees next time this post season event is held! For those of you not familiar with playing 2-best ball of the foursome events, a score of 5 or 6 under par is very good for nine holes. Anything over that is phenomenal, especially a mixed couples event. But TGIF players are exceptional, as indicated by the following scores:
1. Team Wilson/Smith: 60, 29 for the men, 31 for the ladies, 12 under par (remember, ladies par is 37. Wow!
2. Team Gennaro/Paul: 63, 30 for the men, 33 for the ladies, 9 under par, another very good score.
3. Team Bunn/Lindle: 67, 30 for the men, 37 for the ladies, 5 under par, a winner on most Saturday morning games.
4. Team Downing/Porter: 70, 36 for the men, 34 for the ladies, 2 under par, again, this score would have won the front nine in the Pope Skins game last Saturday morning.
There will be some small recognition for the top two teams in this mini event at the Friday night closing dinner. Seems as though this event was enjoyed by all and we may do this with our full field once or twice next year, depending upon what the new commissioner wants to do.
See y'all Friday night. Scramble starts at 5. Please consider taking a cart, since that makes scrambles move better. As of this morning, we have 44 people signed up for golf, and 47 for dinner, so we will have a nice group.
