The 2011 O'Bannon Creek Golf Club Friday Night Couple's Golf League is now in the books. All regular weekly matches are complete. Tomorrow night, August 26th, the season-ending Scramble and Buffet will be held. I'm not going to tell y'all who won the league but I will tell you it was close to the end. Season-long champions will be crowned during the buffet and closing ceremony.
Here are a few highlights from August 19th matches:
Top Point Winners: Joel and Linda Miller scored the most points last week, 13 1/2. Nice week, Joel and Linda. Several other teams scored 12 points.
Closest to the Pin: Linda Miller was closest to the pin on # 7, and Wayne Stokes was closest to the pin on #5. Interestingly, Wayne birdied #7 and parred #5.
Birdies: In addition to Wayne's birdie, Sandy Garrison birdied #4. Nice job Sandy.
That is all for now. I look forward to seeing most of you tomorrow night. The weather should be great, food will be excellent. Come out, play a little golf, and enjoy the company of fellow league members.

Bunn's Lead O'Bannon Creek Friday Night Couple's League with One Week to Go
There is only one week left in the O'Bannon Creek Golf Club Friday Night Couple's League. Donna and Steve Bunn have a narrow, two point lead. They are followed closely by Darlene and Ben Basone, two points back, and Janet and Jay Kuhn are five points back. Darlene and Ben have drawn a forfeit this week, will end the season with 86 1/2 points, so the bar has been set. To beat the Basones, a team needs to end the season at 87 points.
Several teams scored a lot of points last week, led by the Trames with 16 1/2 points, the Basones with 15 1/2 points, and the Bunns with 14 1/2 points. Nice week all!
Nancy Downing was closest to the pin on #7 and Gary Trame was closest on #5. Congratulations!
This week I'm going to focus on players who had a birdie on one or more holes. Lina Stokes birdied #8, yours truly had a birdie in #3, Jerry Paul birdied #4, and Ben Basone through two birdies at me on #'s 8 and 9! Congratulations all!
One more match to go, Friday, August 19th. Please come out and play your match, if at all possible. If you can't play Friday, please make up your matches. A few of you have already told me you won't be able to play--thanks. Remember, there is only one week between Friday's matches and the season finale scramble so let me know by next Wednesday if you aren't able to complete this week's match. That will give me time to get final standings determined before the scramble.
Thanks, Dave

July 22nd O'Bannon Creek Golf Club Friday Night Couple's League Results and Highlights
I now have complete results for the July 22nd matches. Steve and Donna Bunn lead the pack with 62 points, followed closely by the Randy Lansdell-Debbie Yinling team with 60 points. Ben and Darlene Basone are in third place with 59 points. Several other teams are within 5 or six points so the last two matches are very important. We have a few people out on injured reserve--hope y'all get better soon.
Here are a few highlights (only a few since it is Thursday night and I still have to get the score cards together for tomorrow).
Closest to the Pin: Sandy Garrison was closest to the pin on number 7. Drew Johnson was closest to the pin on number 5. Congratulations Sandy and Drew!
There were several very good scores. As George Carlin used to say when he was the "Hippy Dippy Weather Man with Some Hippy Dippy Weather" about temperatures, here are some scores: 45, 42 33, 35, 34, 29! Seriously, here are some good scores from July 22nd matches.
Ladies: Ann Wurster, gross 40-net 30. Wow, Ann, very good score. Debbie Yingling shot a net 31, Lina Stokes shot a net 35, Janet Lindle and Brookan Gennaro both shot net 37. Nice scoring all!
Men: Dale Lindle, net 31, way to go! Wayne Stokes shot a net 36, Dan Gennaro and "Hub" Hlovchiec both shot net 37.
Okay, so let's all get out and play on the regularly scheduled night if possible, tomorrow and then Friday, August 19th. Remember, there is only one week between the last regular matches and season-ending Scramble August 26th so if you don't play August 19th you need to make up the matches and get me the scorecards no later than Wednesday, August 24th so I can tabulate final results from the season.
Also, I will be sending a separate email asking if you will be playing in the Scramble August 26th. I hope as many of you as possible will join us. Kerry will form teams, two men, two women. You won't be playing with your spouse. We will tee off at 5 PM and a dinner will follow. You will be responsible for dinner. Dinner will be followed by prize presentations. Prizes will be awarded for season long performance as well as for the Scramble winners/top placing teams, etc.
Your September O'Bannon Bill will include a charge of $20 per team to cover season long and Scramble prizes.
See most of you tomorrow night on the course and in the Restaurant.
