July 23rd Update:

Individual Highlights:   

• Dave Forsthoefel shot even par 35, net 30, last Friday night.  Way to go Dave--I can see the handicap dropping as I type!  Along the way, Dave birdied the 5 par #4.  An unfortunate bogey on the 4 par #9 took away the chance for the under par round.  As Dave was "going low", he also accumulated 8 points in his match against Dan Gennaro who was subbing for the vacationing Rick Lewis.  Not to be outdone, Arlene took 6 1/2 points against Brookan, who was subbing for Nancy Lewis.  Arlene shot a net 34, 3 under par. 
• Birdies:  Dale Lindle birdied #7 and Brian Ellis birdied #9.  Nice job, guys!
• Good Pars:  Several ladies parred the tough 5 par #3--Janet Lindle, Brookan Gennaro, Lina Stokes, and Deanna Spatz.  Great job.  Most guys would take a five on #3 if you gave it to them at the start of the round.  
• Low Net Scores:  There were two net 30's, Dave Forsthoefel and Deanna Spatz.  Rita Spata shot a net 33, Arlene Forsthoefel shot a net 34, Kathy Pare and Lina Stokes shot net 35's, and Brookan Gennaro shot a net 36.  Fred Spatz and Dale Lindle shot net 34's, and Brian Ellis shot a net 35.

• Closest to the Pin:  Rita Spata was closest on #7 and  Bob Pare was closest on #5.  Congratulations!  Rita, I'll leave some golf balls for you with the bartender.  Pare already picked his up!

Schedule Update/Extension:

Kathy and I are taking a trip to France later in August, meaning we will be out of town at the time of the scheduled closing event.  I have checked with O'Bannon and we can postpone the closing event and reschedule it for Friday, September 10th.  So, here is the plan.  Closing event will be Friday, September 10th, 5:00 PM shotgun, scramble.  Since August 27th is now an open evening, I propose an additional evening of league play.  Please let me know if you are interested in playing and I'll pair up the teams, put together a schedule for the evening.  Teams from both groups are welcome to play--just let me know by email if your team is interested in playing.  I'll also send an email separately with the same information.  Maybe I'll plan something fun/different from regular league match play for the 27th!  So, send me an email, let me know if you are interested in playing Friday, August 27th, and I'll take it from there.

See you at O'Bannon tonight, or soon!
