Here we go, a brief update on the June 25th Matches of the TGIF Couples League.
Low Net Scores:
There were a lot of very good net scores last Friday night. Must have been something in the water, beer, or margaritas! Debbie Yingling and Shirley Smith were on fire, shooting net 34 and 31 respectively. Nice job Debbie and Shirley, but sorry, not enough for low net of the week. Donna Bunn set the course on fire, shooting a 7-under, net 30! Great round, Donna, 4 shots better than your hubbie Steve could muster.
Speaking of Steve, he had to feel pretty good about shooting a gross 38, net 34. May have even dreamed of being mentioned here on this infamous blog by this less than famous blogger. Well Steve, you have been mentioned, twice, but not for having the best net score last Friday night. "Hub" Hlovchiek shot a net 33, Joel Miller shot a net 32, both very nice rounds, but the star of the night for both the men and women was Jerry Paul. Jerry broke his shoulder earlier this year, I think playing soccer with a grandchild, and has been recovering all season. I've had to listen to him complain about his low handicap since he hasn't been able to hit a full tee shot all season. Guess he has recovered since Jerry shot a gross 33, net 29! Jerry birdied #'s 3, 8, and 9 and only had one bogey on #6. Great round Jerry! I think I would have been tempted to play nine more but of course, lights would have been required.
Closest to the Pin:
First, need to mention the closest to the pin winners from the June 11th matches. Jimmy "TT" Schiesler was closest of all the men on #5 and Lina Stokes was closest of all the ladies on #7. Nice job Jim and Lina!
Last Friday night, Randy Lansdell was closest of the men on #5 and Brookan Gennaro hit a lovely shot to about 8 feet on # 7 (I was with her, so know the shot was lovely). Congratulations Randy and Brookan!
This year I'm handing out 3 brand, spanking new golf balls to each Closest to the Pin winner every week. I'll find you or your spouse as soon after the Friday night matches as possible to get your spectacular prize package to you!
Split the Pot/Rally for The Cure Cookies:
The TGIF league members supported O'Bannon Creek Golf Club's Rally for the Cure fun and fund raising efforts by selling Split the Pot tickets and decorated sugar cookies. Thanks to Moe for baking the cookies and Kathy for decorating them. Janet Lindle won the Split the Pot, taking home $60 in Pro Shop Credits. We raised a little over $140 for Rally. Nice job, and thanks.
Standings:
In Group 1, Arlene and Dave Forsthoefel are leading with 41.5 points, but Janet and Dale Lindle are close on their heels with 40 points. Just behind the Lindle's are Nancy and Jim Downing with 39 points.
Group 2 is led by Ruth and Jerry Paul who have accumulated 38.5 points, followed in second place by Brookan and Dan Gennaro who have 35.5 points. Sandy and Jeff Garrison are in 3rd with 34 points.
The Heart of the Season is Upon Us:
Okay, here we go, no breaks from now on! Matches are scheduled for every Friday night from now to the end of the season. This is go time, time for the front runners to run and the chasers to chase. It is going to get ugly out there as all the teams try to win the coveted prizes at the end of the season. I'm keeping it a secret what those prizes will be but trust me, they will be BIG! So play hard, put your game faces on, take no hostages! Every woman and man for themselves, or at least for their team.
4th of July Holiday:
The TGIF offices will be closed over the weekend to celebrate the 4th of July holiday. The Commissioner, yours truly, will be playing as much golf as possible from the time I finish this blog until dark Monday night. And the Mrs. will be playing a fair amount as well. Hope to see y'all out on the course this weekend. Enjoy!
Dave
