Vangemeren Shoots Twenty Six

It’s not officially summer yet but things were definitely heating up on the course tonight with some great scores and the weather. 

We have a new leader for the Individual Low Gross after Nick Vangemeren posted a one under par round of 26. His score combined with a pair of 30’s by Paul Scobie and Tim Donaldson improved the Southpaws Team Low Gross with an 86. 

The Fat Shafts finally faltered and lost their first point of the season as they took five from the Whizbangers who earned a single point by splitting the net in their match. 

The Southpaws, KGB, Dubbers and Rolling Stones all took six points. Grip It N Sip It grabbed four points and the Latecomers took two. 

The closest to the pin winners were Thom Christmann on hole #8 and John Keuning on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was David Schwartz. 

The schedule for next week shows we will be playing the white tees again but I was informed that it’s likely that we will be playing the blue tees instead. See you then.

Wintery First Round

I'm sure many of us thought this opening round of league play might not happen and the weather certainly did its best to stop us but despite the near freezing temperatures, another season of league play is off and running.

To the new golfers joining us, welcome to the league and to the familiar faces, it's great to see you back for another go. Let's just hope it starts warming up soon.

On the opening night, despite the sub-par conditions (see what I did there?) it looks like we saw some decent scores. The Individual Low Gross leaders are Andy Koetstra and Nick Vangemeren who both shot 29. The Team Low Gross is held by the Fat Shafts who turned in a 100.

The Fat Shafts, Rolling Stones, Whizbangers and newcomers Grip it N Sip it all took six points. The Southpaws earned five points and the Dubbers took four points. The K.G.B. grabbed two points and a single point went to the Hackers.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Dave Schwartz on hole #1 and Jim Turner on hole #10. The 50/50 winner this week was Al Wilkinson.

Everyone do your best to stay safe and we'll see you next Wednesday night.

Regular Season Nearly Done

I don't know if it was the heat or the blue tees but low scoring rounds were hard to come by tonight with not one team shooting a sub-100 round. Andy Koetstra had the lowest individual score of the night shooting a 31.

With just one week left to play, playoff positions have yet to be decided officially and a lot could change in the final round next Wednesday night. Once things have been finalized and I have received the playoff schedule and format, I will try to get it up here as quickly as possible.

In tonight's action the Whizbangers, Dubbers and Southpaws all took six points. The Fat Shafts, Wedgers and KGB all earned four points while two points each went to the Rolling Stones, Fivesome and CCCP.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Dave Schwartz on hole #1 and Eric Korver on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Kory Hietala.
