Playoffs Only Weeks Away

First off let me apologize for the league standings having to be added at the end of this weeks post. Something has changed with our site provider that has removed all functionality with the side column which no longer allows me to edit the standings there. If this isn't fixed soon I may have to create a new website using a different provider. Time will tell.

After this week, we only have two more weeks of regular season to go before the playoffs begin. It's my understanding, as it stands, that there will be four weeks of playoffs. The top four teams will make up the "A" flight. Teams five to eight will make up the "B" flight and teams nine to eleven will compete in the "C" flight. Details on how that will work will be made available soon.

Time is running out to make a move but there are still some teams who could make a push and move higher in the standings.

In action tonight, the Latecomers, Southpaws and Fat Shafts all earned six points. The Rolling Stones earned five points while four points each went to the KGB and Dubbers. The Fivesome and Wedgers each grabbed two points while the Hackers took a single point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Peter Hughes on hole #9 and Shane McGill on hole #18. The 50/50 winner was Randy Grills.

Scobie Shoots Par

Fivesome Jump To Fourth

With the standings being as tight as they are, it's no surprise that things can change quickly one week to the next.

For the Fivesome, who took five points tonight, that moved them up several places into fourth place, albeit by a slim margin.

In other action tonight, the CCCP and Latecomers were the only teams to sweep all six points. The Fat Shafts took five points while the Rolling Stones and Southpaws earned four points each. The Dubbers and KGB took two points while the Wedgers and Whizbangers settled for single points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Andrew Brennan on hole #7 and Eric Korver on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Ian Rogers.

No video this week. I was bribed to erase all evidence. See you next Wednesday.

Koetstra Claims Low Gross

Mark Adams takes aim at the 18th hole.

Andy Koetstra was dialed in tonight on the back nine blues as he turned in an impressive round of one under par 26.
 This score sets the new mark to beat for the Individual Low Gross.

The KGB had the low team gross for the night with a score of 95 which gave them six points. The Fivesome also took all of their points with the bye week.

The Latecomers, Southpaws, Wedgers and Fat Shafts all earned four points while two points each went to the Dubbers, Rolling Stones, CCCP and Hackers.

The closest to the pin winners tonight were Pat Convey on hole #6 and Mark Adams on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Tony Schick.

Hughes Leads Dubbers To Low Gross

The scores overall this season have been relatively high compared to past years but it was only a matter of time before teams and players started hitting their stride.

A handful of teams shot scores that beat the previous Team Low Gross but the Dubbers posted the lowest score by shooting a 90 to take over that lead. They were led by Peter Hughes who also set the new Individual Low Gross mark by shooting an even par round of 27. In total five players shot below 30.

In the nightly matches it was all sweeps as the Dubbers, Fat Shafts, Hackers, Southpaws, Rolling Stones and Fivesome all earned six points. The Southpaws have moved back into first place but only by two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Peter Hughes on hole #5 and Mark Kennedy on hole #14. The 50/50 winner for the second time in three weeks was Matt Knell.

Tight At The Top

As we settle into the season, so far it is clear that no one team is going to run away with things. Just seven points separate first from seventh place at this point.

The KGB have slipped past the Southpaws to hold a slim one point lead in the standings. The Hackers have been playing solid and currently hold down third place, just three points off the lead.

In tonight's matches the Fivesome, Rolling Stones, Hackers and KGB all earned six points. The Dubbers and Whizbangers took four points while the Fat Shafts and Southpaws each earned two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Dean Timson on hole #4 and Kevin Wadsworth on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Marsh Ferguson.

See you next Wednesday!

Southpaws Alone In First

With summer less than a week away from its official arrival the conditions, although a bit breezy, couldn't have been much better for tonight's round of golf.

The Southpaws had the low team round of the evening with a 99 and grabbed six points from the Latecomers to move into first place all alone. The Fat Shafts and KGB went into the evening tied for first but now both sit in a tie for second place after an even split earning three points each.

Also earning all six points tonight were the Hackers, Rolling Stones and Dubbers. The  Whizbangers took five points which allowed the Wedgers to earn a single point.

Tim Donaldson tied the Individual Low Gross score by shooting a 28. Andy Koetstra and Rick Dean each shot rounds of 30.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Paul Scobie on hole #3 and Randy Grills on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Matt Knell.

Sorry no video or photos this week but I was too busy counting my score. See you next Wednesday night.
