Tuesday Results

 A few words from our Acting Commish and his vivid description of yesterdays play....


The day began with a lively discussion concerning one of the Oldtimers' local rules.  When a ball hits the stick and stays within gimme range, but is not in the hole, it is considered to be holed-out.  The culprit being the foam donut that is in some cases less than an inch from the surface of the cups.  It seems that there have been instances when shots from over 100 yards have been considered rejected by the foam and considered holed-out.  The 7 of us in attendance agreed that the hole-out must be validated by someone in the group.  The validation is somewhat simple when the shot is a chip or a putt with other players on the green, but not so simple when the shot is from a distance that can't be validated.  In other words, we agreed that there would be no holes-in-one or other hole-outs from a distance that can't be validated.  No hard feelings.  When the foam is finally and gratefully removed from the cups, we can return to golf as it was intended.  Simply said, "if it ain't in the hole, it ain't in the hole!"  Until then, validation from a playing partner is required.


The course was eerily vacant today.  We didn't tee off until 12:40 and 50, but still finished shortly after 4 p.m.  We again used the old system of payouts because we had fewer than the eight players on our new payout chart.  Today was owned by Bill Hall on the front.  He birdied 1 and 2 and shot a tidy, little 1-under.  The surfaces used for putting were a little more varied (shall we say) on the back.  They ranged from very slow (#10) to almost normal (#18) and everything in between.  Three players tied at +1 on the back ... Eichelberger, Purschke and Dister.  Three players tied for total as well ... Hall, Eichelberger and Dister all recorded +3.  Below are listed results and monies won and lost.  The Hall team won front and total.  Back nine was tied at +1 (each player was refunded $.75 entry for the back as is tradition.)
