TUESDAY SAW SOME BETTER SCORING

9 Old Timers took to the course today...and I mean that literally. The cart path only sign was no where to be found. 5 of the 9 players were positive for the day. All 3 of the Dave D, Dave A, and Charlie V team were positive. As a result they won the back, +5 and total +7. Tom D and Charlie J drug yours truly accross the line to win the front with +4. Tom D was steady today with +3, +3, =6, sharing the front with Bill H, and Charlie V. Tom tied the back with Dave A, and took total honors by his lonesome. Well done today Tom. Dave D was 3rd on the back, and tied for 3rd total with Dave A, and Charlie J. Charlie V was 2nd for total. Everybody got a little money back today, with the exception of Leroy and newcomer Dale Homeyer. New Player: Dale Homeyer 12. Charlie Curtis -1 to 32. Aholt 30 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 20 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 24 * Homeyer, Dale 12 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

SATURDAY OLD TIMER RESULTS

Many thanks again to the Acting Commish for providing us with a summary of todays action...........The weather was nice ... the course wasn't. Ten guys played ... two plus scores on any nine ... 10 total minuses. Charlie Voss (-2, +1, -1), Jeff Kavanaugh (-1, -2, -3) and Tom Dunlavy (-1, -2, -3) swept the team game. Charlie Johnson won the front at +2. 4 oldtimers split 2nd and 3rd at -1. On the back, Charlie Voss took first at +1 and again 4 oldtimers split 2nd and 3rd at -2. Johnson and Voss tied the 18 at -1. Third place was tied by 3 at -3, but there wasn't enough to pay them their 33-cents. Again we came up short. From now on, one guy collects from his team and pays it all to the "Treasurer of the Day," whoever that's going to be. It just isn't working with individuals throwing money on the table and reaching in to collect their share. The guys at the end inevitably get stiffed! Ryan Crow drops 1 to 35 and Dister drops 1 to 27. Aholt 30 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 20 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 24 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

TUESDAY ACTION

The Acting Commish provides today's results without his usual flourish.....................Charlie V. leads his team to a sweep, takes the individual front at -1, the back at +2 and shares the +1 total with teammate Bill Hall. Their third member, Dennis H. shares second on the back with Hall at +1. Hall also won second on the front at even. Charlie J. drops 1 to 29. No other movement. Aholt 30 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Crow 36 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 20 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 24 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

TUESDAY OLD TIMER RESULTS

Our Acting Commish reports the play from yesterday..... It was a miserable day. Cold, wet, sloppy. Yet, seven Oldtimers made an appearance. After all the flailing ... and reported cart-driving issues ... there was one plus score out of the 21 possibilities. Rich Purschke tossed a little +1 grenade into the group on the front 9 and walked away with the individual honors. Tom Dunlavy and Bill Hall split second at -1 and the team of Rich, Tom and Leroy took the front at -3. On the back, the hapless team of Hall, C. Voss, Dennis H. and C. Johnson recovered from their -12 front showing with a -9 and came within one point of tying the back ... losing to -8. Leroy's Even took backside honors with Tom, C. Voss and C. Johnson splitting 2nd at -1. Tom took the 18 with a -2 day and there was no reported 2nd place awarded. Tom's team swept the day, of course. Oddly enough, with all those negative scores, no one dropped a point. Aholt 30 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Crow 36 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 20 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 24 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

OLD TIMERS SATURDAY RESULTS

TUESDAY OLD TIMER ACTION

The Acting Commish speaks his prose for you....... Eleven played. The winds blew. Two were plus. But who needs nice weather if you're lucky enough to draw Tom Dunlavy when the wind is howling ... the greens are rock hard and slick as 30 weight. Tom's +4 was far and away the best round of the day. And Charlie Johnson proved once again that he's a real competitor with his +1. Everybody else? Running around the course looking for their hats. Tom D., Dennis H., Charlie V. and Dave D. go -3, +3 and Even for a clean sweep of the team event. Individually, Tom D. won the front at +3 and 18 at +4. Dennis H. finished 2nd on the front with Even and 6 guys tied for third at -1. They each put their 16 cents in the tip jar ... a grand gesture. Charlie V. won the back at +4 ... and that includes an up-and-down for par from the "black bowels" of 16 ... a beautiful save from down by the 14th green. Charlie J. and Dave D. tied for 2nd and 3rd on the back at +2. Charlie J. won 2nd place total at +2 and Dave D. and Charlie V. tied for 3rd total at Even. Tom D. +1 to 21. Charlie J. +1 to 30. DH -1 to 24. Aholt 30 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 27 * Harrison 24 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 32 * Voss, C. 30 *

OPENING DAY 2021 FOR KRAKOW OLD TIMERS

The Acting Commish has been practicing all winter on his writing skills....he never fails to come thru with his on the scene feel to his story telling. Drum roll please........ The season started out with one team being so completely dominant it felt as if they phoned their scores in from a different day. Bill Hall made the right draw and here's why. There were 11 players. 5 of the 11 had a plus day. Three of those 5 were on Hall's team. Hall was not one of them. Hall's teammates Eichelberger, Crow and Johnson were plus 8, plus 2 and plus 6 respectively. Add that to Hall's minus three and they went ... +6, +7, +13 for a clean sweep over the also-rans. Individually, Jim E. won the front at +7, came in 3rd on the back with +1 and won the 18 at +8. Charlie Johnson's +6 on the back easily brought him first place money for that effort and he finished 2nd individually with +6 as well. Harrison had a tast +3 on the front and won 2nd. Ryan Crow's +2 on the front brought him 2nd place money for that. Ray Sharma and Dean Voss split 2nd on the back at +3, and Sharma took 3rd money for total at +3. Leroy Eggert and the aforementioned Jim E. split 3rd on the back in an act of benevolence by the commissioner. To share as much of the wealth as possible on this first session of the season, the commish took the back nine dollar and split it with Eggert and Eichelberger rather than giving the extra buck to the tie for second ... which we will do in the future. Sharma took 3rd for total at +3. Five players either lost or gained a point on this first day. Leroy Eggert -1 to 31. Bill Hall -1 to 27. Dave Dister -1 to 28. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 20. And ... drumoll ... Ray Sharma went +1 to 32. Weather permitting, there will be a game Tuesday and Tursday at noon. Aholt 30 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 20 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 27 * Harrison 25 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 32 * Voss, C. 30 *

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN

A growing group of members want to get the season started while we're enjoying good weather. So Saturday, March 6, at 11 a.m., balls will be in the air playing the quota game. To those who wish to play Skins, you are welcome to add Skins money to the $3 quota game entry. However, it will be optional and someone playing Skins will have to handle the payout. The rules of our game remain the same: play the ball as you see fit, but play it that way all the time. Bump it. Down. Doesn't matter. But your quota will be based on the way you play it. Be consistent. Gimmes will be awarded if any part of your ball lies within 24" of the hole as measured from the handle. Every single stroke counts, so continue playing until you reach triple bogey or worse. Then pick up. Eagles are 5 points. Birdies 3. Pars 2. Bogeys 1. Double bogeys are 0. Triples are -1. Please play quickly. Stay in contact with the group in front. Payouts will be based on the number of players active that day. Individuals will be paid for their winning efforts on the front, back and total. Same holds true for teams. If your quotas are an odd number ... 23 for example ... the quota on the front will be 11 and 12 on the back. Bill Hall will get 11 a.m. Saturday tee times and I'm hoping Charlie Johnson will continue getting Tuesday and Thursday tee times beginning at noon. Charlie Curtis has agreed to post results and quotas on Krakowoldtimersgolfgroup.com blog. Dave Dister will continue to calculate quotas based on last 10 rounds. Remember, -3 is the maximum number of strokes allowed for posting. For example, if your quota is 30 and you get 25 points, 27 will be posted as your score. Looking forward to seeing you all in the heat of battle again. Listed below are all the starting quotas for the season. Aholt 30 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 29 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 32 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 25 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Voss, C. 30 *
