IT WAS REALLY WET, REALLY WINDY, AND REALLY LOPSIDED!!

Yesterday we found the course to be inundated with water, yet the greens were still on the firm side. Scoring was tough, with only one Old Timer reaching a positive result and one breaking even. Two teams of four started out with smiles all around, but at the end of the day the winning team was hoping to just have won the front. As it turned out, the team of Dave's A and D, Dennis and yours truly easily won the front, even, the back, -3 and total, -3. Said team, with each Old Timer at even, tied the front. Unusual, to have everyone have the same result. Dave A won the back +1, and total +1, with Dave D coming in 2nd with another pair of evens. It was definitely a challenging day at the course. No quotas change. 10 rounds ago everyone had a low number. However, Curtis will drop a 39 next round. Voss will drop a 31. Aholt loses a 30. Hall and Harrison drop 29s. So there's a promise of volatility. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 32 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 27 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 31 * Voss, D. 33 *

TOPSY TURVY TUESDAY

I'm still a little irritated about yesterdays round. we played 13 holes in about 2 hours..excellent pace of play...then we encounter the group from hell and take forever to finish behind them. Very frustrating..as we have had the benefit of many years of uninterupted pace of play. Enough of my grumbling, and on to the results. Starting on the back...Charlie J, Bill and Leroy win with even. The front was won by Bob, Terry, and Dennis H at +3. Total was a tie between Charlie J., and Bob's teams at -3. Individual winners...Charlie V and Leroy tie the back with +3, Rich +2 coming in 3rd. Terry wins the front, also at +3. Dennis is 2nd with +1, with Bill and Leroy claiming 3rd with even. Total was also tied by Leroy and Terry, again with a score of +3. Charlie V is 3rd at +2. Two Oldtimers went up 1. C Voss to 31. T Moosman to 27. Two Oldtimers dropped a point. D Aholt -1 to 28. D Harrison -1 to23. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 32 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 27 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 31 * Voss, D. 33 *

THURSDAY OLD TIMER RESULTS

April has been one strange weather month. We have seen pretty much everything but a drought, and we still have a week for that to happe. Nine Old Timers divided into three teams found a challenging time of scoring really well. Scoring was bunched together pretty closely. The team of Dave (D and A) along with Bill swept all three games with scores of even, even, even. The other two teams were -1, -2, -3. 3 players were tied at +2 on the front..Dave D, Bill, and Tom D. Leroy and Dave A tied the back with +1, as Bill and Tom again cash in with a pair of evens. As expected Bill and Tom tie for total at +2, and Dave D and Leroy with +1 tie for third. THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS HAVING THE SUPPORT AND BACKING OF THIS BLOG, BUT ARE THE OPINIONS OF THOSE THIRD PARTIES. It was brought to my attention yesterday that we should make a few changes to our after golf procedures. In order to keep the first players finishing from having to wait any longer than they currently are, the last group upon finishing 18, should proceed directly to the scoring area, pay their teams entry and provide a completed score card. After scoring and payouts, the final group can then return their carts and bags to their cars. Comments and your thoughts are welcome as always. Charlie Johnson -1 to 29. Charlie Voss -1 to 30. Aholt 29 * Clark 34 * Coleman 32 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 24 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * MM 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

CHALLENGING SATURDAY FOR OLD TIMERS

The weather cooperated yesterday, but the course offered a lot of challenges for the nine Old Timers who showed up. A few played well, with four finishing with positive results. The front was a struggle for all three teams, but Charlie V, Bill H, and Dennis squeaked out a victory with -4. Charlie J led his team of Tom D, and the Acting Commish as they won the back +2, and total -3. Charlie J and Bill tie the front with +2. Charlie V manages 3rd. Tom wins the back, with Charlie J second. Charlie J also wins total, +3, Bill 2nd, Tom and Charlie V 3rd. The course as it has transitioned from sloppy wet to extremely dry, firm, thin and fast is making for some challenging play. Nobody has ever said that golf should be easy..... Charlie Johnson +1 to 30. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 21. My apologies to Dale Homeyer. His quota is 14. We have a -3 Max drop rule and I calculated his quota at -8. Aholt 30 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 31 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 28 * Harrison 24 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 25 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *
