TUESDAY OLD TIMER RESULTS

A good showing of old timers (12), took to the fairways yesterday, and solid play continued. It would be nice if we could fire up the rough mowers, and mow a little grass. The greens are still firm and a little slow, but they are covered in grass and the nematodes appear to have gone elsewhere. Once again, one team swept the front, back, and total. Bill, Dennis, and Tom played well with +8, +2, +10 for the day. But individual honors were swept by Bob with a really nice 2 under on the front for +5, +2 to tie 3 others on the back, and +7 to run away with total. All said it resulted in a 69 for the day. Well done Bob! Bill and Dennis +4 tie for 2nd total. Good scoring continues with 7 players positive or even for the day. Dennis Harrison +1 to 24. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 22. Bob Coleman +1 to 32. Charlie Voss -1 to 28. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 32 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 22 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 30 * Harrison 24 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 28 * Voss, D. 33 *

IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR GOLFING YOUR BALL

11 Old Timers were all smiles as they took to the course yesterday. It was a beautiful day, warming up nicely, with a little breeze to make things comfortable. The course is finally starting to green up nicely, and looks really good. A little attention to detail would do wonders for FCCC. 9 of the 11 players were even or positive for the day. Pretty damn good competition yesterday, but one team stood out when all was said and done. With Tom leading the way team Charlie sweeps the front +10, back +4 and total +14. Tom continues his improved play winning the front +5, takes 3rd on the back +2 and wins total +7. Great day Tom! Bill, Tim, and yours truly tie for 2nd on the front +3. Leroy takes the back with a nice 1 under resulting in +4. Charlie J 2nd with +2. Charlie J +5, and Bill +3 are 2nd and 3rd total. Some very solid play today by our group. Lots of pluses today, but only one Oldtimer is rewarded with a higher quota. Bill Hall goes up 1 to 30. Four Oldtimers will lose scores that are at least 4 higher than their current quotas next time around. So, unless scoring continues to be good ... there will be some downward movement on Tuesday. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 30 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 29 * Voss, D. 33 *

A LITTLE WIND, A LITTLE RAIN, AND A LITTLE MUD

Ten old timers took to the course yesterday and were treated to windy conditions, a short rain storm and pretty slow putting surfaces. I must admit, I actually made some regulation ball marks instead of the usual skid marks on the greens. There might be hope for softer greens, but if the temps stay up and the wind continues to blow, maybe not. Scoring was decent, as 5 players were positive for the day. The team of Bill, Tom, and Charlie J was the class of the field, sweeping the front +3, back -3, and total +3. Bill and Tom, along with the Acting Commish tie the front with +3. Charlie J and Rich tie the back, also +3. Bob and yours truly take 3rd with +1. As 3's were wild yesterday...Bill, Charlie J, and Bob tie total with +3. Charlie Johnson goes +1 to 30. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 30 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 29 * Voss, D. 33 *

Rain out after 9 today.

Golf was rained out after 9 holes today. On a very positive note, Charlie Voss, along with Bill and Jeff finished playing after the rest of us bailed out. Matching his even par start on the front, Charlie shot his age today...a very nice 71. Well done and hoping there is many more days like today. No harm, no foul. I knew Joe had a good round when he played his first and only quota game two years ago. His team would've still won today and he would've still finished 2nd individually. with his 14 quota on the front. He is an established 29. Welcome to the game, again, Joe. Looking forward to seeing you more often. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 29 * Voss, D. 33 *

BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY YESTERDAY

With fingers crossed, it just might be possible that the Old Timers get in three days of play in the same week. Chance of rain Saturday afternoon, but it's looking good. Speaking of rain...we could sure use a little more water on our tees and greens. Not to forget the new sod that looks like it is starving to death. Oh well...the zebra never changes its stripes. Scoring is improving as we move out of spring. 2/3 of yesterdays players were positive or even for the day. Dave D, Charlie J, and Dennis had a very nice day, as they won the front +8, total +9; and each with +3 tied 1st, 2nd, and 3rd individually for total. That is not all of the winnings they had yesterday...Charlie J wins the front +4. Dave D ties the front with Leroy +3, and ties the back with three others, who will remain nameless. Rich wins the back with +3, and Dennis manages 2nd on the back, +2. Somehow, Bill, Charlie V, and Rich were able to improve 9 points on the back, and win total +3. An interesting point...Dave, Charlie J, and Dennis each managed to end up with +3's. Might be the first time that this has happened. Charlie Voss -1 to 29. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 29 * Voss, D. 33 *

UH!!!....MAYBE I COULD HAVE GIVEN OUT THE ACTUAL RESULTS!!!

Dave D, Rich, Bill, and Dennis win the front, +1, and tie total, also +1. Bob, Charlies V and J, along with Dave A take the back +3, and you guessed it...tie total. Dennis wins the front, +4, 2nd on the back, +2, and takes total +6. Dave D is 2nd on the front, +3, and ties for 2nd total with Bob, +2. Dave A won the back with +3. Everybody got a little bit of their investment back yesterday.

TUESDAY RESULTS

Yesterdays golf action is provided by the Acting Commish....while he mentions the unfavorable playing conditions, only 2 of the 8 players were negative points for the day. Without further ado...the Acting Commish..... It's May for Heaven's sake! The Northeast wind was howling. The course is still wet ... even though we were off the paths (except 12 of course.) Downwind putts were fast. Upwind putts were dirt slow. Harrison goes +1 to 23. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 23 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

UPDATED TUESDAY TEE TIMES

Golf Tuesday will be moved earlier to 1130, 40 and 50. For now it appears to only be a one day change in our schedule. Stay tuned for more breaking news.

ANOTHER REALLY WINDY AND TOUGH GOLFING DAY

It's always a great day when golfing your ball with friends is involved, but once again yesterday was certainly a challenge. The wind was constantly changing, the pace of play slowed to a crawl on the back, and the greens were a little fuzzy. Did I fail to mention that the rough is becoming very healthy, even after being mowed. Ten of us took to the first tee, with no one scoring any better than even for the day. Bill, Tom and Dennis, won the front +3, and total, -5. While Dave's A and D, along with Bob, took the back at -4. As expected, all three teams were minus for the day. Tom and Dennis with +2, tied the front, with Charlie J coming in 3rd at even (including a 40 foot putt, and holing out from the sand on number 4). Dave D wins the back with +1, Bill 2nd at -1, Charlie J and Ray tying for 3rd. Dennis and Dave D tie total with a pair of evens, and Bill and Charlie J taking 3rd, each with -2. Charlie Curtis -1 to 32. Bob Coleman -1 to 31. Dennis Harrison -1 to 22. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 31 * Crow 35 * Curtis 32 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 22 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D. 33 *

WE WERE OFF THE PATHS...BUT IT WAS STILL WET...AND WAS IT WINDY OR WHAT??

8 of us battled the course today, and while we were off of the paths, it was still fairly wet. Not much forward roll at all, if any. The wind was everywhere, and mostly not helping. Downwind was much worse, as it was almost impossible to stop the baLL on the green. Putting was another story!! The foursome of Bill, Dave D, Dennis and Charlie C won the front, +4, and total -1. Charlie V, Terry, Leroy and Tom win the back with -3. It was another tough day to score. Dave D wins the front with a nice +2, while Terry, Bill and yours truly tie for 2nd at +1. Tom brings it home on the back with the days best round of +3. Bill and yours truly continued their solid play with +1 on the back, and tied for total. Only two of the eight today managed positive totals for the day. The course is definitely showing its teeth these days. Four Oldtimers drop a point ... no Oldtimer sees a quota increase. Charlie Voss -1 to 30. Dennis Harrison -1 to 22. Leroy Eggert -1 to 30. Terry Moosmann -1 to 26. Aholt 28 * Clark 34 * Coleman 32 * Crow 35 * Curtis 33 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 21 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 28 * Hall 29 * Harrison 22 * Homeyer, Dale 14 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 25 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 26 * Morris 23 * Nealis 25 * Purschke 24 * Sharma 31 * Stoehner 25 * Voss, C. 30 * Voss, D
