Welcome to new member Greg Curran

With our new member Greg joining 11 other oldtimers on a great day for golf it was the course that lost for a change. The final total was +35 for the whole group. The onslaught was led by Charlie J and Leroy who tied total with +7 and led Bob n Dave to team wins on front n total with a crazy +20. CJ won front and Greg won back. Bill, with a +6 and Rich with a +5 were solid in helping Charlie V n Tom to team victory on the back. Closest to the pin were Bob on 7 and Mike on 14. AJGA notes. For anyone wanting to see good golf this week was a bonanza. I followed a young girl (Asia Young) from Bend Oregon who was staying in my daughters Airbnb.

Practice makes perfect

Two, not so old, Oldtimers teed it up Saturday after playing 18 in the morming. It worked. Jimbo n Outbid started strong and stayed the course. Their partner, Motor Home, won the front and their other partner, The Lumber Baron, was +2 for a team total of +14 on the front. Even their -6 on the back was enough for a team trifecta. Jimbo won total at +5 and tied Grizzly for back. Jimbo n Outbid took closest...........As everybody knows the AJGA tournament will run Monday thru Thursday. The only golf Tuesday will be by the Ladies League. We do have tee times on Thursday of 1:40, 1:50, & 2 oclock. see ya then...........Mike Clark +1 to34. Jim Eichelberger +1 to29.

Mysterious disappearance

Questions abound regarding the whereabouts of Mr 300 over the last week. Although he claims to have been nursing his wife back to health there are those who think he may have been at a Dave Peltz advanced short game school. Thursday he returned with a vengeance to shoot a +3+4+7 to tie the front and run away with back and total. Bob n Bill joined Dave on the front with +3's carrying the team to victory on front and total. The fourth member of the team, Denny K, smoked his hookah and gleefully accepted his share of the money. Scouts for the LIV tour were seen following Outbid who shot a smooth 1 under while leading his squad to victory on the back. Naturally. Dave n Mike also won closest to the pin..........Dister +1 to 26. Coleman -1 to 34. Dunlavy -1 to 22.

The young sprout, Bob, won back with Randy close on his heels. Randy won total at +2 with the octogeenarian the only other plus. Randy.

Homeless golfers invade FCCC Oldtimers

It was inevitable, a sign of the times. it only takes a leisurely drive through downtown and the local parks to realize that homelessness is an issue in our town. Thursday, four of them invaded our sacred Oldtimers golf game. they were easy to spot, three of them putted from the wrong side of the ball and the other pretended to be in the Lumber business. some of our Oldtimers rose to the occasion. Jimbo, saddled with two of the indigents( Loghead n the Lumber Baron) fired off a +5, +1, +6 to tie for front with a +5, tie back, and win total. The family dunlavy, with Jeff tieing the front and taking 2nd total took front and total team despite having to take Lefty Leroy to the soup kitchen at the turn. The team of Motor Home, Outbid, and the border guard, devoid of homelessness, powered to victory on back n total. Jimbo won closest on 7 while Loghead claimed victory on 14 despite objections concerning his abuse of the flag stick.".................................. Charlie Johnson -2 to 27. Jeff Cozzo +1 to 27. Terry Moosmann -1 to 27. Charlie Voss -1 to 25. Leroy Eggert -1 to 31. Jim Eichelberger +1 to 28.

Big Mac truck roars

Mr 300 was the rabbit Tuesday jumping out to win the front with a +5, closest on 7, and then carry the Lumber Baron and Motor home to victory. But when the big mac truck shifted gears it was all over. with a +3, +4, +7 he won back n total and carried Retread n Outbid to victory. The border guard was closest on 14........... CV -1 to 26.

Divot repair day

Tuesday was divot repair day. 16 eager clubbers including Oldtimers Missle Man and Loghead teamed up with Borgia golfers and coaches to spread nearly 5 tons of sand over every one of Jimbo's professional divots. some of his divots were in heavy rough and a few were out of bounds (wait, did i say out of bounds). Following this a nice rain Wednesday helped our repair job and should definitely enhance the enjoyment of our members and guests in the Krakow Cup this weekend..... please remember to sand your divots and one other this summer.........Thursdays matches were a race to incompetence with the final total 32 below. Charlie Voss bucked the trend however with a +1, +3, +4 to take front, back, n total plus closest on 7. Leroy n Bob played solid and along with Tom carried the Lumber Baron to a team trifecta. Leroy slopped one in on 14 for closest..........Of the 10 players in today's field, 9 of them will have a different quota for their next round. Only two added a point to their quotas.
