Smash Factor effect

Thanks to Mike and his launch monitor Mr 300 found out about his near perfect smash factor on the driving range prior to tee off.

They shared total with +4's and each had a shot almost in the leather on the closest hole's. unfortunately, they were in the first group. Terry n Rich tied for 2nd on front. The other Charlie tied Dennis for 2nd on back and won 3rd total. Bob won closest on 7, Wolford on 14..........Mike Clark -1 to 34. Charlie Johnson +1 to 32. Bill Hall +1 to 35.

Sergeant at arms

A new office has been created by the old timers, "Sergeant at arms", to ID players who may not be old enough for the game. Tuesday, Ryan Crowe, who is barely old enough to shave, busted into our a game and cleared most of the money off the table. He shot a three under back (equaled by Outbid) for a +5 to win back n total. Retread continued his resurgence by winning the front and the two of them took both of the closest to the hole. Not to be left out Wolford shot a smooth +3, tied for 2nd on back, and the three of them made a mockery of the team game. mike's two under for the day was only good enough for second on back and total. Terry took second on the front........PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG FOR OLDTIMER TEE TIMES THE WEEK FOLLOWING LABOR DAY. Dave Aholt +1 to 29. Dave Dister -1 to 25. Tom Dunlavy +1 to 24.

Missle man played Robin and took all the 2nd place money with a +3, +2, +5. And guess what, they drew each other as partners making a mockery of the team game. Their partner, Timmy kneepads, never had it so good. Mr CPA n Outbid won closest narrowly edging Loghead who was sent home crying to his mama.......Charlie Voss -1 to 29. Greg Curran -2 to 27.

Monsoon Tuesday

A little rain didn't get in the way of three stalwarts ... Coleman, Hall and Voss ... and one guy who I thought would be the last to show up in questionable weather ... Mr. Wilfred Aholt. They played the game ... albeit all singles ... used their quota and either paid or collected ... so it counts. Coleman threw a nice, little 33 at them on the front and won at +2. He continued his torrid play on the back notching a 1-under 35 for a +1. But the lumber baron was not to be denied shooting a 1-under of his own on the back (+4) and a 1-over total of 72 (+5) to take the last third as well. Bill Hall +2 to 32. Charlie Voss -1 to 30. Dave Aholt -1 to 28. Aholt 28 * Blackwell 31 * Clark 34 * Coleman 36 * Cozzo 27 * Crow 31 * Curran 29 * Curtis 30 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 22 * Ecklekamp 36 * Eggert 29 * Eichelberger 32 * Fortner 31 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 32 * Harrison 23 * Johnson 31 * Kavanaugh 27 * Kossmann 27 * Loyd 23 * Miller 25 * Moosmann 28 * Morris 26 * Nealis 23 * Purschke 21 * Sharma 32 * Voss, Chas 30 * Voss, Colby 32 * Voss, Dean 36 *

Records are made to be shattered

Thursday 8/12/2022 1800 GMT. Sunny skies, low 80's, winds light and variable, good roll, green speed moderate. There is just no way this course can slow the Border Guard.

Winning back, total, and sharing the front with Mac he and the Lumber Baron would carry Loghead(and his crooked putter) to a tie on front and wins on back n total.

Go away cursed July

It wasn'd the heat, the wind was gentle, the greens were rolling ok. so exactly how do you explain a team -22. bio rhythms maybe, domestic issues perhaps, or having 2 brown carts in the group could have led to confusion and golfers were mistakenly hitting each others clubs. The names of these golfers will be withheld to avoid further embarrassment. The team of Charlie V, Mike, and Dennis ran the table on the team game with a stellar??? -4, -8, n -12. Greg won the front with the only plus of the day at +2 before the brown cart guys drug him down the well with them. Dennis won the back n total with even, narrowly edging Mike who shot a smooth 1 over...........Greenie update...In August we will return to 7 n 14 for closest to the hole........Greg Curran -1 to28. Dennis Kossmann -1 to 27. Terry Moosmann -1 to 27. Aholt 29 * Blackwell 31 * Clark 36 * Coleman 34 * Cozzo 27 * Crow 31 * Curran 28 * Curtis 30 * Dister 28 * Dunlavy 22 * Ecklekamp 37 * Eggert 30 * Eichelberger 32 * Fortner 31 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 30 * Harrison 23 * Johnson 32 * Kavanaugh 27 * Kossmann 27 * Loyd 23 * Miller 24 * Moosmann 27 * Morris 24 * Nealis 23 * Purschke 22 * Sharma 32 * Voss, Chas 30 * Voss, Colby 32 * Voss, Dean 36 *
