A Word From Curt

Thank you all for the generous gifts at seasons end. It is my pleasure to run the league and get to know everyone who plays. It's been 9 years since I started and I'm looking forward to the 10th. After all, WE are the best league in Chicago!

We had some winners to wrap up the season who were: Ron Sandler for closest to the pin on #6; Randy Robinson for longest putt on #7; Ed Hammond for young guy (not) long drive on #4; John Farrell for older guy long drive on #2; and Rich Zaber for real old guy long drive on #8.

Our match play is completed with Winners posted on the Competitions page. Congratulations to all our winners! It was a lot of fun with a lot of great matches.

Thanks for also filling up the Jan Jar. She does a great job for us and I'm glad you agree. We also owe a lot to Course Director Mel Santillan. You probably don't know Mel, but he is the guy who runs WAVELAND and takes good care of our league. He gives us all we need and even a bonus round. Thanks Mel!

In the off season, we will have several Happy Hours at our favorite restaurant The Reservoir at 508 Montrose Ave. Long time league member David Lynch takes great care of his mates, and I am sure will enjoy the occasion. Stay tuned.

Again, thanks for everything. Its been a great year and a whole lot of fun!

Shots of the Year

Notable #1: Lane Corday teed the ball up on #9 behind the markers to try to get a level surface. He swung and his ball hit the markers and ricocheted to land on the #1 green. Great shot Lane!!
Notable #2: On #2, Brian McCartan hit his second shot to 6ft from the pin. As he approached the green, his playing partner Ron Cain hit his sand shot like a shot in pool and it hit Brian's ball and knocked it into the hole! Regardless what anyone says, we'll give him a 2..an albatross!! Good teamwork.
Notable #3: Phil Connor drove the green on #6 and sank his 25 foot put for a birdie on his way to his best score - 91 at 91!!

-- Curt At The Old Course --

Thanks again for your generous end of the season gift. I used a portion to play the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. It was great. Curt and Caddy are pictured below.
