A Word From Curt

Thank you all for the generous gifts you gave me this week. 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 this week 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.

We will play our BONUS Round this week for the weather issues we had at the beginning of the season.

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.

Also, Loren Ahlgren is promoting UIC basketball and wants to buy you a ticket and a beer for a game on November 3 at 7pm. His son in law is the assistant head coach and team is on the upswing. Please send Loren an email if you are interested: loren.j.ahlgren@gmail.com.

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

After October 1, I will be out three weeks so you will need to make your own reservations as I will be travelling to Scotland. When I get back, I will send out an email to see who would like to continue playing in the Fall. Later we will set up an indoor opportunity when it gets too cold. I hope you will continue to play as the Fall is the best time of the year to play at WAVELAND.

Give us a message to post to fellows members...anniversaries, milestones, hole in one(s) and other golf feats, fun events, etc.

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 and you just may be a winner!
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.
