BIG NEWS
The course is going to allow substitutes for the remainder of the season. This means if you cannot play in any given week, you can send a sub. Your sub will need to check in at the clubhouse and tell the clerk who they are subbing for. They should then make sure Jan knows that they are playing and again who for. Several guys have been asking for this, and its great that the course has opened it up.
With a forecast for rain all day, 95 golfers teed up for the WAVELAND Mens League and stayed dry. Proof that you don't know the weather at the golf course unless you are at the golf course. Only the cafe closed for fear of weather.
Prize winners for the week were: Brian Fitzpatrick for a long, long putt on #5; Brian was outdistance by only Fernando Mastianni for young guy long drive on #2; Jim Kennedy for old guy long drive on #1; Ron Sandler for real old guys on #8; and with a drive that came within 18 inches of a hole in one, Mike McCourt on #6. Congratulations to all! Player of the week is Frank Corday. (see below)
Winners will receive a baseball hat in the clubhouse. I will prepare a list of winners thus far this year and have the person checking you in give you one. I'll send an email tomorrow to remind you that you are a winner!
We had some good matches last week. This is just a practice round of match play as we will have a match play tournament in August. I will keep pairing those who have competed in the past, and those who tell me they would like to be matched up. Again, you don't need to do a match even if it shows on the tee sheet.
NO PLAY ON JULY 2-The course annually does not have league play on the week of July 4. (Our 20 week schedule does not include that week.) There will be plenty of openings to play that day. If you want to play, reserve a tee time in the office before you leave.
Give us a message to post to fellows members...anniversaries, milestones, hole in one(s) and other golf feats, fun events, etc.
Lane Corday has the current leader in the Shot of the Year competition. Lane 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!
