Lower temperatures don't usually lead to lower scores.  The team of King Wong, Ted Doria, Julie Chien and Joseph Chien proved an exception, placing first with a team score of 121 (19 under par).  The next team was four strokes back.  

The lowest gross scores by flight were Marc Kearns & Steve Keith (both 72), Mike Meissenburg (77), Don Walls (82) and Hoyt Etter (88).  This group also had the lowest nets:  Steve Keith (68), Mike Meissenburg (66), Don Walls (65) and Hoyt Etter (67).

Jim Lencek, Todd Schmieder, David Fleek and Butch May each won a pair of skins.  

No CTP was closer than Ron Zent, with a Hole in One on #8.  This is Ron's third.

Thanks to Dave Basile for setting up and scoring this tournament.

Our Third Thursday Skee Memorial Member Member team events were won by Jim Meyer & Greg Prough in Flight 1, with a net 62.  Flight 2 was won by Tom Kennedy & Doug Rustrum with a net 65.

The winner of the day, however, had to be Alex Cruz, hitting every category.  Most impressive was his first hole-in-one on #2, accompanied by another CTP on #17.  He and Ryan Haeger were second in team Flight 1.  He was both low gross (68) and low net (70) in Flight 1 individual totals.  He collected two skins for natural eagles on #2 and #7.  Maybe we can push him off onto the senior tour.

The other winners include Bill Cloud (80), Todd Schmieder (81) and Jim Thornton (93) for low gross in the remaining flights.  Low net winners were Jim Meyer (69), Todd Schmieder (69), and Ted Doria (73).  Besides Alex, Tom Kennedy and Sherry Howard also won a pair of skins apiece.

Thanks to Peter Cary for organizing and scoring this tournament, which went from 92 players and no threesomes two days out, down to 85 players and 7 threesomes at game time.  We were given notice by the withdrawals, which is very helpful.

With some wind, it was still a pleasant day for play.  With over 100 players, about half of the field was members playing with guests.  The member guest event was won by Sean McGroarty and his guest, Chris Calkin at 11 under par.  Team handicaps were 85% of the handicaps shown on the scorecards, so the actual team results will differ from the results using your scorecards, which showed full handicaps.  The best score in the members playing with members division was by Doug Rustrum and Tom Kennedy at 9 under par.

The low gross winners by flight were Danny Dalton (gross 71), guest of Jim Alhandy, Scott Drennen (76), guest of Mike Drennen, Sean McGroarty (81), and Robert Simpson (86).  The best net scores by flight were Dave Basile, Tom McCafferty and Pete deBoer (tied at net 71), Scott Drennen (67), Sean McGroarty (66) and Joe Mohney (68).

 

Net skins were awarded in 26 cases, with Kyle Willis, guest of Joe Willis, the only player with two skins.  Larry Newman was only an inch or two away from an ace on #12 for his CTP.

We are posting scores for all players, including guests, with GHIN's.  Nine guests without indexes had handicaps calculated after play using the Callaway system, modified by the course rating.  Play was exceeding five hours near the end, which is slower that we would like to see.  Please work hard to stay in position behind the group in front of you during events.

Thanks to Bret Bauer, with assistance from Ron Plummer, in organizing and scoring this tournament.

You may have noticed the new button on the latest web posts.  This tiny addition was no small feat.  It involved inserting over 200 characters of html code into the page while knowing next to nothing about html code.  It is remarkable to me that it worked.
