As always, thanks to Dan and especially Glen for filling in at the last minute. Having a sub to play against is always more fun than not having one (even when they kick our butts… Dan!)
|
Not surprisingly, the nice weather resulted in mostly better scores, with just two handicaps going up, and four remaining the same, we had 8 players improve their handicaps heading into next week’s matches.
|
Only one player posted here, as Mark took 5 skins with his birdie at the 5th. Nice job Mark!
|
Team Michalski played well in the net skins category, as Pete started out with 2 skins at the 2nd hole, followed immediately by Sue with a skin at the 3rd. Mark’s birdie, net eagle at the 5th hole earned him 2 skins, and then Sue took another 3 skins with her par, net eagle at the 8th. Dan Richardson rounded out the category, just missing a birdie chip for a net albatross at the final hole, settling for par, net EAGLE and 1 skin. Nice hole Dan!
|
The first match out was a close one, and one of 2 matches on the night that had 4 tied holes. Mark took the first point against Dave, who quickly recovered to square the match. Two holes later he went 1-up only to have Mark square it back up on the next hole, where it remained until the 8th. Mark took a 1-up lead into the final hole giving Dave a chance to tie the match with a win there, but twas not to be, as they halved that hole giving Mark the 5-4 win. Great match guys!
|
In the battle of veterans between Marty and Bob, it was Marty with the early 1-up lead, lasting until a win by Bob at the 4th squared things back up, albeit briefly. A win by each player over the next 2 holes left them all square after 6, but it was Marty closing out the match strong taking 2 ½ of the remaining 3 points for the 5 ½ - 3 ½ win.
|
Despite taking a 1-up lead at the first hole, Andy was no match for Dan Richardson, who squared things up at the next hole, and then took a 1-up lead at the 4th. Dan went on to extend his lead over the final 3 holes for the 6 ½ - 2 ½ win! Nice round Dan! (Note: Your handicap has been adjusted accordingly 😊)
|
Next up was a family affair featuring old Dan vs young Dan. A couple of wayward tee-shots by young Dan gave old Dan an early opening, as he was 1-up after the 2nd hole. Young Dan squared the match at the 3rd, where it remained until he took his first lead at the 6th, and never looked back, winning 3 ½ of the final 4 holes for the 6-3 win. Fun match fellas!
|
Glen had his hands full in his match with Bette. While shooting 1-over his handicap, Bette shot 3-under hers, getting to 3-up after holes. It was a little back-and-forth from there, getting the match to 2-up after 7. Splits at the final two holes kept it there, giving Bette the 5 ½ - 3 ½ win. Not sure which nickname to use here: “Steady Betty” or “Buzzsaw Bette” 😊
|
It was a “Couples-win” night, as Tom took Brian to task, getting off to an early 2-up lead. Brian fought back to square the match up after 5 holes, but Tom then proceeded to run the table on him, winning all 4 of the remaining holes for the 6 ½ - 2 ½ win. Great finish Tommy! |
In the second of the “Couples-win” matches, it was Pete vs Gloria. After splitting the first hole with Gloria, Pete ran it up to a 3-up lead after 7 and looked like he was on his way to a blowout. Gloria managed to win the final 2 points to keep the match close, as Pete shot a tidy 1-under net. Nice round Pete, and way to finish strong Glo!
|
Rounding out the “Couples-win” night was Pete’s other half. Tim was no match for Sue as she fired a net 3-under par, on her way to a 6-3 win. Great round Sue!
Congrats to both couples for their wins! |
Mark retained the #1 spot, followed by Tom moving up from 3rd into 2nd, which nudged Dan F. down to 3rd. Bette moved up two spots into 4th, while Andy maintained his 5th place position. |
Dan Fusco closed out the regular season as the leader and top seed going into the playoffs. Mark moved up 2 spots into the 2nd seed position followed by Andy, who maintained his 3rd place standing, and Tim who fell to 4th place. Rounding out the top 5 was Bette, moving up 9th place (and knocking hubby Tom down to 6th in the process) |
38 – Mark
41 – Andy
45 – Marty, Dan F., Dan P., Dan R.
33 – Sue, Bette, Mark, Dan R.
34 – Dave
35 - Pete
This week’s contest went well into extra holes, and a rare 11 point win, as Marty, Dan P. Tom and Andy were all still in the mix after 9 holes. Going back to the first hole for just those 4 players, we saw Tom and Andy survive with fours to Marty’s and Dan’s fives, which earned them 9 points each. Tom and Andy then battled it out to the 3rd hole where Andy prevailed with a 4 to Tom’s 5, giving 10 points to Tom and 11 to Andy.
Marty took over the season-long lead from Dan Fusco, while Tom moved up into 4th place from 6th. Meanwhile Gloria fell from 4th to 8th.
