From the Golf Shop:
Our Ladies 9 group wrapped up their season on the 3rd of October with their closing day. They had a fantastic day and a nice turnout for their final round of the year.
One of the most popular events of the season took place on the first Saturday of the month in our Cross Country tournament. We joked in the shop with our some of our members that play in this event every year that the weather was too nice to be playing the Cross Country – 65 degrees and abundant sunshine is not the right weather pattern for this event! Our Overall Champions were Mike Rudzinski, Keith Blachowiak, Ryan Zawodzinski, and Derek MacNeal with a score of 28. Winning the Mixed Division were Bruce Davidson, Anna Davidson, Wade Sigurdson, and Adam Golder with 29. The Gross portion of the event was captured by Pat Byrns, Kyle Byrns, Shawn Byrns, and Nolan Skipper with 31.
The following Saturday brought the Keiser, our fall two-person scratch tournament. It was an exciting event and for the first time in the event’s history (albeit a short history), we had a playoff. Sean Schoenborn and Rob Kline held off Jake Roach and Matt Jeffe on the first playoff hole after both teams fired an alternate shot score of 75.
For the third consecutive Saturday, an event was blessed with incredible weather considering the time of year. The John Edward SWAT saw one of its biggest turnouts in recent memory. Jim Johnson, Andy Netzel, and Dave Roetzer eked out a win on a match of cards having shot a 67. New to the event this year, the winning (and last place team) received turkeys for their triumph!
If you have yet to get your golf bag and/or push cart from the cart barn, please make a point to do so. The barn is used as crucial storage over the winter and we need as much space as possible.
Our hours in the golf shop will be reduced from 9-5 in the month of November.
If you have a demo golf club in your bag, please return it to the shop at your earliest convenience. We are required to return those to our manufacturers at the end of the season.
We will again be running our annual Christmas sale – stay tuned for dates and times in future correspondence.
