Week 7

It was nice to see Bill Oravec and Brian Nick on the course again.


It was "Old-Timers Day" ar Airways, as some of our golfers from yesteryear made a guest appearance.

I hope Larry’s hand heals before next week and doesn’t have a season ending operation, like Tiger!

Pay Back: Every golfer is looking for that elusive birdie and they try very hard to get one. Well on Tuesday night, it was pay back time! The picture will be on the blog and you will see how the birdie got me!

Bullseye!

Saying of the Week: The saying of the week was provided by Bill Gallagher. Bill had 2 birdies: one at the 10th hole and one at the 18th hole. When asked how he did, he responded – "My birdies were bookends to seven holes of crap".

And why is it, when I make a bad shot, Kevin’s there with his camera!!

The fishing was great on the 16th hole or fairway. I’ve updated the score card to factor in the 16th hole. Par for the back 9 went from a 35 to a 33. So the 2 highest hcp on the back 9 was 17 and 14. But like I said, the program will factor this in.


Lake 16.

SandBagger of the Week: Ted Cowles: Ted shot a fine 28 which had Hermann questioning why he was giving Ted 5 strokes! Good shooting Ted!

Ted just barely beat out both members of the Rookie team. Which leads us to ….. Michaud / Zwanch vaulted into 1st place after shutting out Kearns / Russell (Oravec).

Byrdie Club: The pitchers of beers were flowing this week!!

2 returning members and 1 new: (returnees) Len Stadnicki's bird came on the 12th hole with a fine chip shot to a foot from the hole. Meyer Frankel birdied the 15th ‘island’ hole. If you missed this hole to the left (this week), it was wet. As noted prior, (newbie) Bill Gallagher started and ended his round with birds. Great shots, Gentlemen!


The SandBagger is all smiles about free beer.

I noticed Meyer has 3 birds, all coming on par 3’s.

Yes, Kevin, I bought a pitcher for my bird!

To find out ‘How fine’ Len's chip shot was, ask his son Mark. I was walking with Mark and he basically said, ‘I can’t believe that landed a foot from the hole!’ and this is while he was shaking his head.

It didn’t go unnoticed: John Hemphill saved a baby turtle on the 15th hole.

Like always, if you need a sub…
