Week 15

Well the last "regular" week of golf is finished. Next week the Championship round. Not too much has changed from last week, except, it is now a 2 team race for the Championship. First place team of Myers / Patrizzi and second place team of Housman / Morano will be pairing off together with only a slim 2.5 points separating them.

Since I had to leave early, I didn’t get any details of the great shots that everyone had.

SandBagger of the Week:

Kevin "How come I couldn’t shoot this against Deyette last week" Kearns took the top honors with a net 31. Great round Kevin! (Whew)

Byrdie Club:

I got no one – really no one?

Thanks John E Hemphill for grabbing the cards for me.

Week 14

There was a lot of "shade golfing" played last night.

2 more weeks – 1 regular and the championship.

The Team Leaders:

The team of Myers / Patrizzi hold a slim 2.5 lead over the team of Housman / Morano. With the team of Oravec / Plant 4.5 points behind in 3rd place.

Up next for Myers / Patrizzi is team Mackin / Pierce. Can Shaun and Rob play the spoiler, next week?

The Individual Point Leader:

Dave Deyette is leading with 19 points with Paul Morano in 2nd place with 17.5 points. Dave can win the IPL with a 1 point win or a Paul 1 point loss over the next 2 weeks. How is this mathematically possible with 2 week remaining, you ask. Well you see the team of Housman / Morano both need subs for next week. Paul is hoping that his sub will shoot low next week.

SandBagger of the Week:

Bill "start Brady Quinn as QB" Oravec, went low with a net 27. Great round Bill.

Byrdie Club:

Wow 6 birdies last night, 4 returnees and 2 newcomers. The returnees are Meyer Frankel who got his bird on the par 5, 11th. Mark Stadnicki, who started off his round with a bird on the 10th and Hermann Keilich, who also birdied the 11th hole. Tom Wieland, who birdied the 13th hole. The newbies are Dave Housman with a birdie on the 18th and Malcolm Powell with his bird on the par 3, 13th. Great shooting gentlemen!

Don’t forget – Rolling Meadows September 12th @ 11:00 am.

Subs for next week:

Dave Housman and Paul Morano.

How did he do?

Week 13

One hot night for golf!

It was good to see Malcolm back on the course.

Hi Malcolm!

SandBagger of the Week:

Or should I say Sandbaggers: Bill Gallagher and Mat Carey. Both shot a net round of 29. Great rounds, gentlemen.

*Note, for the last 2 weeks, who-ever played Lenny got the SandBagger of the week award. Next up for Lenny is Manny.

Byrdie Club:

2 returnees and 1 new: Kevin Kearns with a monster drive on the 1st hole, got his bird and Mike Galiszuski got his bird on the 9th hole. Newbie Brian Nick birdied the 6th hole. Great shots, gentlemen!

*note – Kevin needs to bring more money to the course. This is the 2nd week in a row he got a bird!

Birdie man with his birdie pitcher!

Three weeks left (2 regular and the Championship round). Team of Myers / Patrizzi, still have a comfortable lead over the rest of the league with 6 points over the 2nd place team of Housman / Morano. Gene’s starting to peak at the right time. I heard from Brian Nick, that Gene was having a great time kicking Brian’s butt last night (Brian was giving Gene a stroke).

Total point leader:

Dave Deyette has a slim 1.5 points over Paul Morano (who plays each other in two weeks). Will it come down to this match or will Larry Myers or Mark Stadnicki win enough points to pass the leaders. 3 more weeks, it’s still up in the air.

Our fearless leader.

For those who haven’t heard, Mat Carey got a new job starting Monday. Hopefully he’ll still be able to play, because his first pay check, he’s buying!!

Quote of the Week: "I went into the woods and came out with a handful of balls!"

Subs for next week: Ron Waid

There was talk of playing best ball for the tournament, teams of 4. If no ones has a problem with this, I’ll set it up this way.

4) Frankel / Carey (27.5 points)

Why is Brian standing that way? Or do we not want to know?

This week's singalong: "If you're a doofus and you know it, raise your finger!"

Week 12

Four more weeks to go.

If you have seen the email, we get golf carts for the remainder of the league play (if you want).

Myers / Patrizzi team are holding a very nice lead over the second play team of Hemphill / Waid. Kearns / Russell are no longer in last place. Is there enough time to make their move??

Dave Deyette is holding 1 points lead over the fast moving Larry Myers. Any bets?

SandBagger of the Week:

Shaun Mackin shot a very fine net 25, over my playing partner Len. Lenny had nothing bad to say about Shaun round, then again …. Da dum dum. Great round Shaun!

* It’s funny how just a week before Rob mentioned that Shaun and him were SandBaggers of the week "many" times last year. Hmm.

Speaking of Shaun and Rob . . .

Byrdie Club:

Two returnees: John Hemphill, who got his bird on the 12th hole and Kevin Kearns on the 11th hole. Great shooting gentlemen!

* I’m assuming that Kevin got a picture, I mean pitcher of beer!
