End of Season Outing and Banquet

It was a great day for golf. The rain held off or should I say it didn’t rain on the course.

Tournament Champions:

The team of John Hemphill, Ron Waid, Bill Oravec and Steve Plant – shot a 1 under 71 (without getting a birdie) thanks to Ron Waid chipping in for an eagle on the 11th hole.

Closet to the Pin:

Bill "Irish" Gallagher shot came within 5’7” inches from the cup. (about the same distance my drive was off the tee!)

The team did get the bird. A matter of fact the team (Bill G, Herm, Rob, and Shaun) got more birdies than the rest of the teams combined but they also (as a team) had the most bogies than any other teams. Great shot Bill!

Longest Drive:

Mike Galiszuski – Mike had 14 holes to practice for the longest drive and he roped one done the middle. Mike ended of his long drive with a 20 foot putt for a par! Nice Drive Mike!

I had a great time with the league this year and I want thank you for the gift of motor oil.
I’m hoping to see everyone next year! If I don’t see you by then, have a great off season!

Not if I have anything to say about it!

Week 16 (Final)

What a beautiful night to end our season!

Congratulations to the team of Larry Myers and Gene Patrizzi! The new Phoenix Golf League Champions!!! Larry and Gene held off the "youngsters" of Dave Housman and Paul Morano to win the league championship.

I just hope the team of Myers / Patrizzi stays together. You know how, once a team wins a championship, the players look for the almighty dollar and farm themselves out to the highest bidder.

Once again congratulations to Larry and Gene, the 2009 Phoenix Golf League Champions!

SandBagger of the Week:
