Week 13

Another great ‘weather’ golf night and once again, thanks to Bob Kemp at Airways for the use of the carts, for last night and the rest of our season.

Three weeks left and 15 points still up for grabs, the top 2 teams had a hiccup. There are still 5 teams mathematically in the hunt. But some of those teams will need a lot of help.

1st place team of Gallagher / Williams will be going head to head with 3rd place team and defending Champions, of Myers / Patrizzi. There are 9 points separating them. 5 points will go a long way. It might come down to Ed Williams and Larry Myers to decide their team’s fate. Bill and Gene will not be here next week.

The Myers / Patrizzi team are looking for help in defending last season's championship.  But . . . in the woods?

2nd place team of Pierce / Wieland will be playing the spoiler team of Hemphill / Waid. With Ron still on vacation, I wonder which ‘ringer’ will be taking Ron spot?

4th place team of Cowles / Morano will be playing another spoiler team of Galiszuski / Stadnicki. Paul is holding the team together while Ted is on a 2 week vacation.

5th place team of Kearns / Russell will be playing the last of the spoilers, the team of Deyette / Stadnicki. (this will be the game to watch, because Kevin is going down!!!)

The next 2 teams are playing for pride and which position they will be going out in the end of the year tournament, the teams of Oravec / Plant against the team of Carey / Frankel. With Steve’s back acting up on him and Mat missing next week, this too can come down to Bill and Meyer.

Don’t forget, which ever position your team ends up at the end of the League play, is the position you will be going out at the end of the year tournament. Good luck teams!

The lies started early this week, before the first shot of the day.

Now for the individual league leaders, with 3 weeks to go and a possibility of 6 points:

Bill Gallagher is leading by 2.5 over newbie Tom Wieland. But with Bill needing a sub next week, it will ‘help’ the rest of the group to catch up

With Kevin and I playing each other next week, this will hurt one of our chances. Plus, I’ll be on vacation in 2 weeks, so I can only win a total of 4 points. That’s not going to cut it. Next weeks standings should look a lot closer (maybe).

Low Net:

It’s going to hard to beat the net 26 posted by Bill Oravec.

Low Gross:

It hard to get on this board with Duncan keeps shooting par and Brian Nick with his 39 but these guys are subs. On the other hand, "leaguer" Gene Patrizzi shot a gross 39 but because of the previous mention players and the fact that B comes before G, Gene is number 4 on this list. I want to mention this fact, because the golf program doesn’t choose between subs and regulars while doing this stat.

Forget Team Net and Team Gross, usually the teams upon the top of this list has a "dummy" player on the team. Team Net "might" be a little truer, but not much.

SandBagger of the week:

Great, my next opponent – Kevin "You’re going down Deyette!!" Kearns. I for one would like to say, good round Kevin. Your hcp came down a stroke! Great round Kevin!

Byrdie Club:

Only one returnee: Kevin "You’re going down Deyette!!" Kearns who birdie the par 5 4th hole. Great shot Kevin!

Eagle Club:

No new members. Can you call this a club if there is only 1 member?

End-of-the-year tournament:

Oct 10th at St. Annes

Players needing subs for next week:

Ron, Ted, Gene, Bill G, and Mat - anyone else?
