2026 - Week 13

Airways Golf League — Week 16 Recap: August 18, 2026

The third week of the second half

Nine players took the field on the front nine on Tuesday, and seven of them turned in target-met rounds. The two who didn't were Logan Jarvis — who shot 43 with three pars and still fell three points short of a target that has climbed to 14, because that's what happens when you win a first-half championship — and Bill Oravec, who missed by one. This was Kevin Gallagher's night, though: a career day and a takeover of the second-half bonus lead.

Kevin Gallagher's Breakout

Kevin Gallagher shot 42 — one stroke better than Logan, and the best raw score of the night. He posted 13 Stableford points on a target of 6, which converted to seven bonus points — the highest single-week bonus total for anyone this season not named John Gallagher (whose 9-bonus June 2 round remains the season standard).

Kevin's scorecard: par, par, double, bogey, bogey, double, bogey, birdie, par. Three pars, three bogeys, one birdie, two doubles. The birdie was a 3 on the par-4 eighth, his second birdie in as many weeks after going the entire first half without one. The birdie tank has clearly opened, and it may have been overdue: Kevin has been at or near the top of the pars leaderboard all season without much to show for it in the bonus column. Tuesday, he collected on both fronts.

His performance also vaults him into the second-half bonus lead:

• Kevin Gallagher: 11
• John Gallagher: 7
• Ted Cowles: 7
• Kevin Kearns: 6
• Logan Jarvis: 5
• Bill Gallagher: 4

Four bonus points ahead of the field with a nine-week half-season, this puts Kevin G. in real position — but there's plenty of golf left.

Logan Jarvis Shoots 43 and Still Comes Up Short

Logan Jarvis shot 43 — the second-lowest raw score of the night, and a round that in most weeks of the season would have crushed his target. Not this week. His target of 14 is the highest anyone in the league has been given all season, and even a 43 with three pars (holes 1, 2, and 4) plus five bogey points wasn't enough. He posted 11 Stableford points, missed by three, and picked up zero bonus points for the second consecutive week.

Logan is now in a familiar bind for a target-based system: the better you play, the higher your bar climbs. Two doubles (on 3 and 5) were the difference between another target-met performance and this one. There's no shame in an 11-point round — it's third on the leaderboard — but on the target ledger, the mountain keeps getting steeper.

John Gallagher Grinds Out 10

John Gallagher posted 10 points on a target of 8 — two bonus points, target met, and his third consecutive strong outing. He parred holes 1, 2, and 8, and added four bogey points along the way. His stroke total of 45 was third-best on the night. After sitting mid-pack the last two weeks, John's back with a target-met bonus round, and remains in second place on the second-half bonus race.

Bill Gallagher: On Target Exactly

Bill Gallagher posted 9 points on a target of 9 — hit the number exactly, no bonus. He parred three holes (2, 6, 9), added three bogey points, and turned in a 46-stroke round. It's his third consecutive target-met second-half week, though for the second week in a row he's had to grind out his target rather than beat it. Consistency, thy name is Bill.

Ted Cowles: Three-for-Three in the Second Half

Ted Cowles posted 6 points on a target of 4 — two bonus points, target met, and it's now three-for-three in the second half for the man whose first half ended on three straight misses. His only par on the par-3 seventh, plus five bogey points. Cowles has now become quietly one of the most reliable target-meeters in the league again. His second-half bonus tally (7) puts him tied for second with John Gallagher.

Dave Deyette Keeps Whispering

Dave Deyette posted 8 points on a target of 7 — one bonus point, target met. He parred holes 7 and 9, bogeyed four other holes, and rode the Bogey Whisperer method to another point on the board. Nothing spectacular, nothing disastrous, and one more bonus point in the ledger.

Chris McKone Right on Target

Chris McKone posted 7 points on a target of 7 — no bonus, target met exactly. He parred holes 1 and 8. Hole 3 was a quadruple-bogey 8, and hole 4 was a triple-bogey 8. Everything in between was Chris being Chris — grinding through disaster and coming out the other side with what he needed. He's now met his target in six of eight official appearances.

Len Stadnicki Meets His Target

Len Stadnicki posted 6 points on a target of 5 — one bonus point, target met, a nice bounceback after last week's 2-point struggle. He parred hole 2 and picked up four bogey points elsewhere. A quad-bogey 8 on hole 3 and three doubles kept the round from being anything special, but he cleared the bar.

Bill Oravec's Rough Return-Follow-Up

Bill Oravec, coming off his excellent 6-point return week, came back down to earth Tuesday — 2 points on a target of 3, missed by one. His lone par (hole 8) was his only scoring hole beyond that. Seven holes of doubles and triples made for a difficult day. His stroke total of 56 was the highest on the night.

The Joe Alvarez Situation, Part Three

For the third time this season, Joe Alvarez arrived at the golf course and left before completing a round. Back on May 19, he actually got started — played hole 10, teed off on 11, saw the rain, and walked back to the clubhouse (where he hung around and rejoined his group as a spectator on 16). Then on June 23, he made it as far as the parking lot before deciding that light drizzle was more than he'd signed up for, and drove home without ever getting out of the car. Tuesday it was a legitimate emergency — his wife's car had broken down and Joe had to leave to go help her — but the league's official scoring system doesn't distinguish between "left because of light drizzle" and "left because of vehicular crisis." Either way: showed up, didn't post a scorecard, marked absent.

To Joe's credit, this week's departure was completely defensible. Family first, and cars break down. The Joe Alvarez file at league headquarters, however, is developing something of a pattern: three separate arrived-and-did-not-play occurrences in a season is a genre unto itself. We hope Mrs. Alvarez got where she was going.

Hole 2's Historic Par Party

The par-4 second hole gave up five pars on Tuesday — Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Gallagher, Len Stadnicki, and Logan Jarvis. That's the most pars on hole 2 in any single week all season by a wide margin. In every prior front-nine visit combined, hole 2 had produced just three pars total. This week alone: five. The hole has finally decided to be reasonable.

The par-3 seventh also had a good night — two pars (Dave Deyette and Ted Cowles, both with 3s) plus five bogey points. And hole 9 gave up four pars (Bill Gallagher, Dave Deyette, Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis), continuing its recent run as the friendliest closing hole on the front.

Hole 3: Still Undefeated

Hole 3, which yielded its first par of the season back in Week 11 (Logan Jarvis) and hasn't given up another since, remained in character this week. Two bogeys (Bill Gallagher and Ted Cowles), two 8s (Chris McKone and Len Stadnicki), and everyone else scattered between double and triple. The tyrant still tyrannizes.

Where the Pars Came From

Twenty pars on the night — the second-most for any front-nine visit this season, trailing only the 21 posted on 6/23 — across seven holes:

• Hole 2: Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Gallagher, Len Stadnicki, Logan Jarvis (5)
• Hole 1: Chris McKone, John Gallagher, Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis (4)
• Hole 9: Bill Gallagher, Dave Deyette, Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis (4)
• Hole 8: Bill Oravec, Chris McKone, John Gallagher (3, plus Kevin G.'s birdie)
• Hole 7: Dave Deyette, Ted Cowles (2)
• Hole 4: Logan Jarvis
• Hole 6: Bill Gallagher

Logan Jarvis, Kevin Gallagher, and John Gallagher tied for the par lead with 3 each. Bill Gallagher had 3 also. Kevin's birdie made him the day's most productive scorer overall.

By the Numbers

Nine players, 1 birdie, 20 pars, 30 bogeys, 7 targets met. The 2026 season birdie count climbs to 21. Front nine averaged 8.0 Stableford points — tying the second-half opener as the best front-nine average of the season behind only the 9.8 on 6/23.

Attendance Watch

Seven absent this week — the three regulars who haven't shown up all year, Alex Fisher out again, Tom Wieland out for a fourth straight, Kevin Kearns skipping his first official week of the season, and Joe Alvarez in his own special category.

Kevin Kearns's absence is notable — he was leading the second-half bonus race coming into Tuesday, and the miss allows Kevin G. to leapfrog him for the top spot. One skipped week can matter this time of year.

The Second-Half Landscape

Kevin Gallagher takes the lead. John Gallagher and Ted Cowles are tied for second. Kevin Kearns holds the wait-a-week disadvantage. And Logan Jarvis, the first-half champion, sits fifth on the second-half board with just five bonus points across three appearances — a reminder that a reset means everyone starts fresh, and past dominance guarantees nothing.

Kevin G. birdied. Logan shot a 43 that wasn't enough. Joe went to help his wife. And the front nine, which spent most of April and May being unspeakable, turned in another very playable Tuesday.

On to Week 17.

2026 - Week 12

Airways Golf League — Week 15 Recap: August 11, 2026

The second week of the second half

If last week the field collectively delivered the birdie explosion, this week Logan Jarvis said "hold my beer" — and probably should have, because he now owes two of them. Eleven players took the field on the back nine, four birdies fell (matching last week's season-high pace), eight players met their target (also a season high), and Logan Jarvis authored the best round of the entire 2026 season.

Logan Jarvis Shoots 37

Logan Jarvis shot 37. Thirty-seven. Two over par on the back nine. It's the lowest round anyone has posted all season by two full strokes — the previous low was Logan's own 39, which he had posted three times. He's now responsible for all five of the top rounds this year, and this one is a class by itself.

The scorecard is a work of art: par, bogey, birdie, par, par, bogey, double, par, birdie. Two birdies. Four pars. Two bogeys. One double. That's it. Nine holes played, eight of them scoring holes, and only one blank on the entire card (a 7 on the par-5 sixteenth, which apparently exists solely to remind Logan he's mortal).

Final tally: 18 Stableford points on a target of 13, five bonus points. His 18 points is his highest single-week Stableford total of the season, three better than his prior high of 15 (which he had posted four separate times). His five bonus points ties his season high.

Logan Owes Two Birdie Pitchers

Per the ancient and inviolable custom of golf leagues everywhere: birdies must be celebrated with beer, and the celebration must be funded by the person who made them. Logan birdied hole 12 (a 3 on a par 4) and hole 18 (a 3 on a par 4 — his second closing-hole birdie of the season, and the second one he's used to walk off with a memorable win). That's two pitchers of beer owed to the group, payable at Logan's convenience but, based on how excited everyone else looked walking off 18, ideally sooner rather than later.

At his current pace of eight birdies through fifteen weeks played, Logan may want to open a tab.

Kevin Gallagher Finally Gets His Birdie

For the entire first half of the season, Kevin Gallagher was near the top of the season par leaderboard — 20-plus pars through the first half — without a single birdie to his name. The consistency was there. The scoring finish was always somehow just missing. Then on Tuesday, on the par-5 eleventh, Kevin G. made a 4. His first birdie of the 2026 season.

Only fitting that it happened on hole 11, which continues to be one of the friendliest holes on the course. Kevin finished the round with 10 points on a target of 6 — 4 bonus points, a 44-stroke round (the second-lowest of the night), and one long-overdue birdie in his ledger.

Bill Gallagher's Birdie on 10

Bill Gallagher opened his round with a 2 on the par-3 tenth — a birdie right out of the gate. It's his fourth birdie of the season, which places him second on the season birdie leaderboard behind only Logan.

Bill added pars on 11 and 13 and shot 47 for 10 points on a target of 9. The birdie-plus-two-pars stretch to open was the highlight, followed almost immediately by an 8 on hole 12 — the eye-popping start and the ugly follow-up. But he grinded through and met his target for the sixth time in his last seven appearances.

Kevin Kearns: The Silent Assassin

Kevin Kearns quietly shot 43 — the lowest raw score of the night by a stroke — and posted 10 points on a target of 8. He didn't have a birdie. He didn't have three pars. He just had six bogey points and two pars (on holes 16 and 18) and turned that into the lowest score and a target-met round. This is the Kearns pattern: reliably efficient, never spectacular, always in the mix. He now leads the second-half bonus race at 6.

Bill Oravec's Comeback

Bill Oravec, who hadn't been seen since May 26 — a 77-day absence — returned Tuesday and posted 6 points on a target of 3, three bonus points, and his best round of the season. He parred holes 11 and 14, added two bogey points, and generally reminded the league that he still exists. Given his low target (a reflection of his early-season struggles), the bonus points came easy, but he'll take them. Welcome back.

Ted Cowles Stays on Target

Ted Cowles posted 7 points on a target of 4 — three bonus points, his best round in weeks. Seven bogey points across a nine-hole span, with an 8 on hole 16 as his only real disaster. Ted has now met his target in both second-half appearances, and his second-half bonus tally (5) puts him tied with Logan and John Gallagher for second place. The Cowles staircase resumes construction.

Dave Deyette Gets Back to Bogey-Whispering

Dave Deyette posted 7 points on a target of 6 — one bonus point, target met. He parred holes 10 and 13, added three bogey points, and shot 48. After a rough second-half opener (4 on a 7), Deyette got back to his bread and butter. The Bogey Whisperer is whispering again.

The Hole 11 Bonanza Continues

The par-5 eleventh gave up Kevin Gallagher's birdie plus two pars (Bill Gallagher and Bill Oravec), along with seven bogey points. Nine of eleven players scored at least a point on hole 11. It remains one of the highest-scoring holes for the field all year.

Hole 16: Still Punishing

Speaking of holes that don't play well — the par-5 sixteenth once again handed out its usual serving of pain. Three players posted 9s (Bill Oravec, Chris McKone, Len Stadnicki), Ted Cowles added an 8, and only three players escaped without a double or worse: Kevin Kearns (a clean par 5) plus Bill Gallagher and Kevin Gallagher, who each survived with bogey 6s. Just because the back nine has generally softened doesn't mean hole 16 got the memo.

Where the Pars Came From

Fourteen pars on the night across seven holes:

• Hole 10: Dave Deyette, Joe Alvarez, Logan Jarvis (3, plus Bill G.'s birdie)
• Hole 13: Bill Gallagher, Dave Deyette, Logan Jarvis (3)
• Hole 11: Bill Gallagher, Bill Oravec (2, plus Kevin G.'s birdie)
• Hole 14: Bill Oravec, Logan Jarvis (2)
• Hole 17: John Gallagher, Logan Jarvis (2)
• Hole 16: Kevin Kearns
• Hole 18: Kevin Kearns (plus Logan's birdie)

Logan Jarvis led with 4 pars (plus 2 birdies). Bill Gallagher: 2 pars (plus a birdie). Kevin Kearns: 2 pars. Bill Oravec: 2 pars.

The Struggles

John Gallagher had a rough one — 5 points on a target of 8, missed by 3. His only par (hole 17) and two bogeys couldn't overcome three quadruple-bogey holes on 10, 13, and 14. After sharing the top spot last week with 11 points, a difficult regression.

Chris McKone posted just 4 points on a target of 7, snapping a streak of impressive consistency. He was 5-of-6 target-met since his return, then missed by three despite meeting last week. Len Stadnicki (2 on 6) had the toughest night — only two bogeys against seven doubles or worse. Joe Alvarez hit his target of 3 exactly (with a par on 10) but was otherwise engulfed by big numbers.

Second-Half Bonus Race After Two Weeks

• Kevin Kearns: 6
• Logan Jarvis: 5 (with 18 more Stableford points than anyone else)
• John Gallagher: 5
• Ted Cowles: 5
• Bill Gallagher: 4
• Kevin Gallagher: 4

Tight through the top six. Kearns leads by one; five players sit within two bonus points of the top.

By the Numbers

Eleven players, 4 birdies (matching the season high set last week), 14 pars, 41 bogeys, 8 targets met (season high). The 2026 season birdie count climbs to 20. Back nine averaged 7.5 Stableford points — the third-highest total for a back-nine visit this season.

Two straight weeks of four-birdie evenings. Two straight weeks where Logan Jarvis authored the round of the night. And after 77 days, Bill Oravec has returned to the fold.

Logan owes the beer. Everyone else owes an explanation.

On to Week 16.

2026 - Week 11 - Start of Second half

Airways Golf League — Week 14 Recap: August 4, 2026

The first official week of the second half

After two consecutive weeks of rainouts washed out July 21 and July 28, the league finally got back on the course on Tuesday — and the weather delivered. Blue skies, comfortable temperatures, no drizzle, no ricochets off trees, no reason for anyone to sit in a parking lot second-guessing their commitment. Just golf. Nine players took the field on the front nine to open the second half, and they collectively delivered one of the most productive scoring weeks of the year: four birdies (a new season high), 10 pars, and a three-way tie for first place.

The standings are reset. Everybody starts at zero. And the second-half race opens with three players tied at the top.

A Three-Way Tie at 11

Bill Gallagher, his son John Gallagher, and Kevin Kearns all posted 11 Stableford points — separated only by bonus points and stroke totals underneath. All three met their targets comfortably. All three earned bonus points. All three walked off with rounds that could have been the week's headline.

• John Gallagher: 11 points on a target of 6 = 5 bonus points, tops for the night
• Kevin Kearns: 11 points on a target of 7 = 4 bonus points, 45 strokes (best of the three)
• Bill Gallagher: 11 points on a target of 8 = 3 bonus points

Because of the way targets and bonuses stack, John Gallagher takes the early second-half lead by virtue of his five bonus points. Kearns sits second, one bonus back. Bill sits third, two bonus back.

John Gallagher's Back-to-Back Birdies

John Gallagher put together the most eye-popping stretch of the night. After starting with two doubles and a bogey, he birdied the par-5 fourth with a 4, then birdied the par-4 fifth with a 3 — back-to-back birdies on consecutive holes. That's a first for anyone this season; no other player has recorded two birdies in the same round all year, let alone consecutive ones.

The rest of his card was less magical — a triple on 6, a triple on the par-3 seventh, and single bogey points to close — but those two swings on 4 and 5 essentially locked up his target and then some. Eight of his eleven points came from those two holes.

Kevin Kearns Birdies the Par-3 Seventh

Kevin Kearns joined the birdie party with a 2 on the par-3 seventh — a birdie of his own, and the third of the night. He also parred holes 6 and 9, added four bogey points, and shot 45 strokes — the second-lowest raw score of the night. His birdie on 7 came right in the middle of a stretch where several other players were making doubles and triples on that same hole. Kearns keeps quietly authoring solid rounds.

Bill Gallagher's Birdie on 5

Bill Gallagher also birdied hole 5, joining his son John on the birdie list for that specific hole (which gave up two birdies in the same round — another first for the season). Bill parred hole 9 to close, added five bogey points elsewhere, and turned in a rock-solid 46-stroke round. It's the kind of scorecard that has become Bill's trademark: no fireworks, no disasters, just points steadily accumulating.

The Four-Birdie Week

Total birdie count for the night: four. That's more birdies in a single week than any prior week this season (previous high: 2). Season birdie count as of the second-half opener already sits at four out of the gate — put another way, the field produced as many birdies on Tuesday as the entire month of April did.

Birdies by hole this week:

• Hole 5: Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher
• Hole 4: John Gallagher
• Hole 7: Kevin Kearns

Logan Jarvis Grinds Out the Lowest Round But Misses Target

Logan Jarvis shot 44 — the lowest raw score of the night by a stroke — and posted 10 Stableford points. Normally that's a great round. Not this week. His target had climbed to 14 (the league adjusting after his blistering first-half performance), and he missed by four.

His scorecard: double, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, par, par. Opened with a double bogey and then reeled off six straight bogey points before closing with two pars. Nine consecutive scoring holes, no blanks, but against a target of 14, six bogey points plus two par points plus a blank on the double don't quite get you there. The season-opener birdie machine was quiet on Tuesday, though his lowest-score-of-the-night finish suggests the mechanics are still there.

Zero bonus points for the first time in a long time. The reset was real for him.

Chris McKone's Perfect Attendance Continues to Pay

Chris McKone posted 9 points on a target of 6 for 3 bonus points and his fifth consecutive target-met official appearance. He parred three holes — 1, 7, and 9 — one of only two players to record three pars on the night. His opening three holes were an ugly stretch (par, double, triple), but he closed strong with pars on 7 and 9 and bogey points sprinkled throughout the middle.

Ted Cowles Bounces Back

Ted Cowles had finished the first half with three straight target misses, so a return-to-form week was overdue. He delivered: 6 points on a target of 4, 2 bonus points, target met. His only par was on the par-3 seventh, and he added four bogey points. The staircase is back under construction.

The Struggles

Kevin Gallagher had another difficult one — 5 points on a target of 6, missed by 1. Five bogeys but nothing better than bogey, and three 7s (on holes 3, 4, and 8) kept the round from cracking double digits. His stroke total of 52 makes it two straight rough finales from Kevin G.

Len Stadnicki (5 on a 7) and Dave Deyette (4 on a 7) both had rough starts to their second halves. Deyette's usual bogey rhythm turned into doubles — five of his nine holes were doubles or worse. Not what the Bogey Whisperer had in mind.

Where the Pars Came From

Ten pars on the night across five holes:

• Hole 9: Bill Gallagher, Chris McKone, Kevin Kearns, Logan Jarvis (4)
• Hole 7: Chris McKone, Ted Cowles (2, plus Kearns's birdie)
• Hole 8: Len Stadnicki, Logan Jarvis (2)
• Hole 1: Chris McKone
• Hole 6: Kevin Kearns

Chris McKone led the pars column with 3. Kevin Kearns had 2 pars (plus a birdie). Logan Jarvis had 2 pars. Bill Gallagher had 1 par (plus a birdie).

Hole 9: The Friendly Finisher

The par-4 ninth is quietly becoming the front nine's version of hole 18. Four pars this week and five bogey points — nine of nine players scored at least a point on the hole. Everyone finished on a positive note, which is a nice way to end a round.

Hole 3: The Tyrant Loosens Its Grip Further

Hole 3 — the season-long villain that yielded its first par to Logan Jarvis back in Week 11 — still hasn't given up another par, but it did serve up three bogeys on Tuesday (Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, and Logan Jarvis). No 8s or 9s recorded. The hole is nowhere near "friendly," but it's no longer the automatic destroyer of scorecards.

By the Numbers

Nine players, 4 birdies (season high), 10 pars, 27 bogeys, 5 targets met. The four birdies are more than the field produced in any prior week this season. The three-way tie at 11 points is the closest scoring pileup at the top of the leaderboard the league has seen.

The Second Half Begins

After 14 weeks of golf, one first-half championship, and $200 in prize money already distributed, the second half opens with fresh scorecards and no leader. John Gallagher takes the early lead after Week 1, with Kearns and Bill Gallagher one and two bonus points behind, respectively.

The weather cooperated for the first time in three weeks. Four birdies dropped. Bill Gallagher and his son John combined for three of the four birdies of the night plus a full share of the leaderboard. And Logan Jarvis, the first-half champion, was reminded that this game has no memory.

On to Week 15.

2026 - Week 10 - End of First Half

Airways Golf League — Week 13 Recap: July 14, 2026

The tenth and final official week of the first half

Coming into Tuesday, John Gallagher led the first-half bonus-points race by a single point: 23 to Logan Jarvis's 22. Bill Gallagher sat in third at 17. Len Stadnicki lurked at 16. One week to settle it — well, sort of. July 7 was rained out, pushing the finale back a full week and giving everyone an unexpected fourteen-day break to think about what was on the line.

Real money on the line. $100 for first, $65 for second, $35 for third.

Ten players teed it up on the back nine — Tom Wieland notably absent from the leaderboard chase — and by the time the group reached the eighteenth green, the first-half championship still hung in the balance.

Then Logan Jarvis holed it for birdie.

The Comeback

Here's how tight it was: through 17 holes, Logan had 11 Stableford points on a target of 13. He needed his birdie on the closing par-4 eighteenth just to meet his target — anything less and he was going to finish the round at 12 points or below, earn zero bonus, and hand the first-half title to John Gallagher.

Logan hit the green. He read the putt. He made it.

Birdie 3 on the par-4 eighteenth. Four Stableford points on the hole. Final tally: 15 points on a target of 13, 2 bonus points, and — critically — two more bonus points than John Gallagher's zero on the night. Logan Jarvis: 24. John Gallagher: 23. Logan wins the first half by a single bonus point, earned on the single most important stroke of his season.

If any putt in the season deserved gravity, it was this one. Logan had already turned in three sub-40 rounds this year — including two of his last three — but every one of them had been about margin. This one was about survival. Miss and lose. Make and win. He made.

First-Half Championship Standings

Place	Player	Bonus Points	Prize
🥇 1st	Logan Jarvis	24	$100
🥈 2nd	John Gallagher	23	$65
🥉 3rd	Bill Gallagher	17	$35

Congratulations to Logan on the come-from-behind win, to John on a runner-up finish that would have been the story of the season in almost any other year, and to Bill Gallagher on a bronze-medal first half that felt earned — seven of ten weeks in the target-met column, including his monster 12-point round on June 2 and a birdie in Week 12.

The Night's Best Round: Logan (Naturally)

Logan shot 39 — his third round at that number this season and a three-way tie for the lowest score anyone has posted all year (all three belong to him). He parred four holes on the back nine — 11, 12, 13, and 16 — added bogey points on four more, and closed with the season-defining birdie on 18. He collected at least one point on eight of nine holes, blanked only on the par-3 tenth to open. Everything after was masterclass.

Kevin Kearns Turns in a Strong Runner-Up

Kevin Kearns had the round of the night besides Logan's — 9 points on a target of 7, 2 bonus points, and a 44-stroke round (the second-lowest of the night). He parred holes 13 and 14, collected six bogey points, and finished the season with a 10-bonus first half and target met in 7 of 10 official weeks. Kearns is quietly one of the most reliable players in the league; he just doesn't have Logan's ceiling.

Chris McKone Meets His Target Again

Chris McKone posted exactly 6 points on a target of 6 to meet his target — his 5th target-met week in 6 official appearances. He parred hole 12 and hole 18, then endured an ugly stretch (7, 6, 4, 9, 7) in the middle. That 9 on hole 16 was a season-worst on the hole for him, but even it couldn't derail him. His first half: 6, 5, 6, 11, 4, 6. Consistency, sprinkled with one absolute crusher of a Week 11.

Joe Alvarez Finally Meets His Target

Genuine progress story. Joe Alvarez, who through his four prior official appearances had never met his target (going 4, 1, 2, 3 on targets of 5, 4, 4, 4), came in Tuesday with a target of 2 — a target set to reflect his season-long struggles — and posted 5 points. Three bonus points, target met exactly for the first time this year. He bogeyed six holes, kept the ball generally in play, and did not, as far as we can tell, leave the course due to weather or catch any tree ricochets. A clean, honest, target-meeting round from a player the league had almost given up on. Well done, Joe.

Alex Fisher's Return

Alex Fisher, who had played sporadically in the first half (three appearances before Tuesday), was back and posted 6 points on a target of 7 — missed by one. He parred hole 16 (his second par on that hole in as many appearances) and closed with a par-bogey-bogey run on 16-17-18. A solid outing after his 9-point breakout on June 30.

The Struggles

Kevin Gallagher had a rough finale — 4 points on a target of 7. His only par on hole 11, along with two bogeys, but two 8s (on 14 and 16) and 7s on 12 and 13 dragged the round down. He shot 56 — his highest stroke total in weeks. Not the note he wanted to end the first half on.

Len Stadnicki also had a difficult week — 3 points on a target of 7. Two bogeys and a bogey on 18, with a lot of doubles and worse in between. He finished the first half in 4th place on the bonus-point list (16), narrowly outside the money.

Ted Cowles capped a rough late-first-half by posting just 2 points on a target of 4 — his third consecutive target miss. From his 5-for-5 start to a 2-3 finish. That's the sport.

The Hole 15 Story

The par-3 fifteenth became one of the busiest scoring holes of the night. John Gallagher parred it for a 3, seven players bogeyed it with 4s (Alex Fisher, Bill Gallagher, Chris McKone, Joe Alvarez, Kevin Gallagher, Kevin Kearns, Logan Jarvis), Len Stadnicki doubled with a 5, and Ted Cowles triple-bogeyed with a 6. Eight of ten players scored at least a bogey point — the most of any hole on the night.

Where the Pars Came From

Fifteen pars on the night across eight holes:

• Hole 12: Bill Gallagher, Chris McKone, Logan Jarvis (3)
• Hole 16: Alex Fisher, Bill Gallagher, Logan Jarvis (3)
• Hole 11: Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis
• Hole 13: Kevin Kearns, Logan Jarvis
• Hole 14: John Gallagher, Kevin Kearns
• Hole 10: Ted Cowles
• Hole 15: John Gallagher
• Hole 18: Chris McKone (plus Logan's birdie)

Logan Jarvis: 4 pars and a birdie. Everyone else: 2 or fewer.

By the Numbers

Ten players, 1 birdie, 15 pars, 25 bogeys, 4 targets met. The season's twelfth birdie — and half of them belong to Logan Jarvis, who finishes the first half with 6 birdies to his name. No other player has more than two.

Attendance Watch

Six absent. The three players who never appeared in 2026 (still gone). Bill Oravec absent again — his last appearance was way back on 5/26. Dave Deyette out for the finale, which meant no chance for him to move up the bonus board. And Tom Wieland absent — a costly miss, as another target-met week would have put him at 15-16 bonus points and squarely in the third-place mix.

Half One Is In the Books

Logan Jarvis takes home $100 and the first-half championship. John Gallagher earns $65 for a magnificent runner-up. Bill Gallagher pockets $35 for a rock-steady third-place finish.

Honorable mentions: Len Stadnicki (16 bonus, one point off the podium), Tom Wieland (13 bonus, missed the finale), Dave Deyette (11 bonus, Bogey-Whisperer emeritus), Kevin Kearns (10 bonus, the epitome of consistency).

Looking Ahead: The Reset

Next Tuesday marks the beginning of the second half of the season. All standings reset to zero. The bonus board is wiped clean. Every player starts even.

For Logan, that means the target he's been playing to all first half — 13, 14, 12, 11, 10 — will likely climb higher again as the league recalibrates. For John Gallagher, it means another shot at the title. For everyone else, it means all the ground you lost is forgiven, and all the ground you gained is gone.

The back nine got tougher again this week, as it did the week before. But the birdie on 18 was struck. The money changed hands. And a champion was crowned.

On to the second half. Clean scorecards, clean slates.

2026 - Week 9

 

Airways Golf League — Week 12 Recap: June 30, 2026

The ninth official week of the season

Tuesday at Airways felt like the course had been reading its own bad reviews and decided to do something about it. Ten players teed it up on the back nine, and for the first time all season, not a single player earned a bonus point. Targets went up, scoring went down, and the back nine — which just two weeks ago was handing out points like the local Rotary Club — clawed some of its dignity back.

Only three players met their targets. Logan Jarvis's remarkable streak came to an end. And the bonus-points race, which has driven the last month of headlines, is now dead-heat close heading into the final week of the first half.

The End of the Streak

Logan Jarvis's consecutive-holes-with-Stableford-points streak, which had grown into a season-defining stat, is over. The streak began on hole 17 of his June 2 round and extended through every hole of his June 9, June 16, and June 23 rounds. Then on Tuesday, on the final hole of his day, Logan made a double-bogey 6 on the par-4 eighteenth.

Zero points. Streak over.

The final tally: 37 consecutive holes with at least one Stableford point — more than four full rounds without a blank. For context, no other player has strung together nine straight scoring holes even once this season. Logan did it 37 times in a row. That the run ended on his final hole of the night, on his final hole before the season's first-half break, has a certain narrative cruelty to it.

He still posted 11 points on a target of 14 — a stroke total of 42 (the lowest of the night by five strokes) — but for the first time in eight official weeks, Logan Jarvis didn't hit his target.

Bill Gallagher Wins the Night

With Logan falling short, Bill Gallagher took the top spot with 8 points on a target of 8 — hit the number exactly, no bonus, but a clean 47-stroke round and the only round from the field to include a birdie. Bill's birdie on the par-5 eleventh (a 4) was the second of his season and the only birdie of the night. He was actually on the green in two shots with a putt at eagle — but he left it short, then cleaned it up for the birdie.

He also parred hole 18 for a positive finish. It's his fifth consecutive official week meeting his target, and he's now met his target in seven of nine official weeks. In a season where he's been the quiet consistency story, Bill just keeps stringing together the kind of scorecards that don't blow the doors off any single week — but reliably put him in the hunt.

Kevin Kearns Grinds Out His Target

Kevin Kearns matched his target of 7 exactly for a 7-point round. He parred three holes — 10, 11, and 18 — which is remarkable given how many blanks made up the middle of his card. He shot 48 strokes, the third-lowest score of the night behind Logan (42) and Bill Gallagher (47). After last week's five-point disaster, Kearns bounced back the way he's been doing all season — by playing the holes that suit him and shrugging off the ones that don't.

Tom Wieland: Seven In a Row (Adjusted)

Tom Wieland posted 5 points on a target of 5 — no bonus, but target met, and it's now been seven consecutive official appearances where Wieland has met his target (with one absence in the middle). He bogeyed five holes and had a rough hole 16 (a 9) but did what Wieland always seems to do: found enough points to get where he needed to be.

Streaks End All Over the Place

Ted Cowles missed his target for the second consecutive week (3 on a 5), officially ending what had been the league's most consistent streak of the season. Chris McKone, perfect through four official appearances (all target-met), fell short with 4 on a 7. Both had triple bogeys, doubles, and quads that they couldn't grind their way out of.

The reversion showed up everywhere. Where last week the field averaged 9.8 Stableford points on the front nine, this week it averaged 5.5 on the back — right around where the season's back-nine numbers were sitting a month ago. Kevin Gallagher, who'd been one of the most consistent scorers all season, posted just 2 points on a target of 8. His only scoring hole: a par on hole 16, where somehow he managed a 5 while three other players made 9.

The Hole 16 Massacre

Speaking of hole 16 — this week, the par-5 sixteenth ate three players alive. Chris McKone, Len Stadnicki, and Tom Wieland all posted 9s. Bill Gallagher and John Gallagher both made double-bogey 7. Kevin Gallagher (par 5) was the only player to make par, while Ted Cowles, Dave Deyette, Logan Jarvis, and Kevin Kearns all scraped by with bogey 6s. Five doubles or worse, four bogeys, one par. The par-5 that had been progressively softening all season showed it still has teeth.

Hole 11 Continues to Dominate

The par-5 eleventh — now firmly the friendliest hole on the course — gave up five pars and Bill Gallagher's birdie. Six of ten players scored at or under par. Dave Deyette, Logan Jarvis, Kevin Kearns, Chris McKone, and Len Stadnicki all made 5. It's now yielded 12 pars and 3 birdies on the season, both the most of any hole.

Where the Pars Came From

Twelve pars on the night across seven different holes:

• Hole 11: Dave Deyette, Logan Jarvis, Kevin Kearns, Chris McKone, Len Stadnicki (5 + Bill's birdie)
• Hole 18: Bill Gallagher, Kevin Kearns
• Hole 10: Kevin Kearns
• Hole 12: John Gallagher
• Hole 14: Logan Jarvis
• Hole 15: Logan Jarvis
• Hole 16: Kevin Gallagher

Logan Jarvis: 3 pars. Kevin Kearns: 3 pars. Everyone else: 1 apiece.

By the Numbers

Ten players, 1 birdie, 12 pars, 27 bogeys, 3 targets met, zero bonus points earned. That last stat is a first for the season — no other week has produced a shutout on bonuses. The 2026 season birdie count climbs to ten.

The Bonus-Points Race Heading Into the Final Week

Nine official weeks are complete. One official week to go before the first-half break. The bonus-points leaderboard is now the tightest it's been all season:

• John Gallagher: 23
• Logan Jarvis: 22
• Bill Gallagher: 17
• Len Stadnicki: 16

John holds a one-point lead on Logan Jarvis. His father Bill is within striking distance in third if he posts another bomb like his June 2 or June 9 rounds. And Stadnicki is not out of it either. One week to settle it.

Prize Money for the First Half

The first-half prizes are: $100 for first place, $65 for second, $35 for third. Total pot: $200. Next Tuesday, July 7, determines who takes home what. If John Gallagher plays a normal average round and Logan does the same, John probably holds the top spot. But this is Logan Jarvis, and Logan has already turned in three career weeks in the last month, so predicting is a fool's errand.

Attendance Watch

Five absent this week. The three players who haven't shown up all year (still gone). Bill Oravec absent again. And Joe Alvarez, back to full absent status after his brief cameo in the parking lot last week. Nothing to add on that front.

Looking Ahead

Next week is the final week of the first half. Real money on the line. Bill Gallagher, his son John, and Logan Jarvis will decide the top three. The back nine reminded everyone this week that it hasn't fully surrendered. And somewhere out there, Kevin Gallagher is presumably thinking about how a 2-point round on a target of 8 was not what he had planned for a season-closing tune-up.

The streaks ended. The bonuses dried up. And the race is on.

On to Week 13 — the finale of Half One.

2026 - Week 8

Airways Golf League — Week 11 Recap: June 23, 2026

The eighth official week of the season

 Tuesday at Airways was the night the front nine officially gave up. Eight players took the field. Seven met their target. The field averaged 9.8 Stableford points — a new season high, on any nine, in any week. Twenty-one pars were recorded across the field. Two birdies fell. Hole 3, the season's notorious tyrant, surrendered its first par of 2026 to Logan Jarvis. And John Gallagher took over the bonus-points race in the process.

The front nine has been broken. Logan Jarvis tied his own season low and set new personal records. And in a season suddenly full of star turns, John Gallagher's was the biggest of the night.

Logan Jarvis: Six Pars and a Tied Season Low

Logan Jarvis shot 39 for the second straight week — six over par. He parred holes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, and added bogey points on 1, 5, and 9. That's six pars in a single round, a new season record (eclipsing the 5-par marks set by John Gallagher and Kevin Gallagher in the two weeks prior). He also scored at least one Stableford point on every hole for the third consecutive week — a feat no other player has managed even once this season.

Final tally: 15 points on a target of 13, two bonus points, target met for the seventh time in eight official weeks.

The 29-Hole Points Streak

The streak that began on hole 17 of his June 2 round has now extended through Tuesday's full nine — and Logan has scored at least one Stableford point on 29 consecutive holes. That's the equivalent of three-plus rounds without a single blank hole. Across that same stretch, the rest of the league has averaged 3-4 blank holes per player per round.

Through eight official weeks, Logan now has 27 pars and 5 birdies on the season — both league highs by significant margins. Kevin Gallagher is second in pars (22), Kevin Kearns is third (19), and nobody else has more than one birdie.

Hole 3 Finally Falls

Across five previous front-nine visits this season — fifty-one rounds played — hole 3 had yielded exactly zero pars. The toughest hole at Airways had earned a reputation as the only par-resistant hole on the course, the place where scorecards went to die.

On Tuesday, Logan Jarvis parred it. A 4 on the par-4 third. The hole has now surrendered one par all year, and Logan Jarvis owns it. The hole still played to a 6.2 average and ate up everyone else (John Gallagher and Kevin Gallagher both posted 8s), but the streak is over. Hole 3 is no longer undefeated.

John Gallagher Takes the Bonus Lead

John Gallagher's late-season run has officially arrived. After his nine-bonus-point eruption on June 2, John posted another big one this week: 12 Stableford points on a target of 5, seven bonus points. He birdied the par-3 seventh (a 2 — his first birdie of the season, and the season's eighth overall), parred holes 5, 6, and 9, and turned in a 45-stroke round.

The bonus he picked up vaulted him past Logan Jarvis on the official-season bonus-points leaderboard. After eight weeks, the standings now read: John Gallagher 23, Logan Jarvis 22, Bill Gallagher 17, Len Stadnicki 16. The race to the top of the bonus column is officially on, with one Gallagher in the lead.

Chris McKone: Four for Four

Chris McKone has now played four official weeks this season and met his target in every one of them. The first three were modest — 6, 5, 6. This week was a different story: 11 Stableford points on a target of 5, six bonus points. He birdied the par-4 sixth (a 3 — the ninth birdie of the season) and parred hole 5 along the way. After early-May 8s and 9s on his card, McKone has quietly become one of the most reliable players in the league — and now one of the most efficient.

His season-bonus tally jumps to 8, and his 4-for-4 target-met record is the only spotless attendance/performance combination left in the league.

The John Gallagher Drive on 9

 

Worth its own paragraph. John Gallagher's drive on the par-4 ninth was, by all accounts, struck pure. The ball came down near the green, bounced, and rolled off the back by about a foot. That's a tee shot reaching the back edge of a par-4 green in regulation, by any reasonable interpretation. The ball came to rest just over the back.

From there John got it onto the green, two-putted, and walked off with a par 4. A drive that ran off the back of the green, and a par to show for it. File under: good problem to have.

The Joe Alvarez Situation, Part Two

 Joe Alvarez arrived at the golf course on Tuesday. He drove into the parking lot. He parked. And then he noticed it was raining — a light drizzle, by reports — and he never got out of his car. He turned around and went home.

The league's official scoring system, having been through this once already in May, recorded him as absent. We will note, with the same charitable spirit we extended last time, that the other eight players got rained on too. They played the round. Joe noted the precipitation from inside his vehicle, made an executive decision, and re-entered traffic.

It is one thing to leave a course mid-round when the weather turns. It is another to leave a parking lot before the round begins. The Joe Alvarez weather sensitivity index continues to be an active area of league research.

Kevin Kearns Has a Rough One

After last week's 11-point bounce-back, Kevin Kearns came back to earth — hard. He posted 4 points on a target of 9, his worst official-week miss of the season (missed by 5). His scoring line: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1. Four consecutive bogey points to close after five consecutive blanks to open. He shot 51 — his highest stroke total of any front-nine round this year. Tough week.

Bill Gallagher Stays Steady

Bill Gallagher posted 10 points on a target of 8 — two bonus points and his third straight target-met official week. He parred holes 1, 6, and 9, bogeyed four more (2, 3, 5, 7), and shot 44 — the second-lowest score of the night. After his lefty-rescue heroics last week, Bill's consistency is becoming the quiet story of the season. He's now met his target in six of eight official weeks.

Kevin Gallagher Returns Loud

Kevin Gallagher, missing last week for the first time all season, came back and posted 9 points on a target of 7 (two bonus points). Four pars (holes 4, 6, 7, and 8) and a bogey on 9. Through eight official weeks, Kevin G. now has 22 season pars, second only to Logan.

Dave Deyette and Len Stadnicki

Dave Deyette posted 8 points on a target of 5 with three bonus points — his second straight strong week. He parred holes 6 and 8 and added four bogey points (1, 5, 7, 9). The Bogey Whisperer continues to whisper.

Len Stadnicki posted 9 points on a target of 5 — four bonus points, his second straight target-met week with bonus points. Two pars (7 and 9), five bogey points (1, 2, 4, 5, 8), and a 45-stroke round. He's now met his target in five of seven official weeks.

The Front Nine's Stunning Turnaround

Front-nine point averages by visit this season: 6.0, 4.5, 4.9, 4.6, 7.2, and now 9.8. Last week the front nine produced 16 pars — already a season high. This week it produced 21 pars and 2 birdies. Whatever was wrong with the front nine in April and May has been thoroughly fixed.

Hole 6 deserves special mention. The par-4 sixth gave up five pars (Dave Deyette, Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis) and a birdie (Chris McKone) — six of eight players scored at or under par on the hole. It's now played to averages of 5.4, 5.2, 5.6, 5.9, 5.2, and 4.2 in its six visits. The most dramatic single-week improvement of any hole on the course.

Where the Pars Came From

Twenty-one pars on the night — another new season high, eclipsing last week's 17 — across nine different holes (every front-nine hole):

• Hole 6: Deyette, Bill G., John G., Kevin G., Jarvis (5 pars + McKone's birdie)
• Hole 4: Kevin G., Jarvis (2)
• Hole 7: Kevin G., Jarvis, Stadnicki (3 pars + John G.'s birdie)
• Hole 8: Deyette, Kevin G., Jarvis (3)
• Hole 9: Bill G., John G., Stadnicki (3)
• Hole 5: John G., McKone (2)
• Hole 1: Bill G.
• Hole 2: Jarvis
• Hole 3: Jarvis (the first hole 3 par of 2026!)

Logan Jarvis: 6 pars (season record). Kevin Gallagher: 4 pars. John Gallagher and Bill Gallagher: 3 pars each (with John adding a birdie). Chris McKone: 1 par and a birdie.

By the Numbers

Eight players, 2 birdies, 21 pars (season high), 24 bogeys, 7 targets met. The 2026 season birdie count climbs to nine. The official-season bonus-points race tightens at the top, with John Gallagher (23) edging Logan Jarvis (22) for the lead. The season par leaderboard reads: Jarvis 27, Kevin Gallagher 22, Kearns 19.

Attendance Watch

Seven absent this week. The three regulars who haven't shown up at all in 2026 stay missing. Bill Oravec absent again. Ted Cowles took the night off after his miracle chip-in heroics last week. Tom Wieland's six-week target-met streak goes on hold with his first absence in seven weeks. And Joe Alvarez was, briefly, present — until he wasn't.

The front nine has been broken. Logan keeps doing things that don't quite seem real. John Gallagher took the bonus lead. Chris McKone is perfect. And one player encountered weather that, for him, was disqualifying.

On to Week 12.
