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.

2026 - Week 7

 

Airways Golf League — Week 10 Recap: June 16, 2026

The seventh official week of the season

If there has been a single defining trend of the 2026 Airways season, it's the steady, week-by-week improvement of the back nine — and on Tuesday, the back nine outdid itself yet again. Eight players took the field. Seven met their target. The field averaged 8.5 Stableford points — the highest of any week this season — and on this same back nine that opened the year averaging 3.1 points, players are now talking about pars instead of survival.

The other defining trend: Logan Jarvis is on a heater that's becoming difficult to describe.

Logan Jarvis Breaks 40

Logan Jarvis shot 39. Three under his usual best of the season, four over par, and the first time anyone in this league has posted a sub-40 round all year. He birdied hole 11 (his second birdie on that hole this season), parred holes 10, 16, and 17, and added five bogey points to round things out. Final tally: 15 Stableford points on a target of 12. Three bonus points. Target met for the sixth time in seven official weeks. His scoring streak of double-digit Stableford rounds is now at four in a row.

The 20-Hole Points Streak

Worth its own headline. From the par-5 sixteenth of his June 2 round (his last hole without a point) through every hole he played on June 9 (all 9) and June 16 (all 9), Logan has now scored at least one Stableford point on 20 consecutive holes. Twenty holes. No blanks. No big numbers. No giving anything back to the course.

For context: across the rest of the league this Tuesday, the eight players combined for 30 blank holes — and Logan was 0 of them. Through seven official weeks, Logan now leads the league in pars (21), birdies (5), and bonus points (20). The next closest in any of those categories is at 19 pars, 1 birdie, 16 bonus points.

Kevin Kearns Bounces Back Hard

After last week's target miss and the now-infamous Wieland trash talk that did not age well, Kevin Kearns returned this week and posted 11 Stableford points on a target of 8 — three bonus points and his best Stableford total of the official season. He shot 42 strokes (the second-lowest of the night), parred four holes (11, 12, 16, and 18), and quietly produced one of his most efficient rounds of the year. The Kearns from Week 1 has been threatening to come back for a few weeks now. This week he showed up.

Ted Cowles's Miracle Chip-In

The streak had to end sometime. Ted Cowles had met his target in five consecutive official weeks — the only player in the league with a perfect target-met record. On Tuesday, he posted 4 points on a target of 5 and missed by one. The streak ends.

But the story of his round is one chip shot.

On the par-3 thirteenth — historically one of the toughest par-3s on the course — Ted somehow found himself in position to chip from off the green, and he holed it. Chipped it in. For par. A miracle chip-in for par on a hole the field had been making doubles and triples on for two months. It was the only par Ted scored all night, and it was the kind of shot that, on any other day, would have been the lead of the recap.

Without that one swing, Ted's Stableford total would have been 2 points instead of 4. The man got within one point of his target on a card otherwise full of doubles — and the miracle on 13 was the difference. There is no shame in a streak that ends this way.

Bill Gallagher Saves Bogey on 16 with His Lefty 5-Iron

The story of Bill Gallagher's round was unfolding nicely — par on 11, steady bogeys, target on track — when he got into trouble on the par-5 sixteenth and found himself in a spot that called for some creative thinking. The solution: he reached into his own bag, pulled out a left-handed 5-iron he keeps on hand for exactly these situations (a hand-me-down from his son Kevin), took a swing as a lefty, and produced a recovery good enough to save bogey on the hole.

This is the kind of moment that lives in league lore. Bill Gallagher, a right-handed golfer, carrying a left-handed 5-iron in his bag, using it to escape trouble on hole 16, and salvaging a single Stableford point in the process. He finished the round with 9 points on a target of 7 (two bonus), a par on 11, a par on 18, and the immortal lefty-rescue on 16.

Dave Deyette's Best Round of the Season

Dave Deyette posted 8 points on a target of 4 — four bonus points, his best total of the season — and parred hole 11. He bogeyed six other holes (10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18), which is exactly the kind of round the Bogey Whisperer was built for. After two consecutive front-nine rounds with one bonus point each, the back nine handed him the breakout. His season-bonus tally moves to 8.

Len Stadnicki Goes Big Again

Len Stadnicki, whose last back-nine appearance was a 1-point disaster, returned to the back nine and posted 8 points on a target of 4 with four bonus points. Two pars (holes 10 and 18), four bogeys, and one of his best rounds of the season. After his 8-point round on the front nine last week, he's now strung together back-to-back season-best stretches.

John Gallagher Quietly Excellent

John Gallagher posted 7 points on a target of 4 with three bonus points. Two pars (holes 14 and 18), three bogeys, and a 47-stroke round — his lowest of the year. After last week's regression, John bounced back nicely. His season bonus-point tally now sits at 16 — second only to Logan.

Tom Wieland: Six In a Row

Tom Wieland posted 6 points on a target of 4 — two bonus points and his sixth consecutive official week meeting his target. He's now the only player with a longer active target-met streak than Logan Jarvis. He parred hole 11, bogeyed four holes (10, 14, 15, 18), and survived a stretch of 7s on 12, 13, 16, and 17. The man's bonus-points total is now at 13.

Hole 11: Now the Friendliest Hole on the Course

If you'd told someone in April that hole 11 — the par-5 that played to a 7.0 average across its first two visits — would become the easiest hole at Airways, they would have laughed at you. But here we are. This week hole 11 surrendered five pars (Dave Deyette, Bill Gallagher, Kevin Kearns, Len Stadnicki, Tom Wieland) and a birdie (Logan Jarvis). Six of eight players scored at or under par. The hole's per-week scoring average has now dropped each visit: 7.0, 7.0, 6.0, 6.0, 5.2. It's one of three holes that have surrendered multiple birdies this season — joining holes 9 and 18, each of which has given up two.

Hole 18: The Closing-Hole Renaissance Continues

Four pars on the closing hole this week — Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Kearns, and Len Stadnicki — plus bogey points from three others. The par-4 eighteenth has now played to averages of 6.2, 6.5, 5.5, 4.9, and 4.4 in its five visits. The closing hole at Airways used to be where rounds went to die. Now it's where players salvage them.

Hole 16's Punishment Stretch

Not every hole was friendly. Three players posted 9s on the par-5 sixteenth (Ted Cowles, Dave Deyette, Tom Wieland), and even Bill Gallagher's celebrated lefty recovery only got him to 6 (bogey). Hole 16 gave up two pars and two bogeys among the eight players, but also collected three quadruple-bogey 9s — a reminder that this hole, while improving, still bites.

Where the Pars Came From

Seventeen pars on the night — a new season high for any week, eclipsing last week's 16 — across eight different holes:

• Hole 11: Dave Deyette, Bill Gallagher, Kevin Kearns, Len Stadnicki, Tom Wieland (5 pars)
• Hole 18: Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Kearns, Len Stadnicki (4 pars)
• Hole 10: Logan Jarvis, Len Stadnicki
• Hole 16: Logan Jarvis, Kevin Kearns
• Hole 12: Kevin Kearns
• Hole 13: Ted Cowles (the chip-in!)
• Hole 14: John Gallagher
• Hole 17: Logan Jarvis

Kevin Kearns and Logan Jarvis: 4 pars each (with Logan adding a birdie). Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Len Stadnicki: 2 pars each.

By the Numbers

Eight players, 1 birdie, 17 pars (season high), 30 bogeys, 7 targets met. The 2026 season birdie count climbs to seven — Kearns (1), Bill Gallagher (1), Jarvis (5). Logan's lead in the official-season bonus-points race extends to 20, comfortably ahead of John Gallagher (16) and Bill Gallagher (15).

Attendance Watch

Seven absent this week, including Kevin Gallagher — his first miss all season. The Gallagher brother who's been atop or near the top of the par leaderboard all year took the night off. Joe Alvarez, Chris McKone, and Bill Oravec also out, joined by the three players who haven't appeared in 2026.

The back nine kept getting friendlier. Logan kept getting better. Ted holed a chip. Bill went lefty. And Kevin Kearns reminded the league he can still play.

On to Week 11.

2026 - Week 6

Airways Golf League — Week 9 Recap: June 9, 2026

The sixth official week of the season

The front nine at Airways finally cracked. Eleven players took the field on a beautiful Tuesday and produced the best front-nine night of the year by a wide margin: 16 pars, 1 birdie, 8 players meeting their targets, and Logan Jarvis posting his best Stableford total of the season. The course that had spent April and May handing out 8s like Halloween candy turned out, on June 9, to be a course you could actually score on.

Also: Kevin Kearns picked the wrong week, the wrong opponent, and arguably the wrong tee box from which to start running his mouth.

Logan Jarvis Sets the Bar Higher

Logan Jarvis shot 40 on the front nine — six over par — and posted 15 Stableford points on a target of 11. That's a new season high, surpassing his 14 from May 19. He birdied hole 9 (a 3 on a par 4 — the same hole and same score Kevin Kearns birdied way back in Week 1), parred holes 2, 6, and 7, and added five bogey points for good measure.

Here's the wild part: Logan scored at least one Stableford point on every single hole. Nine holes, nine scoring holes. No zeroes anywhere on the card. In a league where the average round produces three or four blank holes, posting points on every hole is a different kind of golf entirely.

Four bonus points pushed his official-season bonus-points lead back out to 17. This is now the fifth time in six official weeks Logan has hit double-digit Stableford points. He's posted 40, 42, and 40 in his last three front-nine visits to the course where the field's average had been hovering around 47. He's also tied for the season lead in pars at 18.

Kevin Gallagher Joins the Five-Par Club

Just one week after his brother John shocked the league by posting 5 pars in a single round — setting a new season-per-round record — Kevin Gallagher did exactly the same thing. Five pars on holes 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9. The season record now has back-to-back holders, and they live in the same household.

Kevin's 12 Stableford points on a target of 6 was good for six bonus points, doubled his target, and pulled him into a tie with Logan Jarvis atop the season par leaderboard (18 each). His 43 strokes was the second-lowest score of the night. He's quietly built one of the most consistent ball-striking seasons in the league, even if the bonus-points column hadn't always rewarded him until now.

Len Stadnicki Comes Back Loud

Len Stadnicki, after a one-week absence, returned with a vengeance. Target of 2; posted 8. Six bonus points — tying Kevin Gallagher for the second-most bonus points in any single week this season (behind only John Gallagher's 9 last week). He parred hole 6, bogeyed six other holes (3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9), and the only holes that got the better of him were doubles on 1 and 2. Once he got into bogey gear after a rough start, he stayed there. The result: his best round of the season.

The Kearns-Wieland Situation

Mid-round — after several holes that had not gone according to plan — Kevin Kearns informed Tom Wieland that Wieland was bound for relegation to the women's league. The remark was, presumably, intended in the spirit of competitive ribbing. The timing was, presumably, intended to be the moment when Kearns had a comfortable advantage.

The scorecard had other ideas.

Both players shot 49 strokes. Identical raw scores, hole for hole nearly identical too — both made bogey on holes 2 and 9, both made double on hole 8, both had a 4 on the par-3 seventh. Wieland's worst hole was a quad-bogey 8 on the par-4 third. Kearns's worst hole was a triple-bogey 7 on the same hole — and another triple-bogey 7 on the par-5 fourth.

When the dust settled, Tom Wieland posted 7 Stableford points on a target of 3 (four bonus points, target crushed). Kevin Kearns posted 6 Stableford points on a target of 8 (zero bonus points, target missed by two).

Same score. Different ledgers. Different outcomes.

So if anyone is being relegated, the math may be pointing in a direction Kevin did not anticipate. Perhaps Kevin would benefit from a fresh perspective next week — say, from a set of forward tees with a different color marker on them. Just a thought. From a friend.

Meanwhile, Wieland has now met his target five weeks in a row with four of those producing bonus points. His Week 4 scoring line of zero feels like ancient history. He's quietly in fourth place on the official-season bonus-points list (11), behind only Logan, Bill Gallagher, and John Gallagher.

Hole 3 Watch

Hole 3 — undefeated all year against pars — gave up two bogeys this week (Logan Jarvis and Len Stadnicki, both with 5s) and played to a 6.9 average. That's actually the second-best the hole has played all season. But still: across five front-nine visits, hole 3 has surrendered zero pars and just five total bogeys. It remains the only hole at Airways without a par on its 2026 ledger.

Hole 7's Bogey Party

The par-3 seventh became the busiest scoring hole of the night. Of eleven players, two parred it (Kevin Gallagher and Logan Jarvis) and the other nine all bogeyed it with 4s. Every single player on the course scored a point on hole 7. There aren't many holes that can claim that.

Bill Gallagher and Dave Deyette Find Pars

Bill Gallagher posted 7 points on a target of 5 with two bonus points, parring hole 5 in the process. After his season-best 12-point round last week, he keeps the momentum — back-to-back target-met official weeks. Dave Deyette parred hole 6 and posted 6 points on a target of 5 for one bonus point. The Bogey Whisperer was true to form once again, with five bogeys among his nine holes.

Chris McKone Returns

Chris McKone, after consecutive absences, returned to the field and posted exactly his target of 5 plus a bonus point for 6 total. His opening four holes were the kind of stretch that hurts to look at — 8, 7, 8, 9 — but he closed strong with bogeys on 6 and 7 and pars on 8 and 9 to salvage the round. That's now three official weeks for McKone, and he's met his target in all three.

The Ted Cowles Streak Continues

Ted Cowles posted 6 points on a target of 4 with two bonus points — his fifth straight official week meeting his target. He's the only player in the league to have hit his target in every official appearance he's made. He bogeyed six different holes (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9) and avoided pars entirely, but the Cowles method requires no pars: it just requires steady bogey points and the occasional quad to keep things interesting.

The Struggles

John Gallagher, fresh off his nine-bonus-point round last week, came back to earth with 3 points on a target of 4. A par on hole 5 and a bogey on hole 7 were his only scoring holes — the rest of the card was doubles and triples. Sometimes the magic stays for one week and one week only. Joe Alvarez also posted 3 points on a target of 4, with a par on hole 2 his lone highlight.

Kevin Kearns's 6-point round on a target of 8 was his first official week missing his target since Week 5. Tough week to pick for it.

Where the Pars Came From

Sixteen pars on the night — a new front-nine season high — across eight different holes:

• Hole 6: Dave Deyette, Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis, Len Stadnicki (4 pars)
• Hole 5: Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Kearns (3 pars)
• Hole 2: Joe Alvarez, Logan Jarvis
• Hole 7: Kevin Gallagher, Logan Jarvis
• Hole 9: Kevin Gallagher, Chris McKone (plus Logan Jarvis's birdie)
• Hole 1: Kevin Gallagher
• Hole 4: Kevin Gallagher
• Hole 8: Chris McKone

Kevin Gallagher: 5 pars. Logan Jarvis: 3 pars and a birdie. Chris McKone: 2 pars. Bill Gallagher, John Gallagher, Kevin Kearns: 1 par each.

By the Numbers

Eleven players, 1 birdie, 16 pars (a season high), 43 bogeys (also a season high), 8 targets met. The 2026 season birdie count climbs to six — split among Kearns (1), Jarvis (4), and Bill Gallagher (1). Logan and Kevin Gallagher are tied at 18 pars for the season, with Kevin Kearns at 15.

The official-season bonus-points race after six weeks: Logan Jarvis 17, Bill Gallagher 13, John Gallagher 13, Tom Wieland 11, Len Stadnicki 8.

Attendance Watch

Four absent this week — fewer than last week. The three regulars who haven't shown up at all in 2026 stay missing. Bill Oravec is the only other player out tonight, his second straight skip.

The front nine softened. Logan Jarvis set a new personal best for the season — and posted points on every hole. Kevin Gallagher matched his brother's five-par record. Len Stadnicki returned in style. And Kevin Kearns may want to keep certain mid-round opinions to himself going forward.

On to Week 10.
