Week 12

Four more weeks left in the season. Last night is August 28.

The team of Alvarez / Cowles keep rolling along, taking down last year’s champions of Kearns / Russell. It would have been closer if they added Kevin’s score correctly!

Next up for Joe and Ted is: Rob and ???.

With 4 weeks left:

Team standings:

Alvarez / Cowles (42.50) with a widening gap of 8.00 points over Hemphill / Oravec (34.50) and a 10.50 lead over Kearns / Russell (32.00).

Individual Golfer standings:

Ted (17.00) has a slim 1.50 over his playing partner Joe (15.5) and John (15.5) and a 3 point lead of Ed (14.00).

Gallagher vs Gallagher:

As predicted Gallagher won!
(see the stats to find out that John beat dad)

SandBagger of the Week:

And once again, it was my opponent who shot a fine 28 net (which is the 2nd time this has happened to in a few weeks): Rob "How Many Strokes AreYou Giving Me?" Pierce. Great round Rob!

As Joe would say: quit whining!!

Byrdie Club:

Nada

End-of-the-Year tournament:

Rolling Meadows

Sunday October 7th 11 am

Here is the link to the golf course: http://www.rollingmeadowscountryclub.com/

If anyone can not make the tournament, please let Meyer and myself know.

Subs for next week: Gene, Bill G., Hermann, and Tom (plus Abbott and Costello)

It’s only Wednesday and I have 4 subs ready to go for next week. This could get a little sticky, since I asked 7 subs to play next week.

Official PGA rules (but not a Phoenix rule):

Hitting the wrong ball is a 2 stroke penalty and loss of hole. So make sure you look at the ball your going to hit and every once in a while, I will out drive Lenny.

If you need a sub, let me know.

Week 11

Week 11 is by the wayside. 4 more weeks of "regular" league play and the last week is the Championship round. Hopefully it means something this year not like last year when Kearns / Russell had it sewn-up going into the last week.

I want to thank Airways for setting up a closest to the pin on the 7th hole. Many tried and many failed but one prevailed: Gene Patrizzi. Gene’s shot landed 12’ 7” from the stick. Gene received a 5 pack of Pinnacles (donated by Airways). Gene then went to the rest of the foresome so he could show them all what he won! Great shot Gene!!

So with that said: Alvarez / Cowles are distancing themselves from the rest of the league. They have a 5 point lead over the second place team of Hemphill / Oravec. But there is still time for the rest of the league to make their move!

Week 9

We’re starting to get the extra roll on the ball, now!

Did everyone notice the "redirection" of the stream along side the 6th hole? I got a close up look (twice)!

We had another 1 vs. 2 last night. Well the 1st place team of Alvarez / Cowles schooled the team of Hemphill / Oravec. Enough said..

What I want to say about our 4-some golf game, as a group we ……. Enough said.

Every time Mike Galiszuski walked by, I wanted to take my hat off and put my right hand over my heart!

SandBagger of the Week:

Tie between Manny "Mr. Consistent" Russell and Nick "Costello" Billeter, both shooting a fine net 31. Great round Gentlemen!

Byrdie Club:

Rob "I Want a New Partner" Pierce getting his bird on the par 4 6th hole and Manny "Mr. Consistent" Russell getting his bird on the ‘Hole from Hell’ par 4 3rd hole.

I heard Rob’s birdie was so fantastic that he got a "byrdie" pitcher and half, of beer!

Great shooting Gentlemen!

Rumor of the Week:

Manny had a 33 going into the last hole.

Subs needed for next week: Gene
