Week 16 (Final)

Great night for the last "official" round of Phoenix Golf League.

First off, congratulations to the team of Tom Confrey and Ed Rudman – this year’s Phoenix Golf League Champions!  Not only did they win the Championship, they beat Abbott and Costello by 2.5 points, too!!

I really didn’t think it could be done, but someone tied Ted Cowles (27 net) for the low net of year.  See SandBagger of the Week to see which golfer was waiting for the last week of golf to have his best game of the year.  He did it with a sore back and he did it against me. 

Ed Rudman took top honors in the individual golfer standings with  23 total points.  Ed started with a 18 hcp and ended with a 13 hcp.  Great year Ed!

It was good to see my Big Brother Bill back on the course. 

Even though the league has ended, we usually still golf on Tuesdays.  We’ll send out an email to see who is golfing next Tuesday. 

if not, we’ll see you at the tournament.

Week 15

Well, we adverted a wash-out by having Joe and Ted go off 1^st and it turned out to be a beautiful night.   I was getting nervous about having Larry and Gene being 1^st off.

It looks like it’s a 2 horse race for the Championship round, between league leaders Confrey / Rudman and Kearns / Russell.  TC and Ed have a slim 1.5 point lead over Kevin and Manny.  Can the 2 time past Championship team of Kearns / Russell, knock off the rookie team of Confrey / Rudman??

I guess my lucky Red Sox shirt didn’t work on Kevin.  Now that I think about it, Kevin’s a Red Sox fan and that cancelled the luck out.  Needless to say, Lenny and I got our butts handed to us by Kevin and Manny.  I lost my bet with Kevin and had to pay him a $1.

Ed Rudman is still the Individual League leader with 21 points, with Kevin a mere 2 points back.  Kevin can only tie Ed but with any points won by Ed or points loss by Kevin and Ed will be the out-right winner.

Ted Cowles is still holding on strong to the Leagues Low Net leader with 27.  Unless someone is padding their handicap and goes low next week, his score will be tough to beat!

We’re going off the front nine next week and here are the starting tee times.  Since we’re going off earlier, I moved up the times by 10 minutes.

4:00        Abbot and Costello         vs            Billeter / Stadnicki

4:08        Pierce / Wieland               vs            Galiszuski / Williams

4:16        Hemphill / Oravec            vs            Deyette / Stadnicki

4:26        Gallagher / Keilich            vs            Alvarez / Cowles

4:34        Myers / Patrizzi                 vs            Frankel / White

4:42        Kearns / Russell                vs            Confrey / Rudman          

SandBagger of the Week:

Bill Oravec – gave a good try to take low net away from Ted by shooting a net 31.  Good round Bill!

Byrdie Club:

2 returnees: John Hemphill, who shot his bird on the every popular par 4 14^th hole and Kevin "$1" Kearns, who bagged his bird on the par 5 11^th hole.  Great shots Gentlemen!

Eagle Club:

Nada – Eagle Joe said, this is one of the quietest club he every been in!

Week 14

Can the weather hold for 2 more weeks?  Another beautiful night for golf.

Tom Wieland and myself had a gentleman's bet last night.  The bet was: Tom’s coral (pink) shirt against my "new" lucky Red Sox shirt, whoever lost could not wear their coral (pink) shirt  for the rest of the (short) season. 

1 week to go before the Championship round and Confrey / Rudman now have a slim 2 point lead over Frankel / White.  While Kearns / Russell slip back to 3^rd place (4^th if you count the league leaders of Abbott / Costello).  Next up for Confrey / Rudman will be the team of Galiszuski / Williams.

Ed Rudman is still sitting on top of the Individual Leader board, who has a 2 point lead over Kevin. Meyer and Lenny are a mere 2.5 points back while Manny dropped to 4 points back.  Ed controls his own destiny.  Win and he’s in. 

Kevin’s already betting with his next weeks opponent but Kevin's opponent will be wearing his "new" lucky Red Sox shirt and will be ready for his challenge.

Ted with 2 more weeks, looks like he has a lock on low net for the league.  Hermann and I gave it a shot last night but came up a little short (see SandBagger of the Week)

  

SandBagger of the Week:

There was a tie between Hermann "Who Needs a Pitching Wedge" Keilich and Dave "Bring it on Kearns" Deyette who both shot a net round of 29.  Good round Gentlemen!

Byrdie Club:

All returnees: Dave Deyette birdied the par 4, 1^st hole while Tom Confrey and Ted Cowles shot their birds on the par 4, 9^th hole.  Manny Russell bagged his birdie on the par 4, 2^nd hole.  Great shots Gentlemen!

Eagle Club:

Nobody – Eagle Joe wants company.

Championship week tee times will go out in reverse standing order.  Abbott / Costello will go out as if they’re in 12 place.  So what ever your teams standing is..

Starting at 4:10:

12^th vs 11^th          

10^th vs 9^th

8^th vs 7^th

6^th vs 5^th

4^th vs 3^rd

2^nd vs 1^st
