The first place team in the US Open division, Jerry Gillette and Tom Leahy finally got beaten badly, but it was too late as they still ended up with an eighteen point lead over the second place team of Stuart Thomas and Ted Carey.
So, congratulations to this year's winners!
I have compiled some statistics from the season and listed them below for your amusement.
The year-end tournament will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5th with a shotgun start at our usual time of 5:15pm. The format is 9-hole four-man captain and crew with teams formed by matching up two different league teams. A banquet will follow. I have responses from most people on whether or not they can make it, but if your circumstances should change and you find a sub, please let me know ASAP. Any last minute subs that cause the team's total handicap to decrease significantly will be accessed penalty strokes to restore the balance, so no last minute ringers. Also, no new subs.
The secretary of the Tuesday night league (George) is running a Calcutta tournament that is open to all league players. It is taking place on Sunday, Sept. 30th and is $25 per person. The format is four-man captain and crew with teams being drawn on Friday, Sept. 27th at 7pm. There will be beer and soda on the course and a skins game for $20 per team. See George or myself if you are interested.
