Congratulations to this year's winners - Bob Knapp and Gary Mullen in the Lansing division and Ted Capogrossi and Bob Brackett in the World division. Both teams are first time winners. Bob and Gary finished last in the Lansing division last year and Ted and Bob were the lowest finishing team in the World division that came back this year. Meanwhile, last year's winners both finished near the bottom of the standings in their respective divisions this year, so it's been a real topsy-turvy year.
I have compiled some statistics from the season and listed them below for your amusement.
The year-end tournament will take place this Wednesday, Sept. 2nd 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 assessed penalty strokes to restore the balance, so no last minute ringers. Also, no new subs.
