Congratulations to this year's winners - John Payne and Tom Burke in the Lansing division and Ed Dow, Sr. and Al Maccou in the World division.
Since there is no scheduled golf for next week, it would be a perfect time for the two teams to get together and have it out for an overall champion. We've never scheduled such a match, but occasionally, the two teams do get together and have at it.
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. 1st 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.
