This year, we have co-champions in the Lansing division - Scott Steiner and Pat Mikula took just enough points to pull into a tie for first place with Rod Griffiths and Curt Vanderbilt. Over in the World division, Ed Dow, Sr. and Al Maccou have now won back-to-back division championships. Congratulations to all of 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, Aug. 31st 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.

Low gross:Lansing Division - 39 - Doug Boles and Jeff Bowman
