Congratulations to the Grand Champions - Jeff Baker and Dick Baker. In a close match, they beat George Muller and Les Richmond 10.5 to 9.5 points. In the overall contest between the divisions, the World division took 140.5 points to the Lansing division's 119.5 points. So, the World division won the night. However, the Lansing division took the overall season by 293.5 points to 266.5 points.
I have compiled some statistics from the season and listed them below for your amusement.
The year-end tournament will take place this week 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 with chicken cutlets, macaroni salad and tossed salad will follow. I have responses from everyone 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.
