Congratulations to our league champions, Deron Snyder and Steve Sweazey, who defeated second-place team Ed Dow and David Dow 10.5 to 9.5. The rest of the playoff teams ended up like this: 3rd Place - VanOstrand/Anderson, 4th - Gillette/Whitaker, 5th - Sullivan/Myers, 6th - Steiner/Mikula, 7th - Biviano/Tinker, 8th - Schwarz/Capogrossi.
In the mini-tournament, Mike Scott and Riley Brewer won with 37.5 total points. Steve Miller and Derran Smith took second place with 36.5 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 breast sandwiches, baked beans, mac salad and tossed salad will follow. The banquet will happen rain or shine, so please show up. 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 please.
