9/15/2024- Congratulations to our new Club Champion Mr. Todd Johnson! His score of 67 yesterday gave him the title by 4 strokes over the defending champion Mr. Todd Weatherly but that doesn't tell the full story. After taking a quadruple bogey on Hole 7, Todd J. found himself behind by 6 strokes with 11 to play. He then went 2 under on the remaining holes including nearly holing out for eagle on #14 (tap in birdie), draining a 30 foot birdie putt on 17 and closing it out by sticking his final tee shot 1 foot from the pin on #18. An incredible comeback and a well deserved win!

Congratulations to our low net champion Mr. Jack Jessen. He played steady all three rounds. His birdie on hole 17 helped him win the championship by a single shot over Rick Walker. Jack also came back from a four stroke deficit to win the title!

Congratulations to six other gentlemen who won some hardware yesterday. Rick Walker was the winner in the first flight by a single shot over Todd Weatherly. Despite a tough back 9, Bill Danaher still took home 1st place in the 2nd flight as he finished four shots up on Curt Eby, the second place winner. Michael Thabault was the top spot in flight three with a net 195, six shots better Cliff Eby who will get the second place trophy. A very competitive and exciting Club Championship this year! Well played to all of you!

As tradition ordains, I follow the tense Club Championship with kind of a silly tournament so our next one is called 6/6/6. There might be a less evil name for this but I like this one. It's a two man team event. The first six holes are four-ball (both players play their own ball through complete of the hole and you take the best net score), the second six are scramble, and the final six are modified alternate shot. Combined and modified handicaps will be used. Mind that this tournament will take place 3 weeks from yesterday on October 5. Because of the format, the entry cost is $10 (no putts, traditional skins, or net skins).

October is also the start of our membership drive. We will begin accepting renewals and new members for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025. We hope to have you all back and we invite you to bring some friends out to join us. If you are a returning member, the renewal fee is $75 and there's no need to complete an application if all your information is the same. New members the cost is $85 and we will need a completed application.

I've completed a tentative schedule. It's pending approval from the club and the Club Championship dates are pending our vote in October but I will get it posted within the next couple of weeks. Finally, remember the awards banquet on November 9. Cost is free to current members and one guest. Many of you have signed up and some are still waiting. Still plenty of time to get in on it!

Next time I see you it will finally be Fall! Have a great three weeks and I'll see you then.
