Fore!

10/10/2021- The gruesome twosome of Harold Carruthers and Stephen Hollabaugh were the winners of the 6/6/6 tournament yesterday. They shot an even 64 with 9.5 strokes off to give them a grand score of 54.5 to take the top prize!

There was a 2nd place tie between the teams of Weatherly/Rasler and Doug Beckham/Thomas who both shot 55.5. Todd and Brian were the only team to go under gross par with a 61. 4th place went to the pairing of Gehrts and Emery who finished a 56 while we saw a 5th place tie between the father/son Eby duo and the team of Kuzmich and Danaher.

If you're wondering how I scored this tournament. I took a team handicap (Carruthers/Hollabaugh had 29 pops combined), subtracted the number of pops used on the 1st 6 holes (10 in Harold and Stephen's case) and divided the remaining pops in half to get a final score. Yes, I was sober when I thought of this system.

Our next tournament is the final trophy tournament of 2021, the low gross/low net trophy tournaments (resurrected from the glorious year of 2004). I'll award a trophy for lowest gross score and lowest net score in each flight. In the event of a tie, I'll use the method of comparing scorecards, starting with lowest back 9 score, then if needed, lowest score on the final 6 holes, final 3 holes, and final hole. Ideally, a playoff would be better but I have to get these trophies ordered.

The next tournament is also a SHOTGUN start at 7:30 so we can have our first men's club meeting since February 2020. We'll nominate and elect new officers and hopefully get some members to help with committees. We will also discuss the awards banquet, which has been pushed back to November 20, still at Cattlemen's.

Also, we are accepting applications for 2022. Please pay cash or check (made out to Indian Creek Men's Club). If Venmo is easier for you, let me know and I'll give you my Venmo handle. Hope you all join us in 2022! I'll release the schedule as soon as it's approved by Indian Creek. Have a good two weeks off!
