Fore!

Congratulations to Todd Weatherly! He shot an outstanding 67 to win the club championship for the 2nd year in a row and 3rd time overall. He was steady all day, shooting even par on the front and 3 over on the back. Well done Todd!
Congratulations to Larry Goodwin! He was our low net winner, shooting an aggregate 8 under for the three rounds.

In the flights, Matt Quinn won 1st place in the first flight and Steve Van Norman earned 2nd place in the first flight. Jack Jessen shot an even net par to edge David Bridgeford by one stroke in the 2nd flight. Ken Nash was our 3rd flight winner, beating out Dave Talbot by four strokes. Dave claims the 2nd place trophy. Congratulations to all the winners!

All players will receive their trophies on November 12 (as will the winners of the previous trophy tournaments and subsequent ones on October 22). Why November 12? Well, that's our annual awards banquet at Cattlemen's in Roseville. The delicious dinner is free to any mens club member (guest prices to be announced soon). We hope all members can attend a truly enjoyable evening. I will present a sign up sheet for the banquet at the next tournament.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2017 season. If you are a current member who would like to continue with our club, the renewal is $70. For new members, the cost is $80 and that is good for a full 15 months! An NCGA card (good for discounts at many local courses), your handicap index, eligibility for qualifying tournaments, dinner at the annual awards banquet, and participation in our tournaments is included in the price.

I plan on releasing the schedule for 2017 this week. Many of the tournament formats this year will continue, but I have a couple of dates where I don't know what I would like to do. If you have a suggestion for a tournament, please let me know. If your tournament is a hit, I will give you all the credit. If it's not a hit, I will blame Todd because he beat me two years in a row in the club championship. Either way, you and I win.

Our next tournament is a fun one called the 5 club monte. It's what you think. You will play 18 holes but you are only allowed 5 clubs to use for the entire tournament. Yes, your putter is one of the five clubs used. Tee times will start at 7:30 and the date is October 8. I hope all of you can make it. If not, hopefully you can come to some of the other ones to close out 2016, like the 6/6/6, the 2-man best ball, and the bottle tournament.

Enjoy your two weeks off, get your applications into the pro shop, and I will see you October 8 with a golf bag of 5 clubs!

Matt
