January Monthly
For January’s monthly we will be playing off the tee pads for all 27 holes. Handicaps have been based off last years scores for your 9 holes from the teepads in the monthlies that you played. The formula used for normal monthly handicapping has been used for your teepad handicap. I’ll use Mike as an example because he is reigning Champion and threw the most rounds last year. Mike competed 11 times in 2011. His lowest 5 rounds from the teepads averaged 25.80. That’s 1.20 below par for 9 holes. 92% of 1.20 is 1.10. Multiply 1.10 by 3 and you get 3.31. Multiplying by 3 because we are throwing 27 holes not 9. Mike’s handicap is add 3. The rest are Hal & John +12, Darren +7, Austin & Connor +6, Geoff +2, Kevan +1, Mark -3, Rick -14, Marie -16, and Pete -17. There are many others with handicaps but they have not shown up in awhile so they are not listed here. Others are not listed because they have not thrown 3 rounds to establish handicaps. Are you confused?? Have questions?? See you Saturday—Keep ‘em flyin’——-JBK
Mike Teutsch Takes Dec. Monthly and Season Championship!!!!!!!!
Well Chainrackers the 2011 Season has come to a finish and Mike Teutsch decided to go ahead and win the final monthly of the year and take the season championship at the same time. Mike’s round was only two shots off his personal best.
Mike will pay for his good play in 2012 as his handicap has dropped some 12 shots since May and he will enter 2012 with a sub 6 handicap. That is two shots off the handicap he used this month.
We had a Great surprise this month in that we had 5 people show up for the first time and they are on their way to establishing handicaps for 2012. We also had two player show up to get additional handicap rounds. This is 7 new people that will hopefully show and compete monthly next year.
Now for the monthly scores:
1. Mike Teutsch – 85 raw score, sub 8 handicap, net score 77 First Place
2. Kevan Calvert – 90 raw score, sub 11 handicap, net score 79 Second Place (Wins with CTP)
3. Geoff Orris – 85 raw score, sub 6 handicap, net score 79 Third Place
4. Austin Green – 81 raw score, sub 1 handicap, net score 80 Fourth Place
5. Marie Finn – 112 raw score, sub 30 handicap, net score 81 Fifth Place
Some Additional 2011 interesting factoids:
1. Best Round – Raw Score – John Kimball(R) 74 in February
2. Best Round – Handicap – Skyler Horn 74 in August
3. Most Wins – Mike Teutsch 4 Wins
4. Most Rounds in Top 5 – Kevan Calvert 8 rounds in Top 5
5. Most Monthlies Played – Mike Teutsch 11 monthlies
6. Best Reduction in Handicap – Mike Teutsch 12 shots, HC was sub 18 in May and it is now sub 6
If you look at the stats above I think it is easy to see why Mike took the season. Great Job Mike.
I look forward to seeing everyone in 2012 and we can get a new season started.
Remember that for the first 2 or 3 monthlies we will be playing three rounds from the T Pads. This is a way to see if we can give everyone a shot at the Ace Pot that has not been hit in more than 2 years. John is taking all of the scoring data that I have on everyone’s rounds and coming up with handicaps for 27 holes on the T Pads.
It should be Great Fun and let’s see if we can get a good turnout to start the year off.
Thanks, and I hope everyone has a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

270 FOR 30!!!
The 270′ flight of a Wasp nestled softly into the chains on hole #6 to make Hal’s wallet $30 thicker!! It was a beautiful flight that only Austin and I had the privilege to witness. Congrats Hal!! On a side note, hole #3 now has one less tree to worry about if you come in from the right side.—-JBK
Mike T. Continues 2011 Dominance!!!
Well the August monthly went off without a hitch and Mike Teutsch took home his third win of the season. This helped him put a strong hold on the season standings.
HIghlight of the day that I saw was Mike nearly acing T-Pad 4. He smashed the outside of the basket but it looked like it was in all the way.
Skyler put on a Putting clinic Saturday by making many putts from over 30 ft.. This helped him shoot a personal best score by 5 shots better than his previous best and take second place for the day.
I had one highlight for the day by sinking about a 75 to 80 foot put on medium 4 for a birdie, longest putt I have ever made.
Scores for the Day:
Mike Teutsch 83 Raw, SUB 13 Handicap, Net Score 70 ( 10 shots better than personal best)
Skyler Horn 87 Raw, SUB 13 Handicap, Net Score 74 ( 5 shots better than personal best)
John Kimball 76 Raw, ADD 1 Handicap, Net Score 77 ( 3 shots better than personal best LH)
Kevan Calvert 90 Raw, SUB 13 Handicap, Net Score 77 ( 2 shots better than personal best)
Hal Horn 76 Raw, ADD 3 handicap, Net Score 79
In August we also have 2 more members that have established handicaps. Steve and Ben Slakey. I can’t wait to see how both do next month now that they have handicaps. Ben told me that he had 2 birdies in yesterdays round. Look out we might have a new winner next month.
Thanks and I will see everyone in September.

Mike Gets Second Win Of The Year!!!
Mike Teutsch had a Great day and bested his personal score by one shot shooting a 96 raw score that netted him a score of 79. This win also vaulted Mike into 3rd place overall for the season. That’s the good news, the bad news Mike is that your handicap changed by 3 shots down to a sub 14.
The other players in the top 5 for the June monthly were John Kimball (Lefty Version) in second place, Steve Michaelis in 3rd, Skyler Horn in 4th and Kevan in 5th. The last three spots were all decided in a throw off.
We had two new players establish handicaps in June and are now ready to do some damage in the monthlies going forward. Rob White established at a “Zero” and Connor Clay established at a “SUB 6″
Make sure you check out the overall standings page as things are really tightening up. The top 6 spots are seperated by just 6 points.
Have a Great month and we will see everyone in July.
