Gabe Won It!!

Chracker — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:58:50 +0000

Wish I could have been there to see you destroy the field Gabe. Also heard you flicked a monster forehand roller on LONG 9!!! Really wish I could have seen that!!! Steve, took 2nd, and has now taken over the lead in the Championship points race. Marie, I hear you put one right under the CTP basket to take 4th. George was on the short end of Marie’s throw and took 5th. Heard from Jim a few days ago and his wife, Shelley, is doing well and should be out the hospital by now. Lots of rehab ahead, so Jim won’t be back in CA for a few weeks. Send your wishing well thoughts Georgia way. Jim sent me the Chainracker numbers and I have made an honest attempt to update the numbers. If you have a question regarding the new numbers posted, just ask. Keep ‘em flyin’

Course Closed!!! OOPS!!! & ML9 Play

Chracker — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:26:42 +0000

There is a sign on first tee saying the course will be closed this Sat 3/27 from 2:30pm til 2:30pm on 3/28. There is going to be a Nutrition Fuels Fitness 5K/10K Fun Run/Walk on Sun. morning. The OOPS is in regards to my negligence in mentioning the most wonderful event that happened at our last monthly. One of the original Chainrackers returned!!! It certainly was most excellent to see Tim out again, scars and all!!! Looking forward to playing with you again Tim. Now for the ML9 Play. (ML=mile long) Hal and I will be teeing off this Sat. 3/27 at 7:30am. If you want to loosen your arm up, or throw it out, come play the 5,256′ ML9. The shortest hole is 429′ and the longest is 784′. We have par set at 31. We have only played it twice and have yet to throw par. It is a MONSTER!!!!! Until we next meet on a course–Keep ‘em flyin’.

Monthly Ace Policy

Chracker — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:42:28 +0000

There never really has been a policy regarding paying into the monthly ace pot. It has been show up, pay your buck and good luck. After talking with Jim and Hal, along with input from some Rackers, the following is our new format for winning our Monthly Ace Pot, hertofore referred to as MAP. In order to have the opportunity to go home with some extra cash from hitting an ace during a monthly, you must have played in 3 monthly tournaments to win the Chainrackers MAP. That is all—back to dreaming about spinning plastic………Keep ‘em flyin’

Austin’s 77 Takes the Finale of “09

Chracker — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:58:30 +0000

Congrats to Austin for his first win as a Chainracker!! I do not believe it will be his last. It was a mildly breezy, somewhat chilly and occasionally drizzly day on which Austin threw a personal best to defeat the wintery weather and fellow Rackers. A congrats and “thanks for coming out” go to Hal. He showed up to throw his victory round as the unchallengeable Chainracker Champion for 2009!! Everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday season and let’s meet on the course again next year. Reminder::::January monthly we will meet in the Pavillion parking lot behind tee #4

Mr. Horn Does It Again

Chracker — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:38:13 +0000

The 2009 dominance by Hal continued with a convincing win in our November monthly. Since June, Hal has had 3 firsts, two seconds and that lowly fifth in Oct. I’m sure he would be the first to tell you that he has done nothing spectacular, being the modest one that he is. I can certainly tell you he has been spectacularly consistent. 84, 79, 79, 78, 81, 79 have been his scores over that span. It has been a pleasure to watch your smoothness Mr. Horn.

Doug Wins!!! Doug Wins!!!

Chracker — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:57:38 +0000

Really?? All Right!!, were the first words out of Doug’s mouth after he was announced as winner of the October monthly. Whoops, yee-haws and applause were given to Doug on his first victory as a Chainracker. It took 6 monthlies for Doug to finally break the 100 barrier. With a raw score of 97 and handicap at -18, Doug’s score of 79 won by 2 strokes over 4 players. After the CTP playoff Steve took 2nd, Bryan 3rd, John 4th, and Hal 5th. Well done Doug….Congratulations.
It was most excellent to see Maya out on the course again. Believe this was your first experience on our 27 hole layout?? It was Ernie’s second & I heard you were hitting some long putts……again. Austin will be getting his handicap for Nov. monthly. Will we have another first time winner next month????? Until next time–”Keep ‘em flyin”
