First of all it was great seeing so many new faces at the January monthly.  We had 16 people playing if you include the first timers. It was a great day and playing all three rounds from the T-Pads was a Ton of Fun!!! 

The purpose was to give the golfers three trips around the course attempting to hit an ace. Low and behold we did get one finally. Geoff Oris hit a Sweet Skip Ace on hole 6 for the first Ace in a monthly in nearly three years.

Results for the Monthly:

Frist Place: Austin Green    

Second Place: Marie Finn

Third Place: Geoff Oris

Fourth Place: Darren Calvert

Fifth Place: Mike Teutsch

We will be running the T-Pads again in February so I look forward to typing about another Ace or Two being hit in the monthly.

HCH                                   

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a Great day for golf, the weather was great and the course was in great shape!!!

The overall championship chase took a change this month as there is a new leader going into the last tournament of the year. The lead is only one point over second and five points over third place. Should be a great December monthly. In December we will make the pairings in the exact order of the championship so the people competing for the title are all playing together.

I want to Thank Austin for offering up a very nice Champion Mako as a CTP prize on #5 for the November monthly. The disc looks Great hanging on the wall of my garage!!! I won this over John by .75 of an inch, Wow!!!

I have also added a hole by hole scoring breakdown for the month so you can really see how you and your competitors did on specific holes. It also gives you the average score for each hole for that monthly. You will see that Long Hole#2 averaged a 4.8 as the toughest hole of the month.

Hopefully we will get a better turn out in October and I look forward to seeing you all there!!!!

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.

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.
