Club Sweatshirts and Hoodies
I have priced the cost of ordering sweatshirts and hoodies for the club. These would be gray with the same screen printing as the club t-shirts. The cost to you would be $13 for a sweatshirt with $2-3 more for XX and XXX Large. The hoodies are $5 more for the same sizes. This cost is only if we order 36. If we order less, the cost increases by more than $3 per garment. Although the club does not yet have the funds to cover the full order, I would be willing to purchase the shirts and get reimbursed by the club after enough were sold.
So, should I order these sweatshirts? And, do any of you want the hoodies? Please reply soon so I can get the order in before our next monthly. Post your comments now.
Austin’s 77 Takes the Finale of “09
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
Trophy Delays
I just got news that our 2010 trophies will not be ready for our tournament on Saturday. Therefore, the awards for 2010 will take place at our January monthly tournament. So sorry for the change in plans.
Mr. Horn Does It Again
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!!!
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”
Monthly reminder & WARNING!!!!
This Saturday, the 17th, will be the monthly. The gates have been closed this week due to storm damage. Have not seen any clean-up crews. If gates are closed, there is a street just north of the Elk-Grove Florin entrance for parking.

ML9—Par 31
Get those big guns ready!!! Hal and I tested out the preliminary set up for the ML9. We figure par to be 31. Hal shot a 32 and I a 33!! What does the ML stand for?!?!? MILE LONG!!! Rough estimate is 5,256′!!! Would need one of those rolling measurers to get accurate distance. Here is what holes we shot. Still room for a little tweaking. 1 to 2, 2B to 3, Hill to 4, behind trees(group of trees beyond cable south of hole 4) to 5, 6 to 8, 8 to 1, 2 to 5, 5 to 6(Mandatory to go left of trees-will be drop zone if not make mando), 3 to 9. Only OB will be perimeter of course. Shortest hole is roughly 430′(8 to 1) and longest 785′(1 to 2). Took us about an hour to play. Maybe give it a test run with more players on Wed. night?!?!?
Hal Horn Wins His First Monthly
After finishing in second place a whooping six times out of twelve monthlies, Hal finally finished on top today with a round of two under, 79. This first place finish only widens the gap between Hal and those chasing him in the Championship points. He now leads the Championship race by eight points. He will be tough to catch by year end with only four more tournaments to be played.
By the way, this monthly was Hal’s one year anniversary playing in the Chainracker’s monthlies. After not being able to break par all last season, Hal has finished under par in three of the monthlies this year. His game continues to improve each month with plenty of practice. Hal is one of the longest drivers in the club and his putts are becoming a more solid part of his game.
Second place this month went to George Kimmerlein who also shoot a 79, but was edged out by his handicap. George was under par after finishing both the medium and long tees. Jack Kaufusi, Del Silva and Marie Finn finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively. John Kimball shot the best non-handicap round of that day at 74, but his punishing ADD 9 handicap put him out of the running.
