Golf is just around the corner.

With the upcoming New Year, it is time to begin planning for the 2018 golf season.  Please start checking with friends (or enemies who are golfers) to see if we can get more golfers for our league.  We would like to get back to at least eight teams for the upcoming year.

Tonights winner is Team Raymer.  Congratulations.  Enjoy the Fourth of July and see you on 7/11.

Week 7 Standings and Results have been posted.  Congratulations to Team McEvilly for winning the 2017 First Half Championship

Please remember that the spreadsheet for results has issues.  Please contact me with any results that you feel are in error.  If anyone knows a spreadsheet expert that wants to take a look at ours for repair, please contact the commissioner.  We all know there is an issue, please help me out by communicating any problems.
The score spreadsheet is still in good shape and working well.  We have an interesting race for the Sy Brandt award with some new names vying for the title.  Any issues with the standings report is because the commissioner cannot add.  It is ok to point out those issues as well.

I will add a new 2017 Substitute List with the names and contact information I have.  Please contact me with any updates.

On Tuesday, June 27 here is the order of start for the League Scramble:

4:56 Team McEvilly
5:04 Team Rieves
5:12 Team Kraus
5:20 Team Raymer
5:28 Team Hoerr
5:36 Team Molter

Use the tee off at the top of the hill for Hole #8.

No golf on July 4.

The winner last week was Team Raymer!  They will go out first next Tuesday.  Here is the order of finish last week and start times for next week:

4:56 Team Raymer
5:04 Team Hoerr
5:12 Team Rieves
5: 20 Team Molter
5:28 Team McEvilly
5:36 Team Kraus

Team Raymer please take out some stakes and lets award some golf balls next week.  I was a little slow last week.

The league dues are $30 this year.  Please pay the commissioner.

Last week was fun.  I look forward to next week.  I will work on the schedule this weekend.  I have put an e-mail contact on the blog site for interested golfers.  We need one regular and can use some subs.

Tee times for Tuesday May 9:

4:56 Team Kraus
5:04 Team Rieves
5:12 Team Raymer
5:20 Team Molter
5:28 Team McEvilly
5:36 Team Hoerr

The first tee time next week is 4:56 p.m. The next team will go off eight minutes later and so on.

Our season opener is May 9. The forecast looks like a fairly warm day at this time.  We will have the league scramble to start the season. So remember on Hole 8 to us the upper tee off.  I have not talked to Glenway about tee times ( I will this week) but here is the order of tee off:

Team Kraus
Team Rieves
Team Raymer
Team Molter
Team McEvilly
Team Hoerr

The order of start is based on the order of finish last year.  Week two will also be a scramble and start time will be based on order of finish in week one.  Week three will be league play.  Please pass this information on.

Our 2017 season will start on May 9.  We will have a fourteen week season with six teams.  Tee times will be posted soon for opening weekend.  The first two weeks we will play with your team.

We have two weeks to complete our agreement with the city for the 2017 season. I have two partial teams, one that is no longer playing and one that is trying to put a team together.  I need a positive response from six teams at the very least to sign that agreement.  E-mail me at dyyjd@yahoo.com if your team is in for this year by March 12.

We need to sign our contract with the city for the 2017 golf league in the next several weeks.  Team captains please send me an e-mail at dyyjd@yahoo.com to confirm your team is in for the season.  If that could be completed in the next few weeks that will be appreciated.  If you are looking for team members let me know and we can approach the city.  They have a list of people who are interested in joining a league.

Our season will commence in April, shortly after The Masters.

The commish has a job in Madison.  Woot-woot! I will be happy to serve as your commissioner again this year and look forward to the season. Team captains please look forward to e-mails in the next couple of weeks and reach out to your team to confirm their desire for another season. I believe we will be in our 61st year in existence which is quite an accomplishment.

 Please read the announcement below from the City of Madison. It is mid January and warming up. Please let me know if you are attending, Hit them straight:
