Congratulations again to Team Molter (Ed Molter, Dave Downing, Andy LeBeau, and Mark Woodruff subbing for Rob Zimmerman) for their victory in the playoffs against Team Raymer (Matt Raymer, Adam Hopkins, Steve McDonnell, and Mike Sanders).  Also congratulations to Steve McDonnell with the low average of 40.  Steve also won the Sy Brandt award (combined total of weeks attended, team points earned, and change in average from the previous season.  Great job everyone!

$10 in prize money goes to the winning team.  I tried to balance handicaps between the three teams.  If there are additional league players that wish to play, please let the commissioner know (bobjokisch@gmail.com)

Reminders:

·      Hit your tee shots on hole 8 from the upper tee.

·      You must count at least one tee shot from each member of your group. On your scorecard, note who hit the tee shot you used on each hole.

·      Count your putts on each hole, and note them on the scorecard.

Rules (for those unfamiliar with the scramble format):

1.    Each foursome/threesome plays as a team and keeps one score for the team (including putts).

2.    After each golfer tees off, the team picks one shot to play next, and each golfer hits from there. The three people whose shots won't be used should retrieve their balls and drop within a club-length of the ball chosen to be played, but if the ball you are playing is in the rough or a hazard you must play from that rough or hazard. You may improve your lie (winter rules).

3.    Follow this same procedure until your team holes out.

4.  One shot/ball per golfer - if you only have three golfers, only three shots.

5.    When putting, the first person puts a mark down to identify where the others should putt from if the first person misses.

6.    At least one tee shot from each golfer in the foursome/threesome must be used on one of the nine holes. You do not need to decide whose tee shot is to be used until after everybody has teed off on a hole, unless you are forced to use a specific golfer’s tee shot on holes 7, 8, or 9 because you have not used one of their tee shots yet.

Tiebreakers

1.    Most holes-in-one

2.    Most eagles

3.    Most birdies

4.    Fewest putts

5.    Higher average team handicap (those without handicaps will not be counted)

6.    If still tied, prize money will be divided proportionally.
