I first wanted to let everyone know that City of Madison Golf is offering free golf instruction on a number of Saturdays throughout the summer. I went to a session on Saturday, June 1 and it was excellent and free! Here is the schedule (all sessions are 12:00-1:00):
- Saturday, June 15, Monona Golf Course
- Saturday, July 6, Odana Golf Course
- Saturday, July 20, Yahara Golf Course
- Saturday, August 3, Monona Golf Course
- Saturday, August 17, Odana Golf Course
- Saturday, September 14, Yahara Golf Course
Also, we learned that we can have scores under 40 published in the Wisconsin State Journal. Scott Larson shot a 36 this week and Jake Heller shot 39, and both were in the paper Wednesday morning.
With rain earlier in the day, everyone was thrilled with the beautiful weather we had for golf this Tuesday. The weather was warm and there was very little wind. With the warm weather, the scores were much improved, with three members of Team Kraus blowing up with net scores of 22, 23, and 25. Congratulations to Tom Stafford, Mike Kraus, and Eric Durkee. Jake Heller also shot a 25 net.
For week 6, the average scores improved to 45 - the best of the year so far. We had two golfers break 40 as I noted earlier, led by Scott Larson with a 36, and Jake Heller with a 39. I don't know what Team Kraus had for a pre-game meal, but it sure worked. Tom Stafford had a net 22, Mike Kraus had a net 23, and Eric Durkee had a net 25, while Jake Heller also shot a net 25.
After the fifth week of the first half (Week 6 overall), the standings are even tighter. Team Dvorak is still in first place with 20.5 points, but five other teams are within 4.5 points of first. Team Raymer is in second place with 20 points and Team McEvilly is in third place with 17.5 points.

- Ed Molter - Closest to Pin First Shot on Hole #2
- Stephen McDonnel - Longest Putt on Hole #4
- Dan Stanford - Longest Drive on Hole #5
- Dan Stanford - Closest to Pin First Shot on Hole #6
Two golfers had birdies this week:
