Week 4 (May 26, 2020) Results and Standings

Week 4 of the UW Employee Golf League saw golfers avoiding the rain, but just barely from what I am told.  The level of golf has stayed pretty constant from earlier weeks.  The average score was again 48.  We had 31 golfers this week, with one bye.  Just as a reminder, everyone plays every week even if your opponent is a bye (the bye gets a score of 33).  We had two golfers break 40, with Daniel Steinbring shooting 36 and Jimmy Yednock shooting 39. Congratulations to Daniel and Jimmy.  Dave Downing shot a net 30 and Ed Molter, Mike Sanders, Steve McDonnell, Matt Raymer, Bob Jokisch, and Jimmy Yednock shot net 32.  We should be getting some lower net scores now that our eight new golfers have established handicaps.

Team McEvilly continued to be in first place with 14.0 points, but Team Yancey moved to within a point with 13.0 points.  There is a long way to go in the first half, so no one is out of it by any means.

Two golfers reported a birdie this week:

• Dave Rieves on Hole #1
• Roberto Rivera on Hole #1

Make sure to let me know of any other birdies and I will list them.

May 5 Scramble Results

Tuesday's scramble marked the opening of the 2020 UW Employee Golf League.  The rain thankfully held off on a cool day.  Considering the inability to use a driving range and putting green, the scores were pretty good.

Team McEvilly blew away the competition with a 28, 4 under par, with birdies on #1, #3, #7, and #9.  Very impressive score!  Team McEvilly took second with a solid 31, with a birdie on #2.  I will mail out the prize money to the two winning teams with the final prize money.

Here are all the scores:

• Team McEvilly 28 (First Place)
• Team Rieves 31 (13 putts) (Second Place)
• Team Larson 32 (12 putts)
• Team Yancey 33 (11 putts)
• Team Downing 33 (14 putts)
• Team Kraus 35 (12 putts)
• Team Raymer 35 (15 putts)
• Team Jokisch 36 (14 putts)

Updates to UW Employee Golf League

I am pleased to announce that we have an eighth team - Team Larson.  We moved a few players around and Team Larson only has three players, but eight teams is better than an odd number of seven, and we want to get everyone interested in golfing out there.  If anyone knows of another golfer interested in joining our league, please let me know.  I will check with our substitutes also.  Otherwise, we will use a bye for the one player.  The new team rosters, a new schedule, and the new sub list are on the right.

Team Larson will tee off Tuesday at 4:36.  Our first tee time for the league will now be 4:36 with eight teams.

Bill at Glenway asked me to let you know the following:

• Beer will be available for purchase prior to your round.  Sounds like it will be in a cooler with a charge card reader.  No beer will be available after the round - they don't want players hanging around after their round.  No chairs will be there.
• No more than the four players teeing off should congregate around the first tee.  Please keep a distance from others.  We don't want to jeopardize golf staying open.

Here is an update on the list of Season Passes, Loyalty Cards, Motorized Cart rentals, and Walking Cart Rentals.  Please send me any further updates.

• Season Pass: Ambuj Shatdal, David Gault, Kevin Bailey
• Loyalty Cards: Rob Zimmerman, Mark Woodruff, Barry Wanner, Mike Sanders, Scott Larson, Andrew Preboski
• Motorized Cart Rental: Ed Molter
• Walking Cart Rentals: None

Also a reminder that I will be paying for all green fees and carts, so include that in making payments to me.

Welcome to the 2020 UW Employee Golf League

Welcome to the crazy, hopefully once in a lifetime version of the UW Employee Golf League for 2020.

Just a reminder to please let me know if you have a loyalty card or season pass.  Also, let me know if you are using a motorized golf cart or renting a walking cart.  So far, here is what I have on this:

• Season Pass: Ambuj Shatdal,David Gault, Kevin Bailey
• Loyalty Card: Scott Larson
• Motorized Cart: Ed Molter
• Renting walking cart: None

Also a reminder that I will will be paying for all green fees and carts, so include that in making payments to me.

Also a reminder of the following for Glenway:

• No rakes, ball washers, or benches
• Pin doesn't come out - foam insert keeps ball from going all the way down the hole
• No score cards - keep score n phone or print out sent earlier.  Whoever keeps score for the foursome is responsible for sending the commissioner the scores and any birdies after the round
• No prize flags - no hole prizes this year

Information on 2020 Schedule, Team rosters, and Substitutes is on the right side of the web site.

For new golfers, the first week is a scramble.  Here are the scramble rules and other information.

Tee Times

4:48 Team Jokisch

5:00 Team Kraus

5:12 Team Rieves

5:24 Team Raymer

5:36 Team McEvilly

5:48 Team Downing

6:00 Team Yancey

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 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 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.
