Results for Week 11, July 8

The results for July 8 are posted to the right.  We nearly had our first 40 player night, with 39 this week.

Team Rieves continued its second half runaway, with captain Rieves leading the team to 6 points.  Dave had 4 birdies on his way to a 34, net 25, including chip-ins on holes 8 and 9 to finish with just 12 putts.  Chris Weber had 7 pars on his way to a 35, net 26.

Team Kraus is tied with team Raymer for a distant second, 2 whole points behind with just 7 weeks to go.  The success of team Kraus is amazing given that its captain has lost his first two matches by a likely historic 9 and 10 strokes respectively, and that teammates nearly came to blows this week when the second group hit into the first on hole 7.

In what may be another first, all four hole prizes were won by the first two groups (and that was with the prizes being determined before shots were hit).  If I hadn't seen the last group bring in the flags I might have suspected the second group did.

Results for Week 10 - July 1

And the second half is underway.  A nice night turned into sheets of rain for the last seven groups, but then things settled down and everyone finished.  Stung by being narrowly edged out by Team Molter is the first half, Team Rieves got off to a hot start with 5 points - aided by 2 Team Molter no shows.  The four teams within a point can dream their dreams, but I sense a Rieves runaway coming on.

Keith Brown shot the low score of the night with a 36 despite a double bogey on hole 9.  Pat Fahey shot a net 25.  Team Raymer put on a putting exhibition with two players posting 12 putts or less - Adam Hopkins (11) and Mike Sanders (12).   Mike was also nice enough to leave his wallet unattended in the clubhouse for an extended period, resulting in free drinks for a lucky few.  Nice guy that Mike.
