Tuesday, May 8 Scramble Results

Tuesday's scramble marked the opening of the 2018 UW Employee Golf League.  Scores were a little higher than past years as the greens were rock hard and getting approach shots to stay on the greens was very difficult.  Despite the challenges, Team McEvilly won the scramble handily with an even par 32 and Team Rieves edged Team Jokisch in the tie breaker 11 putts to 15 putts.  I will pass out the prize money to the two winning teams next Tuesday.

Here are all the scores:

• Team McEvilly 32 (First Place)
• Team Rieves 34 (11 putts) (Second Place)
• Team Jokisch 34 (15 putts)
• Team Kraus 35 (11 putts)
• Team Raymer 35 (14 putts)
• Team Molter 35
• Team Katona 38

Oh and for those of you who forgot - please count putts next scramble - that is the tie breaker.

Other prize winners were as follows:

• Longest Putt on #3: Ed Molter
• Longest Drive on #4: Adam Hopkins
• Closest to the pin 1st shot on #6: Dan Stanford
• Closest Second Shot on #7: Bob Jokisch

Winners, please don't forget to collect your golf balls.

Finally, please note that the schedule, subs list, info sheet, and rules are now posted on the right of our web site.

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.

Welcome to the 2018 UW Employee Golf League.
