Week 3 2018 Results and Standings

Week 3 Results and Standings are posted.

Just a couple notes before the summary of Week 3:

o  Please note that the maximum score on a hole is 5 over par or 8 on a par 3 and 9 on a par 4.

o  We had a case in week three where neither golfer in a match showed up.  In this case, no match points were awarded (after checking with a past commissioner).

o  We also had a case in week three where the opponent was a no show.  The rules stated that “The unopposed golfer wins the match by two strokes plus the number of strokes by which he beats his own handicap.”  This doesn’t work if the golfer scores over his handicap.  I therefore reverted to the 2015 rules which stated that “The unopposed golfer wins the match by the higher of (a) 2 strokes or (b) the number of strokes by which he beats his own handicap.”

These three changes are now reflected in the 2018 Rules posted on the web site.  Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns about these changes to the rules.

Summary of Week 3 

Tuesday, May 22 was again a beautiful evening. Unfortunately the golf did not match the beautiful weather, as the average score increased from 48 in week 2 to 50 in week 3.  11 of 25 golfers shot 50 or over, and only Andy LeBeau broke 40 with a 39. Andy had the low net score and the low gross score with a 27.  Andy also had two of the three birdies, with birdies on #6 and #9. Congratulations Andy. Michael Brania had the other birdie on hole #7.

The rest of us were obviously building our handicaps for a late season surge.  After two weeks of match play, Team Molter has a four point lead, with the remaining teams closely bunched together.

On the challenges, a new golfer, Tom Stafford won closest to the pin on the first shot on hole #2.  Chris Pozza won longest drive on hole #4.  Mike Brania won closest chip from off the green on hole #7.  Stephen McDonnell won longest drive on some other hole.  None of the sheets for the challenge had the hole listed and the commissioner couldn’t remember that one.  Please make sure to mark the holes next round.

Week 2, 2018 Results and Standings

Week 2 Results and Standings are posted.

It was a beautiful May 15 evening and the first week of Match play.  Team Jokisch took advantage of the Bye week to win all 6 points.  The Commissioner considered giving his team a bye every week, but decided that perhaps that would be unfair.  Team Molter was undeterred and also won all six points.  Our defending champs, Team McEvilly was close behind with five points.

Keith Brown and Jim Zweifel had the best gross scores at 40, while Adam Hopkins showed that lat year's handicap was way too high and shot the low net of 28.  The average score was 48, which I am sure will improve as the year goes along and everyone remembers how to read Glenway greens.

Matt Raymer decided he loves Bridgestone golf balls and won two of the four challenges - longest drive (does he win that every week?) on #4 and closest chip from off the green on #5.  Dave Downing had longest putt on #2 and Eric Durkee had closest to the pin on #6.

Some holes of note:

• Steve McDonnell with a birdie on #1
• Keith Brown with a birdie on #1
• Andrew LeBeau with a birdie on #6
