Week 12 & 13 Results

Results and Standings for Weeks 12 and 13 are now posted. Those who didn't complete their round in Week 12 had their Week 13 scores (or their subs' scores) applied to both weeks. The Kraus team maintains a 3-point second-half lead, but the Moritz team is coming on.

Scoring conditions were good this week (at least for some), as there were ten scores in the 30's, led by 36's from Lynn Paulson and Dave Rieves. There were 10 birdies and one eagle (Bob Moritz, on 9) this week. Even with all the low scores, there was still only one par (David Miller) and no birdies on number 5.

The league's Flight Tournament starts up in two weeks. I'll be posting about it soon.

Here are the updated standings in the race for the Sy Brandt Sportsmanship Award. At this point, I am staying on top only by virtue of showing up.

1. Dave Wolfe - 22.38
2. Steve Smith - 21.63
3. Dave Delveaux - 21.25
4. Andy Taylor - 20.50
5. Paul Schuettler - 20.25
6. Steve McDonnell - 19.63
7. Ed Corcoran - 19.13
8. David Miller - 18.75
9. Mike Warren - 18.38
10. Mike Kraus - 18.38

Week 13 Pairings - July 28

Below are Tuesday's pairings (fixed at 6:30 Monday morning, per Paul's comment).

Four full teams of hardy, all-weather athletes (Kraus, Nelson, Thoeny, Wolfe) finished their matches last week and - since they all played in the same conditions - their scores will count for Week 12. If any other matches were completed, I didn't hear about it. The rest of you will be golfing for your score in both week 12 & 13 this Tuesday (unless you're afraid you'll melt).

There were also two golfers in the McEvilly/Loew matchup who completed their rounds. However, they weren't oppposing one another. I can either change the pairing so that they opposed one another, or discard their scores and have them golf for both weeks this Tuesday. I will talk to the team captains and see if we can arrive at consensus. Otherwise, I'll just decide.

If anyone else completed their round, let me know. See you Tuesday!

Out Came the Rain, and Washed the Golfers Out

Wee - that was fun! Just like golfing in Scotland (from what I've seen on TV) minus the wind and cold temperatures.

For those of you wondering, the standard for whether league plays or not in inclement weather is whether the golf course is open. If the course is open, league is on. If the course is closed, league is off. It may have been a close call for Bill last night, but he let me know the course would be open unless it became dangerous or unplayable. Contrary to what some H2O-averse golfers indicated to me, Bill was not waiting for me to call off league play. When asked if he wanted to close the course he indicated he did not. I think this works with the liberal rain-check policy he indicated would be in place for the night.

As it was, it appears that only 16-20 men chose to complete the course on Tuesday. The rest made an exodus, in carts and on foot, like so many pairs of beasts heading to the Noah's Ark of the Glenway Clubhouse. When we finished our round, the sky was bright and there was only a light drizzle (although our clothes were 30 pound heavier than when we started).

Of course, just because that is the standard doesn't mean it has to remain the standard. We can certainly discuss it at the banquet after the season, if you'd like. The goal of league play is to have fun and some friendly competition. I suppose some people might have a hard time having fun in last night's weather, but everyone in my foursome managed to.

As to how to account for scoring last night's matches, I will soon (before next week's play) arrive at some King Solomon-like decision on how to handle the fact that some matches were completed and some were not. I think there's a pretty fair resolution that won't punish or benefit anyone. Of course, as always, I welcome your input.
