Three of Off The Tee: After having to cancel the Monday league for two weeks, three groups
were shut out of the lottery bid today, (because the Sunningdale course was
closed for aeration.) Unfortunately, we
couldn’t find room for all of them on the tee sheet. Bummer.
State of the Union: There are going to be some players pretty sad to see the month of July
go by as they lit up the scorecards, (with only two dates available to be
played). Once again, the humid weather led to some extreme scores! It was probably easier to get on a France high
speed rail car than reach the Huffman podium this week.
Several people were unavailable, combined with the poor
lottery results led to a season low 40 golfers which included two DNF’s, (as a
result of the afternoon rain).
The Moustache Twirl: Remember the famed moustache-twirling
characters, like Snidley Whiplash and Oil Can Harry? This gentleman had every
right to twirl his moustache, right after he drained his fourth birdie
putt on the day! Finding his game with a brand-new driver, woods, irons and golf
bag, Mr. Ernie Miatello made consecutive birdies on both the front and
back nine! The score of 85 was pretty
good but the birdies were great, earning Ernie a total of 45 quota points! Hey,
super ‘stache Ernie!
Brucey Bruce: Making
his first appearance this year on the Huffman podium was Bruce Anderson.
I had heard that he was playing some good golf lately and it sure showed today
as he came home with 44 quota points! Bruce had a nice split of 41/41 and
he earned his quota the old-fashioned way… no birdies. He made a quota on 17 of 18 holes today. Well ventured Bruce!
Three’s Company: These three
cagey Huffman veterans, Clark Leith, Steve Goodwin and David
Ballingall, showed the young lads a thing or two today. All three ended up with 43 quota points!
Clark and Steve had been carefully staging their handicaps this season and made
their best showing of the season today. These
were Steve’s first pay points of the season. He was so happy he left the team
scorecard with his wife to mail in and hit the Pub! Clark was part of today’s “Featured Group” on
the Home page of the website, leading his group at the good ‘ol age of 86!
David finished last year pretty strong and earned
pay points on his last two outings this year. He made a birdie today on the 8th
hole to reach the podium for the first time this year.
Well done Boys!
Monday Stats that may interest only me;
Lowest round of the day: Firing a splendid 75 was Julian Oates. No birdies, 13
pars and 5 bogies. Lowest Huffman round of the year! (36/39 split).
Top Bird Dog: On back-to-back
play dates we had 20 birdies! The clear-cut leader today was Ernie with
those four birdies. Must be a personal best for most birdies in one
round for him?
Best Played Hole by one 4-Some: On a day when we had 9 four-somes on the course, the Group of
Ernie Miatello, Gerry Marcus, Sohan Samra and David Ballingall played hole #5
to minus 2. Ernie AND Gerry made their
first of consecutive front nine birdies on this hole while Sohan and David made
par. Their group had three scores of 81
today, 7 birdies and 25 pay points, Wowzah!
All pay points earners are
listed here. A total of 28 golfers
exceeded the 36-point threshold for a total of 123 Pay Points! Crazy
good.
