There are 10 golfers that I will settle up with as we near the next play date, May 27.

 

Three off of The Tee: We had 13 groups scheduled to play on the West course.  At least three groups were shut out of the lottery. This caused a bit of a scramble to get everyone into a game. The early tee time players avoided the rain and the later players had some wind to contend with.  We had two DNFs today, in all though, there were 45 golfers competing for pay points.

 

Doctor, Doctor: Two weeks into the season and this gentleman has made pay points.  He moved all the way to the top of the podium today.  He must have been inspired by his golf cart chauffer. You don’t need a stethoscope to hear his heart beat today, as Mr. Victor Vigna pulsed his way around the course to the beat of 41 quota points! Vic managed a nice round of 90 from a Y22 handicap and only had four holes on which he did not score a quota. Well played Doc!

 

Forty, 40: This is not a new whiskey but how many quota points required today to reach the silver podium.  In a three-way tie were Desmond Dutrizac, Kent Clark, and Ernie Miatello.  Desmond played in some early morning rain but it did not dampen his first Huffman game of the season.  Des birdied hole #6 en-route to 11 front nine quota points.  Scholarly-stuff Des. Kent was holding on to the low round of the day right up until the last score card was turned in.  Kent shot a super round of 83 from a Y17 handicap. We all know Kent can fly but he managed his 40 quota without a birdie.  Last in with 40 quota was Ernie. This is the second consecutive week, Ernie has reached this result.  He had a birdie on hole #14 today and finished off the round with a smooth 88. He leads the league with 8 pay points to date.  Good start Ernesto!  

 

El Camino Trail: Rounding out the winner’s circle, with 39 quota points, was Chris Kempling. Chris birdied hole #11 and made 16 quota points on the back nine alone! He shot a nice round of 87 from a Y18 handicap.  I bet that was a happy hike Chris!

   

Monday Stats that may interest only me;

Lowest round of the day: For the second consecutive week, the score of 82 took the honor.  Gordon Good managed that score while garnering quotas on 17 holes.

Top Bird Dog: One a day when there were six birdies, Lindsay Somerville had two, on hole #7 and #14. On Thursday’s Men’s League, those deuces would be worth big bucks!

Best Played Hole by one 4-Some: I was running a little behind figuring this stat out but I believe it was Ed Wszol’s group who played hole #14 to +1.  The sole bogie went to Peter Grail while Ed, Denis Gagnon and Vic Taylor made par.
