 November Golf Is Here!

This means Monday Golf starts tomorrow, 11:00 Tee Time! 

Gather at the putting green, ready to play, might be a tad brisk but, it is what it is.

Week in Review

Tuesday 10/27

It was an 'Even' day as 5 BB's shot right on their number and 'Even' won the Total. Bill F wins the CTP, his second in a row. He will go for the 'Floyd' on Wednesday. Bill's birdie on #2 also wins the Random Skin.

Roger is Medalist winner, his 8th of the season.

Wednesday 10/28

Brandon, on his 26th attempt, finally wins his first CTP of 2026, and he moved back to the Blue Tees to do it. It capped off a big day for our youngest member as he was also Medalist for the day at +5.

Marty's modest set of three 6's wins the Card Game for his squad.

Brandon looks like he is joining a fraternity.

Thursday 10/29

Ray runs away with the Thursday Medalist prize, winning by 4 strokes. His team also wins the Front 9.

Randy claims the CTP as his team collects the other 3 events.

Friday 10/30

Like Halloween, all the players got a piece of candy after the scores were figured.

The 3 teams split the FBT, each winning one. 

Wayne's birdie on #12 snared the extra hole Rabbit Game.

Glen wins the CTP, his 15th. More on that later.

October Review

October matched September with 16 playing days. We had 26 BB's play 233 rounds, around 14 or 15 per day.

Individual Honor Roll

Double Jumps at +6 for the month included Glen(twice), Brandon, Bill F, Keith, and Dave.

At +7 were Scott, Butch, and Ray. 

KZ and Brandon reached +8. 

The best of the month with a whopping +10 was Floyd.

Five BB's were multiple Medalists in October. Randy, Brandon, Scott, Keith, and Ray each had two.

For the season, we have a 3-way tie at 11, Glen, Ray, and Butch having accumulated that many.

Close behind with 9 are Randy, Scott, and Clint.

Checking in with 8 are Bill H, Roger, and Jeff.

In the important 'Thursday Medalist', Ray and Bill F have 4, Bill H and Roger with 3.

Multiple CTP golfers were Bill F and KZ with 2. 

Today's 'Fun with Numbers' is about Glen and his FOUR CTP's this month. Those 4 winning shots give Glen the group lead with 15 CTP's with 2 months to go. The 'Fun' part of this story is that Glen notched his 11th CTP on April 16th and proceeded to play 67 rounds before #12 arrived on October 8th. He seems to have rediscovered his swing, at least on the 18th tee as he added 3 more over the next 2 weeks.

Glen 15, Randy 14, Tom 11, Clint 10, Wayne 9, Bill F 8. Don 7.

Twenty-nine different BB's have scored at least 1 CTP.

Glen, Dave, and Ray were top 3 net money winners.

 Tee Times Update

Tuesday through Friday tee times will all be at 10:00 until further notice. 

Wednesday Results

Tough scoring conditions allowed only 2 players to move up in handicap. Co-Medalists Bob and Doc (+2) drug Andy around the course to win the FBT.

Glen adds to his league leading CTP total to prevent the sweep.

Friday Results, October Review, Tee Times plus Bud's Boys Fish Fry Details, Scotty Aces His Test  

I hate to interrupt those working on their Monday night costumes, but we have a few things to cover in this issue, items past and future. As always, you may skip parts 'Witch' do not interest you.

Tee Times 10:00 Every Day!

Fish Fry Monday November 7

If the course is open that day as scheduled, we will play 18 holes and then Tom is going to fry up some fish for us to enjoy. Bob, Scott, Jeff, Leroy, and Shelly are taking care of sides and miscellaneous.

You Must Bring Your Own Beverages as Facilities are Closed!

We need an accurate count, so Tom knows how much to fry up. I hear he hates to waste fish so please inform us if you are coming.

October Review

Hard to believe we have completed our October schedule. We only had 16 days available due to the month starting on a Saturday and ending on a Monday. We lost 1 day to a tournament and 2 to weather but managed 11 regular days and 2 days for our own tourney. Thirty different golfers played 154 rounds for an average of 14 per day. Nineteen participated in the 2-day tourney. Randy and Rodney fared best in choosing good teammates as they topped money list. Westy and Rick will probably cut back on Halloween candy to cover any losses sustained.

Glen added 3 CTP's to take a probably uncatchable lead of 4 with only 2 months left. Jeff added 2 in October to tie for 2nd with 9.

After missing most of September and all of October, Bill is doing much better and intends to play this coming week. Great to hear!

Stan still trying to shake off covid aftereffects, maybe we can get him out to the fish fry. 

Friday Results

Beautiful golf weather greeted the 16 players fortunate to get out on our last round of October. It was so nice that Westy predicted that great scoring was in the cards before the first tee shot was struck.

Little did he know how correct he was. There were 22 birdies and an eagle making for a hotly contested rabbit that went 11 holes to find a winner. We had the most closely contested team play in recent memory with 4 of 5 teams finishing on the plus side and all 4 thinking chances good for victory. Tom's 38 points (2-under 70) and Anita's +3 led them to a +5 +5+10 finish that wasn't quite enough to win. Another team's +5 +4 +9 bit the dust. Shelly's +8 pushed her team to win by a nose at +6 +6 +12.

Randy's +3 and Allen's +1 helped out.

Butch proudly posed after winning his 3rd CTP.

Only Mikey and Doc (who was just a ghost of his normal self) saw their hcp drop.

You may have noticed I didn't identify Friday's Medalist yet. We have to go back to Thursday to set this up. Seems Scott had a bad round Thursday. A reallllly bad round. I believe Jeff may have made a cutting remark or two. I may have poked the bear in Thursday's blog. I do know Scott showed up with an attitude.

Yes, he won Medalist with +10. Yes, he went from -10 to +10 in one day. And yes, he padded his score with a hole-in-one on #6!!!

He rightly claimed post-round that he had incentive for today's round.

Move over Reggie Jackson,

Bud's Boys has their own 'Mr. October' with a hole-in-one to go with his 'Champion Golfer of the Year' trophy. Congrats to Scotty for a month to remember!

Side-note; Despite his heroics and Medalist score, his team won nothing, yet golf's stupid tradition had him buying the drinks (don't worry Leroy, he won't forget you). Just ain't fair.
