Tuesday Men's League: Opening Day of the 2012 Season

It's here!  Day 1 of the new season.  Defending team champions are Mitch Jeffers and Jordan Divine - they beat out John Walker and Skip Ackerman, and Danny Jones and Lonnie Hawkins.  Individual champion was Jordan Divine with Dan Jones, Karry Stoll and Skip Ackerman coming in 2nd through fifth.  Continued good weather is expected with highs near 70 today and the course is in excellent condition.  For those who have taken advantage of the winter-that-never-was, seems like we are already at mid-season with our golf swings in shape, the fairways hard and running, and the greens soft and receptive.  Of course, the winds of the last few days have played havoc with the ball direction at times, but then there should be a challenge or two out there for us at every turn.  And there usually is, whether it be a drive trying to avoid a hazard, a pitch trying to find just the right distance, or a putt that is short but downhill and sliding to the right.  That's what make it fun not to mention the competition and the companionship of our fellow golfers.

Hole prize markers are at holes 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 today.  Come on out and lets see if we can get some low scores on the books.  Anybody out there got a hole-in-one up there sleeve today?
