League Stuff

-Community League results for last week are now posted here.

-This is week two of the July Match Tournaments.  Both the Community League and the Tuesday League continue with play-ins: total net team score determines whether or not you and your partner advance.  Tuesday's bracket here; Community's here.  The Thursday League teams go head to head this week; bracket here.  Thursday players will have special scorecards for their head-to-head matches and will be keeping the other team's score (just like in 'real' tournament play!).

-Rounds of the week:  Doug Denson and Mark Potts shot 34's in the Tuesday League while Terry LaMar (Community) and Susan Fee (Thursday) shot 37's to lead their leagues.  Low net at 29 for the week was posted by Ryan Johnson and Gary LaMar on Tuesday, and again by Gary during his Community League round.  Team low net was shared by the teams of Gary and Terry LaMar in the Community League, and a trio of teams in the Tuesday League: Mike Breeden and Bryant Trambaugh, Doug Denson and Dave Strange, and Virgil Harper and Terry LaMar.  They all shot 62's.

Rules and Regulations and Stuff:

-Hole Prize Markers:  Often in league play we have to move a hole prize marker so that it does not obstruct our putting or chipping line.  On occasion, the marker is not returned to its original position and the rightful owner of a hole prize is denied his or her prize.  To prevent that from happening, suggest that the marker be laid down next to the pin and thus be part of the wrap-up-the-hole-and-move-on process.  (Short version: Don't just stick it in the ground someplace else on the green; lay it down so it is obvious that it needs to be returned to its original position.)

-Hole Prize Markers 2:  Prize markers should be placed so that other players have a shot at the pin.  Would be terrible if your hole-in-one shot got deflected by a effing prize marker, wouldn't it?  Move the marker to a place adjacent to or behind the hole at the same distance from the hole.  Please.

-Not so hot this week but hydrate anyway.  Grandson Ian was at Holiday World the other day and was telling of people dropping left and right because of the heat.  Not good.  Just another reminder that Mother Nature has an unfeeling side to her.  Wouldn't call it a mean streak exactly cause we know she has her reasons for what she's doing with all this heat and stuff.  Just maybe a not so gentle reminder to pay attention.  Think I'll go get myself a glass of water.
