Tuesday league

Looks like I forgot to post that the only teams still playing in the match play tournament are Denson/Strange versus Divine/Jeffers. Congrats fellas! It is for the championship.

And all other teams continue to play as usual. Enjoy.

Saturday

The golf course will be CLOSED until 4pm on Saturday because we will be celebrating Michael Bird's life. Please come out after four for a round of golf; I bet Dad would love to join you!

Tuesday League Play

Three teams did not play and it occurs to me that the last post may have misled you to believe that only the four teams in match play were playing. Wrong, all teams play! The match play stuff is in addition to regular league play. Please come in and post scores before next Tuesday!

Meanwhile please be patient as I learn Dad's method of posting scores online...been a little crazy lately. Thanks!

Upcoming Tuesday League Play

Tuesday features 4 teams going head to head to make it into the championship match. Denson/Strange versus Breeden/Trambaugh and Divine/Jeffers M versus Rayhill/Potts. Good luck gentlemen!

Yes we are open!!

Leagues will continue as scheduled.

Curt Johnson, Stan Graber and Doug Denson shoot a 6 under to snatch the Manager's Scramble title from four other teams, two of which shot 5 under, D Wininger-G Potts-K Byron and W Souerdike-G Love-J Nickless(who bogeyed to deny themselves a shot at the title in overtime). S Hodges-K Stoll-D Lemmon-J Allen hit 4 under and D Webb-L Hembree-G Webb covered the rear with a 2 under. All of you were kind to share your thoughts about Mike's departure and started the scramble with a prayer (Dad was not much of a prayer guy, but would appreciate the thoughtfulness and goodness coming from a community of golfers.) Just awesome!

Several folks have expressed dismay about schedule conflicts with the Celebration of Life for Michael Bird at 1:30 on Saturday, particularly the Butcher-Gee scramble. Hmm...I wonder which one Dad would have preferred to go to!? Please feel no guilt if you cannot make the celebration. So many of you have already shared your sorrow and expressed your empathy for all of the Bird family. I (Eric) have especially benefited from being around you during Thursday league, Saturday morning scramble and Sunday golfers. Incredible the outpouring of friendship...You have helped me through this insane time...and I have shared your thoughts with the rest of the family...All of you are great! I know that Dad thought so too...he did enjoy being around all of you!

Of course as Dad would wish, a manager's scramble Saturday morning at 9.

A link to Dad's obituary here.

A celebration of life Saturday the 28th at 1:30pm at Brocksmith-Blake in Loogootee.

Suddenly, instantly my dad Mike Bird died when winds blew three trees onto his cart as he was driving back to the clubhouse Wednesday the 18th around 6:30 pm. He had been playing some golf as was his passion. We thank all of you for your kind thoughts, words and deeds. We expect to have a celebration of life at Brocksmith in Loogootee on the 28th. He was known to say that death was a part of life and would encourage each of us to carry on without worry. I miss you dearly dad! How many hole-in-ones are you getting now?!
