Player-perspective recaps of club tournaments, match play, and monthly events.
Showing 16 pieces.
The first of the years majors (The Presidents Cup) went down to the final group to find a champion. First in hot seat was Tim Nou with a final round 69 net and 147 total. He was soon rousted out of the top spot as Tom Withers rang up a 68 net for a even par 144 total. Still to come was first round…
tournament-writeupsGreetings all! Sorry for the delay in getting you these results. Lots of baseball early in the week, then the Masters starts, and well....Funny how the only ones to say anything are the ones that won all the money. Be careful what you wish for, as you wouldn't want me to break up the band, would…
tournament-writeupsI have to lead with some well deserved praise to everyone that played in this "event" . Not only did everyone show up, but they all made it to the course on time, in spite of having to set their clocks ahead 1 hour the night before. Great job Men's Club! Now, on to our "event" . You hopefully have…
tournament-writeupsHi Fellas! I was just wondering if we were ever going to get a 2016 tournament schedule here or somewhere else? I do this really weird thing, sometimes, called "planning" and if I am "planning" on being here for a Men's Club tournament I would not have already made "plans" to be in say Santa…
tournament-writeupsWe had a great turnout for our annual Pinehurst (alternate shot) event. The scores started out pretty good, and they just kept getting lower. And lower. And lower. First, there was our tournament director Peter Berk and his partner Bob Gentles, who were feeling pretty good about their net 63, until…
tournament-writeupsDelays were caused in this posting as several of us were traveling the world looking for the meaning of life or a least a good beer. My heads still a little hazy so you know which one I found. The individual event was played on the narrow, bush lined, uneven slopes of the Park and just to make it a…
tournament-writeupsOk, no confusion with the rules in this event. Just tee it up, hit it straight, make a putt, and low score wins. Got it Mills and Hoffman. Nobody gets a break in this column! So who was hot? How about the youngster, Tom Donnellan. He just celebrated his 80th birthday last month and then gave…
tournament-writeupsAfter starting with a field of 44 we are finally down to 2! The semi finals were played this past Sunday as the final four hit the home links with the dream still alive. First up the Capers vs Aubrey match - The match started pretty even, then Hedges 12th cup of coffee kicked in with full force.…
tournament-writeupsPeter Berk used this as an audition for his new position at match.com by pairing up the grizzly guys from the club with the good looking ladys from the womens club. Actually he just used a blind draw but it sounds better the other way. Seventeen teams hit the hollow grounds of the "Park" and in the…
tournament-writeupsThe first of Peter Berk's away tournaments found about 50 club members gracing the ground of Shadowridge County Club for a good old individual event. Modest price buy in ($40 plus $15 entry) netted the players access, carts and prize money for another well run event. Even a little rain couldn't…
tournament-writeupsBoth races are official. Wednesday's race, which could have provided some interesting "strategy" between partners Chuck Lasher and Bruce Barr, sadly got washed away in some much needed rain. So the final results remain the same, and were as follows. 1....Chuck Lasher........652.90-----$60…
tournament-writeupsAnd the Christmas gifts go to..............who else but............."WOLIVER"......damn I'm starting to hate this guy! Other guys who snatched one from under the tree included: new guy Brian Dass, Teddy Lance, Denis Arguin, Joe Wood (finally bested Lasher), Big Jim Muttera, Little Jeffy…
tournament-writeupsHe started slow, gave everyone hope, and then snatched it away and emerged the winner of the 80th Balboa Men's Club Championship -- and his name is TOM WOLIVER! After a 78 and standing in 8th after round #1, Tom surged to the front with the lowest round of the event with a 69 on day #2 to hold a…
tournament-writeupsTalk about pressure, all alone from the red tees, three sets of eyes watching your ever move, it must be the annual firecracker scramble! It seems so easy but many a good player putted out only to see a double or even a triple go on the card. So who's play netted the rockets red glare and who ended…
tournament-writeupsNo heavy lifting is this one, just grab a couple or three of your favorite weapons and take off! Grassa chose well shooting 71. Rob Mills chose well shooting 73. Woliver chose well shooting 75. And Tinsley, he just chose to stay home. Joe say it ain't so! Art Shannon hit the pick 4 and won Flight…
tournament-writeupsJohn Hoffman started with a one stroke lead after the opening round but quickly improved on that total. John ran in a 30 ft birdie on #1 and he was off and running. Only one stutter step on the front (a bogie on #4 with a penalty stroke) which was followed up with birdies on #7, #8, & #9. Total…
