Men's Day Results for April 26th 2014

Another great day for our MGA.  Not a cloud in the sky and temperatures reaching the low 80's.  Nice!  We had a good showing with 19 players today.  The format was the usual skins, stableford, best 3's & 5's and the last chance to get into Dave Hall's pocket with the beat the pro game.  

The top dog in every game today was Steve Dougherty who dominated the back 9 with a scorching 6 under par 30 coming in.  What a back 9 for him!  He crushed his quota by 14 points on his way to accumulating 48 total points!  wow!  He also took home first place gross in the 3's and 5's game with a score of 28.  I guess that eagle on 15 helped him a bit don't you think?  Being the top skins winner with 4 total skins was not to shabby either but the feather in his cap for him I am sure is that he was one of only 3 players to beat the pro.  

The net portion of the 3's and 5's had a traffic jam at the front of the pack with 4 players ending up tied for the top spot.  Steve Ahlfeld, Steve Points, Ray Deaton and Patrick Butler all got a share of the winners pot in the net with a score of 31.  Two of those players were also lucky enough to be the other two players that bested the pro today.  Congrats guys.  Check out the results sheet for complete details on all the skins and other players that bested their stableford point quota.  There will be no MGA next Saturday due to the Kentucky Derby Scramble.  Feel free to sign up for that event.  We will have Mixed and Men's divisions with a 1:00 pm shotgun start and a nice social afterwards while you watch the run for the roses.  Thanks to everyone who played this week and as this was my final official Men's Day I want to thank all National Members for a very memorable 17 years here at the club.  It has been a great ride and I can't thank all of the National Members enough for letting me share it with you. 

All the best,

Dave

Men's Day Results for April 5th 2014

Glorious day for golf on our first Men's Day of April 2014.  The drill this week was tee times for the guys and the games were the usual skins, stableford, beat the pro with the best 17 game rounding out the foursome.  We had 16 total players this week enjoying the spring weather.

In the skins game we had Steve Ahlfeld, Tom Boals Jr., and Mark Watson leading the pack with two skins each followed by a large pack of players who had one skin (see results sheet for info).

The stableford game had very few points out this week and you know what that means right?  Big Money for points!  The top point getter was sweat swinging Steve Schwerin.  His masterful short game and steady putting stroke helped him best his quota by 3 points earning him the top spot and a heap full of cash!

The Best 17 game had two groups of winners with the Net & the Gross pulling cash from the pot.  The Gross side had some familiar names on it with Fabian Alzamora taking the top spot with his score of 75.  Tied for second we had the always steady Steve Ahlfeld and the long driving John Doster who both fired a 76.  The net division was championed by Bill Fitzgerald.  Birdie Bill carded a very impressive 62 to best his nearest competitor by 3 strokes.  Second place was taken by today's leading money winner Steve Schwerin and rounding out the final paying spot was the traveling man Don Hearn.

The pro had a rough start to the season and was bested by nearly half the field.  Check the results sheet for more details.

Next week we will be a shotgun start at 9:00am.  It is Masters week as you know so the format will be Pick a Pro from the Masters field on Saturday and combine his score with your net score. The weather forecast is for 77 and sunny so be there or be square.
