  Golf League Updated 

  Congratulations to Mike Trachsel, 2012 Tri-V Golf League champion! This is Mike’s 3rd consecutive championship, only one more (as far as we know) to tie Terry Connoly’s previous record of 4 consecutive league wins. Mike breezed to the title with a comfortable 1.6 stroke lead and was even able to three putt and double bogey the last hole without any need for concern.

  Also of note, Mike Lewandowski was the big money winner this week, pretty much with just one swing. He was able to take the double-greenie, a skin, and most likely low net as a result of a nice drive and resulting easy putt for a birdie finish on #7. Great job Mike!

  Finally, please let Jay and I know if you have any suggestions to make the league better and/or more fun. We’re always looking for ways to improve and we’ve already got some ideas for next year including new course consideration (currently investigating Links of Novi) and using a rolling average dating back to the previous year to help eliminate variability. If you’ve got any other ideas, please let us know!

  Hopefully I see you all at final golf this weekend, and if not, see you next year!

  Golf League Updated 

  This week is the final week of the season, and we have a showdown between Bill & Mike T. to win the 2012 championship. Although Mike was guaranteed a spot in the finals coming in to last week, Steve almost managed to squeak in with a tie. If Terry and Bill had golfed, it most likely would have happened, as Mike golfed like crap and Steve shot his best score of the season.

  Regardless, Mike is going for an unprecedented third consecutive championship. Previously, he’s defeated Matt V. in 2010 and Dave B. (me) in 2011. This year, he faces off against Bill and needs to win by 3 strokes as his handicap is 2.4 strokes lower. Hopefully its an exciting match, and good luck to both golfers!

  I’ll have final payouts ready for everyone by final golf next weekend, and if you’re in attendance, I’ll hand them out there. If not, I’ll give it to you the next time I see you.

  Good luck and see you on the course!

  Golf League Updated 

  This week is the last week of the 2nd half, and it looks like Mike has it all wrapped up again. Although Steve is not mathematicaly eliminated yet, he needs to take 6 points and Mike needs to get shut out. Even if Steve golfs very well and Mike blows it, we’ve only had 6 “in the money” golfers 2 times this half. Looks like Mike will be going for his 3rd consecutive championship.

  I’ve been looking at the scores and thinking about how to better represent everyone’s average. None of us are pros so we all go though inconsistent periods of time, which can skew our averages. For example, Jeff in the first half and Mike in the second half this year. I think it might be better to keep a rolling average of 12 scores and drop the highest 4 in order to get a more consistent average going. The rolling average would pull scores back from previous seasons, unless that golfer didn’t have any previous seasons. I have all the data to do it, but I’ll have to review in greater detail to see what the effect is.

  Finally, Bill dropped a score last week with Jay to follow after this week.
