  Well, all that build up to the finals this year and it was a real pillow fight, with Mike Trachsel taking the win by posting a score 3 strokes over his average. I was worse, as I shot 4.5 over average. Oh well, I guess there’s always next year.

  Final payouts will be handed out at final golf, or the next time Jay or I see you. The payout breakdown will be posted on trivclub.com and included in your payout envelope. Please let me know if there are any discrepancies.

  Thanks, and see you next year!

  The points feeding frenzy known as Trachsel vacation is over, and I was able to muster up the minimum 1 point required to take the 2nd half. That means I’ll be facing off against Mike Trachsel this week for the season championship. I hope everyone had fun this season and if not, take it up with Jay! Seriously though, if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve our league, please let us know as we’re open to new ideas.

  On a personal note, my wife gave birth to our first child, a baby boy, on Thursday, August 11th. His name is Matthew and he weighed in at 9lbs 5oz and was 23″ long. Luckily he timed his birth perfectly enough so that I could golf without missing a week! Good job Matthew!

  Thanks, and good luck this week (except Mike)!

  Its that magical time of the year again, where points are given out like candy; Trachsel vacation! This year I’ll be here so hopefully I can score the 1 point required to clinch the 2nd half from Jay.

  8/8 (today): 2nd half FINAL (Yes, we will be golfing)
  8/15 (next week): 2011 Tri-V Championship – Mike T. vs. Jay or Dave

  Thanks, and good luck this week!

  As with the first half, looks like we’re in for another tight finish!

  Please note the upcoming schedule below:
  8/1 (today): 2 weeks left in 2nd half
  8/8 (next wk): 2nd half FINAL (Yes, we will be golfing)
  8/15 (2 wks): 2011 Tri-V Championship – Mike T. vs. ?????

  Corrections made last week:
  Matt V.’s HDCP was 8.7, corrected to 8.0 (I forgot to drop a 2nd score). This had no effect on points or low net for last week. Sorry for any confusion.

  Thanks, and good luck this week!

  Wow, lots of great scores this week, and the development of a potential father/son race for the 2nd half!

  I fixed the “Total Points” column in the scores above, it should have reflected points from the 1st half + 2nd half.

  Thanks, and good luck this week!

  Romas decided to golf out of his mind this week, shooting a 43, his lowest score ever* in Tri-V golf! In another amazing feat, I aced hole #3 to take home the $59 “greenie” jackpot. Possibly more importantly though, as Bill T. put it, an equally amazing quarter drop was made at the VFW afterwards to win a free beer.

  Please note several golfers dropped a score last week, including Tim, Jeff, Mike T., Steve, Romas, and Mike L.

  Thanks, and good luck this week!

  Welcome back from the Independence Day holiday! I hope everyone had a happy and safe time, and all fingers are still intact. As you all should have known, we did not golf on Monday, July 4th. Hopefully nobody showed up expecting the league to be here.

  Please be aware golfers who have golfed 8 weeks (Dave, Jay, Terry, Bill T.) have dropped their 2nd score, and several others will be dropping their 2nd score this week as well. Please review the sheet above to see how many weeks you have golfed.

  Thanks, and good luck this week!

  This week I decided to shoot a “Mike Trachsel” meaning golfing like crap to start the half. Bill Trachsel also tried this strategy after being the most consistent golfer in the league the first half. We’ll let you know how it goes.

  I hope everyone realized last week was the start of the second half. We are planning for 7 weeks in this half, barring any more rainouts. We are planning to golf during “Trachsel Vacation”, which is August 8th, due to the majority of the league being able to golf. Finally, we will be off next week due to the Independence Day holiday.

  Coming into the 1st half final, we had 8 people with a shot at winning, and really only 2 of those “contenders” actually showed up. In the end Mike Trachsel was the winner, shooting an eagle on the 9th hole to top Terry Connoly by 0.6 strokes. The win also prevented a first half tie with Terry, who finished 2nd in points for the week and for the 1st half.

  This season’s 1st half was very short, with 2 rainouts causing a 6 week half. We also had a very tight race, which hopefully is a reflection of the scoring and HDCP changes made over the last two years. I think more parody in the league is good, giving everyone a chance to win, as long as they step up when it counts. Next half we are planning for 7 weeks, including the “Trachsel vacation” week, as we will have over 50% “in league” golfers available (as last year).

  Congratulations to Steve Trachsel, who with a little help from his wife Amber, gave birth to a baby girl (Delaney) last Monday the 13th. In an unrelated note, Steve was not at golf last week, I’m still not sure why.

  Good luck to everyone the 2nd half!

  Your committee, Dave Burke & Jay Trachsel.

  Golf League Updated 

  I have updated the scores for the golf league “after week 5”.

  This is the final week for the 1st half, and we’ve got a really tight race! It looks like 8 people have a legitimate shot of winning as only 2.5 points separate 1st place from 8th place.

  I want to mention I found an issue with the scoring in my spreadsheet, sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like I had it using HDCP from the CURRENT week instead of LAST week for the CURRENT week’s scores. Example: week 5’s scores should be using week 4’s HDCP, not week 5’s HDCP. If it doesn’t make sense, please follow up with me at golf on Monday. I’m thinking about bringing my laptop this week so we can review the scores in detail if you want. Here is how everyone was affected: Romas & Bill T. are losing 0.5 pts, Terry is losing 2 pts, Matt V. is gaining 0.5 pts, and Mike L. is gaining 2.5 pts. Sorry again to those golfers who were affected!

  Regardless, the race is still close and its anyone’s game, so good luck this week!
