    Golf League Updated 

    After four weeks into the second half, the points story is starting to unfold. In A flight it’s looking like a three way race, with Mike, myself, and Nick all within 1.5 points. B flight is a little tighter but so far Nate and Matt are leading with Dale and Brian still within striking distance. Nate must have started practicing more, as he’s been well under his average from previous years. Meanwhile Brian has seemingly snapped out of his midseason funk, posting good scores the last three weeks.

    Last week marked the halfway point of the second half, so there’s still plenty of time to make a run! Barring any rainouts, we should have four weeks, plus one week for the A/B flight final.

    Finally, Jeff, Lew, and Nate all dropped a score this week. Nick, Jay, Bill, Dale, and Steve will drop a score with their next round.

    So come to find out, most people in B flight are a bunch of sandbaggers. This week, 6 out of 8 net scores came from B flight. The main highlighted sandbagger of the week is Matt VanHollebeke, who shot a 41 even after almost hitting me from the 2nd tee when I was playing my 2nd shot on 1. Anyway, nice job Matt.

    Several golfers dropped a score this week, including Mike, Brian, Matt, and Jack. Next week, Jeff and Lew will drop a score.

    No really big news to share this week except the addition of Nathan to B flight. There was some discussion about what flight he should belong in, but after reviewing his previous average, B flight was the correct choice. Welcome back Nathan!

    I dropped a score last week, and Mike, Matt, and Brian will drop a score the next time they golf.

    Hole #3 had no winner so it will be worth $12 plus whoever gets in this week.

    Good luck, and see you on the course!

    Golf League Updated 

    Last week was the first week of the second half and with it, we’ve added some golfers, giving us seven in each flight. I’m glad to have more in each flight, as I feel it improves the competition since points are a little harder to come by.

    Several golfers dropped a score after last week, including Nick, Jay, Dale, John, and Steve. Brian and I (Dave) will be dropping a score with our next round.

    Congratulations to Brian for deciding to start golfing (sandbagger) after three horrible weeks. He and his new HDCP came back with a vengeance to win low net. Also congrats to Jeff and I, for winning greenies this week. Jeff is dialed in to hole #7! I didn’t officially check, but I think he’s hit it the last three times golfing. Nice work!

    For those who have not paid for the second half, please get $30 to Jay asap. Also please let Jay know if the “PD?” column is incorrect for your name so we can update it. It should indicate which half or halves you have paid for already. Obviously a “1”, “2”, or “1&2” denotes which half or halves for which you have paid.

    Good luck, and see you on the course!

    Golf League Updated 

    Last week concluded the 1st half of the season and the winners were Jay Trachsel (A Flight) and John Mackson (B Flight). Jay had the 1st half locked up so he obviously sandbagged this week, shooting 7 stokes higher than average. Nice. Mackson however, had to actually try since there was basically a 3 way race for B flight with Dale and Lew only 2 points back. Mackson had control over his eventual destiny as B Flight winner, and did not disappoint, as he finished low net for the league. Congratulations to both and good luck to everyone in the 2nd half.

    Regarding the 2nd half, here is the proposed configuration (see week 8 printout) based on current averages. This is assuming Steinhauer, Tim, Steve, and Bill will all be “in”. Starting this week, the 1st week of the 2nd half, points will be calculated using this configuration. There will still be only 4 places receiving 4, 3, 2, and 1 point just like the 1st half.

    There were two really close scores in each flight for first and second place. In A flight, Jay edged out Jeff by 0.2 strokes to lock up A flight. In B flight, Lew was able to beat Matt by 0.3 for first. A flight is locked up, but there’s a three way battle for B flight, with Mackson in control but both Lew and Dale only two points behind.

    Three golfers dropped a score today: Jeff, Lew, and Matt.

    After some committee discussion and getting commitments from Steve and Bill, we have decided to keep two flights. This gives us five in each flight, and six in each flight for the second half. I have divided everyone into A and B flight based on their current averages. We will be awarding points to four places per flight per day.

    Since we had a rainout earlier in this half, we will only golf seven weeks in the first half. Unless there are any more rainouts, we will golf eight weeks in the second half with the A/B flight final after that. Therefore counting this week, there are only two more weeks left in this half.

    Finally three golfers, Mike T., Brian, and myself dropped a score either last time or two times ago. Jeff, Mike L., and Matt will drop a score their next time golfing.

    Golf League Cancelled! 

    Due to inclement weather, the golf league is cancelled today. I’m at the course now and can hear thunder and the radar went from bad to worse.  Sorry for the late notice, but I wanted to check it out for sure.  See you next week!

    -Dave

    The main item of interest this week is regarding how to structure the flights/points this season. With the amount of golfers out and others not exactly committed to the 2nd half, we have 10 golfers playing for points this year. It sounds like we might add 2 more for the 2nd half, but again no firm commitments. Jay and I have discussed, but I think I’d like to get the league’s opinion about 2 options:

    OPTION 1: 1 flight and top 6 places get points weekly. This option is shown above in the current sheet.
    OPTION 1a: Same as option 1, but there are 2 winners to each half so we have 4 playing for the championship.

    OPTION 2: 2 flights and top 4 places get points weekly. This option is shown in the table at lower right. Each golfer is shown in order of their current average, which is how the flights were decided. Each persons hypothetical points are shown as well.

    Please let me know your preference before next week as I will be finalizing the scoring system at that time.

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Looks like everyone is pretty rusty based on the scores I’m seeing last week. Either that or everyone decided to sandbag early. Anyway, looks like good weather this week so I hope to see more regulars out there.

    PLEASE NOTE (again): Flights and points are just projections until we officially know who is golfing, averages, etc. I was hoping to set by week 3, but based on the high number of missing regulars so far, maybe next week.
