  After a close race in both A and B flight, Jay Trachsel and Mike Lewandowski are the respective winners. Congratulations! Jay was able to overcome a 1 point deficit for the win, although it appears he tried to give it away with a triple and double bogey on hole #8 & #9. Luckily for him, Mike matched his futility and Terry was already too far behind. In B flight it wasn’t even close, as Mike Lewandowski cruised to an easy victory with his lowest raw score of the year. Nice job to both Jay and Mike!

  Overall I think it was a great 1st half with 4 of 7 golfers in each flight having a chance to win in the last week. Hopefully we can have an equally competitive 2nd half!

  Final note, 3 golfers dropped a score: Terry Connolly, Mike Trachsel, and Mike Lewandowski.

  Good luck, and see you on the course!

  This is the last week of the 1st half and there are several contenders in both A and B flight. In A flight, Mike Trachsel holds a slim 1 point lead over Terry and Jay with Jeff close behind at only 2 points back. Meanwhile in B flight, Mike Lewandowski’s odds are a bit better with a 2.5 point lead over Jack and a 2 point lead over Nathan and Steve. There are 4 potential winners in each respective flight based on today’s outcome, good luck to those still in the race!

  As of this morning, weather.com says 50-60% chance of scattered T-storms from 4-8pm. I hope its wrong as it usually seems to be since we have such a close race down the stretch. As always, we’ll play it by ear.

  Good luck, and see you on the course!

  We’re winding down to the end of the first half, and points are tight in both leagues. Both Mikes — Lewandowski and Trachsel are trying to run away with their respective flights. However, someone is within 2 and 3 points respectively so the race is still close.

  Barring any rainouts, our plan is to have 2 – 8 week halves, so there’s still time to make up for lost points!

  Finally, there will be no golf next Monday (5/27) for Memorial Day, but we’ll resume the following Monday (6/3).

  Good luck, and see you on the course!

  Wow, there were some low scores this week, too bad mine wasn’t one of them! There were two 37s shot by Mike T. and Matt V. Nice! The main difference was 6 strokes in HDCP which gave Matt the big edge in low net.

  Please note there will be no golf next week due to the Memorial Day holiday.

  Finally on a personal note, my family and I welcomed our second child into the world early Friday morning. Nicholas Daniel Burke was born on 5/17 at 3:33AM weighing in at 8lbs 12oz and 22″ long. Mommy and baby are both doing well, and little Matthew is still trying to figure it all out. The main indicator of just how well they’re all doing if you see me at golf or not! 🙂

  Good luck, and see you on the course!

  What an interesting week for side bets! Congratulations to Bill Trachsel for taking home $44 for the hole 3 greenie. Also congratulations to Mike Lewandowski for winning low net, it only took a 19.3 average to do so. You’re lucky the other high handicap, Romas, didn’t get in because he would have won it by almost 2 strokes. Finally congratulations to Nick Angelosanto for his sweet bogey on #1, which netted him a skin. Really guys? Really? Nobody else (me included) could even bogey #1? Yikes.

  Looks like we’ve got some good battles shaping up in both A and B flight, with small margins between 1st and 6th in each. Even the basement dwellers, Jack and I, still have an outside chance albeit smaller with each passing week.

  Good luck, and see you on the course!

  Week 3 is over and now everyone has an official avg, whether it’s carryover from last year or from golfing 3 weeks this year. Therefore, everyone can now participate in the low weekly net side bet.

  Also, I’ve split the league into “A” flight and “B” flight based on current performance. The table to the right shows each person’s HDCP and its rank vs. the entire league. The top 7 were put in “A” flight and the bottom 7 were put in “B” flight. The one exception was Matt VanHollebeke who really stinks right now, but I’m not going to let him sandbag his way into “B” flight. Therefore, Nick Angelosanto was placed in “B” flight even though he was the #7 rank. Jay and I have yet to discuss the A/B flight setup so it may change, but for now it is what it is. Hopefully everyone agrees.

  See you on the course!

  Wow, great to have so many golfers in the league again! Its nice to see 4 scoresheets, maybe we can actually get 4 “foursomes” out there or even 5 groups! That would be cool. As a result, the side bets are a bit more interesting. Congratulations to Nathan on the greenie for hole 7. Everyone please save the greenie on hole 3 for me so I can win it when I come back next week.

  Sorry I wasn’t at golf last week, and unfortunately won’t be there this week either. Have fun out there, I hear the weather is going to be great!

  See you on the course!

  What a great start to the 2013 season. Who would have thought we’d have weather in the 60’s in mid April? Of course there was snow on my porch this morning so go figure.

  We’ve got quite a few new golfers this year, which is great! As a result, it will take us a few weeks before points are official since those golfers need to establish handicaps first. Since it looks like we have at least 12 regular golfers, we’re planning to do 2 flights this year. Who ends up in what flight remains to be seen and we won’t have a decision until handicaps are established, so we’ll need 3 weeks to determine that as well. Therefore as I mentioned, the points displayed on this sheet are not official, but should give a general idea as to how you did. Anyway, let Jay or myself know if you have any comments/concerns.

  Welcome to all the new golfers!

  See you on the course!

  Golf League Updated (2013 Start) 

  Welcome to the Tri-V Golf League, 2013 edition! As of now, weather.com says its going to be 68 degrees which is hard to believe considering I’m looking at snow flurries out my window right now. Oh well, as always we’ll play it by ear and hope for the best.

  This year I want everyone to focus on one thing: golfing better than Mike Trachsel. This year he’s going for his 4th consecutive league championship, and someone has to stop his early sandbagging, then actually trying; er… dominance.

  Please let Jay or myself know if you’re planning to get in on the 1st half, 2nd half, or both halves ASAP so we can set up the points. My understanding is we’ll be adding some new golfers this year, so points will be up in the air for a few weeks until they’ve established averages and we can get it all figured out. Just as last year, we’ll be using 100% HDCP.

  See you on the course!

  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!
