Before we begin let me say, with great sadness, that one of our family has passed – Dan O’ – June 25th. He was with us through every season of our Men’s League, and he tried his darndest to play in our 2023 season, in spite of his declining health. He and his late wife Joyce gladly stepped up, unsolicited, in past years to mind the golf course for a week, allowing me and Julie the opportunity to take a summer week off around Julie’s birthday on July 13 … He loved to golf – here at MGC and at many other courses with friends – he will be sorely missed by many. Tom Squires, his longtime friend and often golf partner, will be playing in Dan’s stead for the remainder of the season. He’s now lost his last contemporary golf buddy – consider asking/calling Tom to play with you when you’re looking for a partner or a fourth… does anyone prefer to play golf alone? Visitation will be Friday, June 30 from 1-3 PM at the Miller Funeral home in Roxbury, followed by a 3PM funeral service and burial at the Roxbury Cemetery. We’ll be in attendance; perhaps you too may consider paying your respects to a fine man and fellow competitor.
Our Near-Pin carryover went back to hole #4 once again and low and behold it was late DanO’s partner Gary Hessberger who snuck his tee shot to 13’3″ to pocket the $30 near pin pot AND last week’s carryover – a $58 win! His birdie on #4 was followed by 5 consecutive pars (31 net 22!) but it didn’t earn him a skin as rejuvenated Mike Lor (28 net 25) covered Gary’s birdie with one of his own. Skins pot was $45 and divided 3 ways for 3 $15 wins: Jamie Wilson birdied #2; Mike Chevy birdied #6; and Ken Steinbuch had the lone bird on #8.
(Still waiting for Florencio’s score vs Average Barney to post team 6 bye week card)
Hi Russ are you alright? You usually have the weeks results posted already.
ooops just a lack of sleep, too far behind on mowing, cooking BBQ, etc. Keep an eye out – posting week 7 now.
