And the tide churns … week 10

It was quite a day with, by my estimate, a couple of potential personal bests, as well as several surprising one sided contests that resulted in a change in the top spot as well as the tightening of several spots at the top of the league.

Once again you’ve collectively managed to prevent ANY skins from being awarded and so you’ll be playing near pin / skins next week with an extra $30 in the skins pot. That easiest of par 3’s, #8, yielded to Jerrold Hubbell’s tee shot so he’s taking home the $20 near pin pot this week… next week you’ll find the tape measure next to the white pine backing the 2nd green…

We’ve got another 3 weeks of regular season play before we begin a 3 week, 4 team round robin to determine our league winner. For the teams “out of the running” do let me know if you want a “grudge match” against a particular team and I’ll do my best to put them on your schedule in weeks 14, 15, or 16.

Lenny / Derek jumped up in the standings by both shooting net under par; Derek posted (his best ever?) a week leading gross 33 net 25! We’ll see what moves the “gold tee team” has up there sleeves in these final weeks…
The original “Giant Killers” beat the “New Era Giant Killers” by 3 with a 7-1 comeback over the final 4 holes
John Madeo played with Average Arnie vs. Kenny/Ron … all tied up through 8 holes, Kenny / Ron swept the 9th hole to win by 2
Mitch / Larry pulled the defending champions into the rest of the pack … Larry shot lights out in the battle of the gold tees – +7 gross … net 26 !
Team 6 back in first place with most of their margin of victory coming over the final 5 holes outscoring team 10 7-3 in the span… can they hold on?
