The Last Tournament of the Year

34 Players - 26 Winners! Dec. 7, 2019

Highlights

 Jeff Patrick had his best tournament round of the year (maybe his life), shooting a two over par 74. Jeff made 2 birdies (#9 & &11) coupled with just 4 bogeys. His 74 was the low round of the day and first place in the A flight.
 

Three players tied with the low net score of 72 in the B Flight. Dave Rimbach,Larry Mayhew and Anthony  Carruthers each posted a 7 on one of the final 3 holes but in the end Rimbach was declared the winner and Mayhew the runner-up.

Roger Smith and Greg Shaw both finished with net 70s. They both finished with matching 35s on the back nine. Both players finished their rounds in the rain. Roger proved to be the better “mudder” and   finished with a better final 3 holes. 
Five C flighters began the front or back nine with a rather devlish start 6-6-6.

Congratulations to Cameron Mathison who is the first player in the AGC history to win all three of the club’s biggest awards. In 2019 he won the Falco Cup, the Club Championship, and the Player of the Year Championship. 

The Blind Draw

November 17, 2019

Kibet & Craven go low; Fennessy & Ferry hang on for net. 

So the teams were formed with a blind draw on Thursday night.  Blind is a good word for it as the process for the draw involves three random draws eliminating any possibility of an advantage for any player. This year members decided to change the format so that each partner had a larger impact on the finishing scores. Instead of the usual Better Ball format the Scrambles format was utilized. 

Six of the fourteen teams posted a one under par 35 for nine holes. But only one team posted it twice. John Kibet and Jim Craven claimed that feat and won the low gross competition with a two under par 70. They birdied the first hole and most importantly played the par threes in one under par. Although they were tied after nine with two other teams they won by 3 strokes over Jeff Patrick and Tim Sweetland. Patrick and Sweetland were two over on the front nine but made 4 threes on the back to finish just one over par. 

The Net side of the competition was closer than close. Bill Fennessy and new member, Joe Ferry, finished with a 65.5 and took first by a half stroke. Their birdie on the 18th hole made the difference. John Short & Lindy Mayhew played a solid round but their bogey on #18 left them a half stroke behind the leaders. Mike Mennes and Roger Smith made a gallant effort and finished just two strokes behind the leaders with a 67.5 and third place. 

Other Notes

           *The lowest score for a hole was 2. Short & Mayhew made theirs on #6 while Kibet & Craven made theirs on #15. 

*The highest score on a hole was a 7. Made on the par 5 4th hole. For this team it came on the heels of a double bogey 6 on the third hole. 

* The Most Consistent Team Award goes to Charlie Huff & Jamie Campbell. They made 9 straight fours on the back nine (two for birdies; two for bogeys) and an even par 36. They actually made a four on the 9th hole so they had 10 straight.  
* A fun day of golf was had by all. The highest nine hole score was 41 & lowest was 35.
