Points List Champion, Period #2

Jim Jones is our 2nd Trimester Points Champion!!!

He has taken out the competition by a nearly 100 point margin. Hector Betancourt somehow managed not to even finish in the top 6... which was a surprise to everyone who knows how much he DOMINATED the first part of the year.

Chris Harman came in at T18 with NO points... there were quite a few people on the T18 list, so I decided to leave that part blank.

The club wants to congratulate our president for the win and hope he uses his gift card wisely.

3-Man Saticoy Scramble Results!!!

What a turnout we had today. With only a few complaints by "The English Twit" about the winning team's "player stacking"/handicap snafu-ers... the event was a smashing success.

We had mild weather in the early holes and it heated up as the day went on. Sunshine and a couple of near car hits from #8 tee box made for some excitement. Some ladies joined us on the course today, some were playing the Scramble and we had at least two spectators for a rather measly mobile gallery.

Some confusion about how to PLAYOFF for second place wound up biting the Harman/Miller team in the ass... but there are no hard feelings there.

I could regale you with the tales of chip-in eagles (there were at least 2) and we can all bask in the awe of Cody Stewart's -43 final score of 44 after playing 54 holes... but everyone who was at the course has already heard EVERY good shot OVER AND OVER again... so let's just move on already!

River Ridge Victoria Lakes Grand Opening

Tomorrow, August 22nd, FRIDAY:::

The new and improved and mostly old, but newly redesigned and oldly rearranged Victoria Lakes 18 holes will be open for regular play. There are either 3 or 4 completely new holes, and 5-6 re-designed and/or lengthened holes. 8 of the original Victoria Lakes 9 holes are unchanged, and all the holes feature the same grasses throughout. That means the the Vineyard course uses different grass on the greens than does the Victoria Lakes course.

More to follow later on this subject.
