New Men's Club Memorial Two Ball Tournament - August 14

/

Remember the "two ball calcutta" tournament years ago with the massive cash prize pools? This is a new take on that fun event. It is now a one day 18 hole event and is scheduled for August 14.

As the event name suggests, this tournament is being held in memory of the many great men's club members who have passed away.

Two man teams will be selected by a blind draw, and the format is 2 man best ball. Entry is open to Men's Club members only. The entry fee is $20 payable in the pro shop, and there is also a $50 players pool that you can enter the day of the event.

We hope you give it a try -  see you there!

Randy Grover Cards Ace

/

Congratulations to Randy Grover for his hole-in-one on #14 on August 27, 2015!

The hole was up front, but he wasn't able to see the ball go in the hole from the tee, so he got a nice surprise when he reached the green.

So far, he has the only hole-in-one in a Men's Club event in either 2014 or 2015. Unless someone else adds another this season, Randy will pocket the entire $1,200 pot!

Przybyla Wins "Eric Slam" in Club Championship

/

Eric Przyblya won the Club Championship shortly after also winning the Senior Club Championship, earning him the prestigious honor some are calling the "Eric Slam".

Eric slept fitfully on a first day lead, then held on through blustery, autumn-like conditions to capture the win, and the trophy, in the Championship Flight. Travis Lester finished two strokes back to take second place, and Jeff Olson and Shawn Walsh finished another two strokes back to tie for third.

Other winners in the gusty two-to-three club wind were Jay Griep in the First Flight, Jeff Rak and Scott Billehus (tie) in the Second Flight, Jim Stjern in the Third Flight, Rick Guzik in the Fourth Flight and Larry Kitt in the Fifth Flight.

Brinker Claims Putting Championship

/

Brian Brinker carded a solid even par 90 to claim this year's Putting Championship honors. Pat Sharpe was nipping at his heels and claimed second place with a 91. Bill Lester took third with a 93.

Their prize winnings plus the player's pool made for an impressive payout in addition to their well-earned bragging rights.

Thanks to Larry and his staff for setting up another fun and challenging putting course.
