Just a few things to point out about the 2015 calendar:

There are 5 open dates at this time that Mark will not fill until we get the Wanaki & Hon-E-Kor Challenge matches set. Steve & Dan, will work with their counterparts at these other clubs to make this a priority.

Secondly, the last weekend in September was set up to facilitate guys staying overnight in either Fond du Lac or Oshkosh, as both the courses we are playing that weekend are within a 30-45 minute drive.

Mark did reach out to the River Club, and they responded that they only did events with groups like ours on Mondays.

League Match Play will be opt-in, rather than putting everyone in.

Spring kick-off meeting is Monday, March 9th, at 6:30pm at Currie Park.

End of 2014 Season Meeting Minutes

Effective as of 5:00pm on October 5, 2014 the following action was taken regarding the election of officers for the 2015 season continuing in effect until such time as votes by the membership or resignation of the individual(s) the following officers were elected;

Mark Cuthbert - President

Jeff Camosy - Vice President

Bill Zolandz - Secretary

Brian Pederson - Treasurer

The only change in officers was the election of Brian Pederson as Treasurer, with this election there needs to be a change in the signatory authority at Associated Bank. All currently authorized individuals on the account should be removed and Brian Pederson should be added as the new official representative of the Currie Park Men's Golf Club.


Currie Park's PGA Professional Scott Walecki would like to start a week night 9 hole golf league that would tee off between 5:30pm and 6:00pm on either Wednesday or Thursday for approximately 12 weeks.

Beer and Brats after New Berlin Hills TOC Event

Gentlemen – 

I’ll provide free beer, soda, and brats for anyone who wants to come over to my house after the New Berlin Hills TOC event tomorrow.  I’m only 10 minutes away from the course.   I’ll have enough food and drink for all 16 players, so hopefully you will all come over.

Directions are simple, even Darrell could follow them if he were playing.  Go straight out from the course north to the end of the road, and then turn left on Honey lane.  Go a half mile to the stop sign at Sunny Slope and turn right.  Go 2.1 miles to Watertown Plank and turn right (East).  Go .8 miles through the village, across the tracks and turn left at Blue Ridge.  Go to the second intersection and my house is on the Northwest corner of Blue Ridge Blvd and Elmhurst Parkway – 1605 Blue Ridge.

The weather looks plenty good enough to sit out on the deck.  Hope to see you all there.

Wayne Suess - Hole In One

Currie Second Team Captures 6th Consecutive Championship

In a truly nail biting season finale at Dretzka on Sunday the Currie Second Team hung on for dear life to take the season title by a very narrow 6 points, 1081 to Greenfields 1075.  Brown Deer finished in third with 1028. 

We took second place in today’s event with 216 points, losing to Greenfield by 13, but we entered the event with a 19 point cushion, and thus our scant 6 point margin for the season.  The issue remained in doubt right down to the end, and wasn't settled until the last scorecard was turned in.  It was a nerve wracking wait for those of us on hand to the conclusion.

Doug Bowring led our boys with 24 points, shooting a dazzling 73 in the process.  Tom Condella, Rich Saks, and Bill Zolandz all chipped in with 20 points, and Jeff Camosy captured 19.  Twelve of our 16 combatants took 10 or more points.  Mike O’Neil carded a 75, Mark Cuthbert and Bob Cristan 82, and Darrell Frenzel and Condella 83.   

For the season Bowring took the Currie total points title with 87, a 17.4 average in his 5 matches.  Your humble captain was just one point back at 86, Saks had 84, Zolandz 83, and Camosy 81. 

Twenty seven members played at least one match for the team this year, and all of them got some points. 

We now have 8 months or so to bask in the glory before we start the quest for 7 in a row next May.  In meantime I will be sending out the mandatory exercise and nutritional guidelines to be adhered to by all of you in the off season.  We’ll expect everyone to return to the team in tip top physical and mental condition to start the 2015 drive.

All the results are summarized below.

That’s it for now.  Congratulations and thanks to everyone for making this another memorable year for the Currie Second Team. 

Jack
