Currie One-Man Scramblers,

Mother nature has been kind to us for our events this season and today was no different. In spite of the forecast for rain, we escaped with barely a drop. Good scores in this format are the product of skill and good decision making on how to make the best use of your extra shots. Based on the scores, some of you did that very well. Below are the top finishers and payouts in each flight. Congrats to those who cashed in.

Thanks also to everybody that participated in our club events this season. I hope you all had fun, I know I did.

Club Event at Scenic View Country Club - Results

Scenic View Event Participants,

Except for a couple of brief drizzles, we pretty much escaped the rain. Unfortunately, we weren't quite as lucky with the mosquitoes which were in abundance and a bit annoying. It took some serious focus to not let it affect your game. Based on a number of fine performances, many of you were able to do that. The team and skin payouts are detailed below. Congrats to Larry Dake and Pete Lapp who won the 2 man bestball event at 10 under par. I think it has been awhile since they have seen the winners circle. Congrats and well done! Although this was a team event I have to give a shout out to some fine individual performances. Honorary member Lee Gardner turned in a gross even par score of 72 followed by Cristan with a 75, Ullenberg with a 77, and Dake with a 79. Bill Zolandz fired a net 66 followed by Jack Bruss with a net 70. Jacks round included a gross 37 score on the back 9...lights out, Jack. Nice playing guys! Thanks to Doug Schafer for helping out with the scoring and skins payouts.

Hope everybody had fun. Our next club event is at Rolling Meadows on September 19th.

MCPLA 61st Annual Arnold Walker County Championship - Results

Good weather and good course conditions made for a great tournament with some low scores being shot in several flights. I would like to thank PGA Professional Andy Barrett, his awesome assistant Tony and Course Superintendent Tim Wegner and his staff for great conditions and awesome help in making this tournament a success. I also had the help of some great volunteers each day. Starter Glen Jaeger, and on-course help from Rich Saks, Bob Cristan and Bob Gerszewski made my job easier and I thank them all. The use of the BlueGolf system was a nice addition and made the live scoring a great addition to the Tournament.

Congratulations go out to Jack Schultz for winning the Championship flight for the first time. He joined his father David as Arnold Walker winners as David won in 1992!! Dave Ullenberg blistered the A flight winning his first Arnold Walker title. Dominic Razzano captured the B flight by 6 shots and John Quinlan won the C flight in a similar fashion. It was awesome seeing so many younger players enter. This ensures that the tournament will continue for a long time.

Gift cards will be mailed out to everyone not having accounts set up at their home clubs computers. The winners will also receive name plates for their plaques with their gift cards.

Second Team at Whitnall Park Golf Course - Results

Gentlemen –

Well, it hurts to say this, but we didn’t quite get the job done today out at Whitnall. Greenfield won the event with 126 points and we were second with 115, but they started the day just 10 points behind us, so if you figured out the math, you know they won the season by 1 stinking point over us. That is correct, 1 point, 592 for them to 591 for us. It was a close match all the way down to the end between us, Greenfield, and Oakwood, but Greenfield’s last 2 players came in with 17 and 18 points to take the top spot. Congratulations to them and their captain, Jim Sell. It was a great season for them and for Second Team.

That stops our 3 season win streak, but we’ll come back next year ready to start a new streak.

Our point leaders today were Brian Pederson and Dave Ullenberg with 16 each and Scott Brandt with 15. Ullenberg was our medalist with 77. Dominic Carini and Brandt shot 80. Steve Amble won a skin with a birdie on 4, Ullenberg took one with birdie on 15, and Ullenberg also took closest to the pin on 15 to round out our individual awards.

Our point leader for the season was Director Pederson with 58. Steve Jaeger finished with 49, Gerry McGrath 47, Mark Cuthbert 44, yours truly 42, and Darrell Frenzel 41. Twenty one different players competed for the team this season, winning an average of 9.9 points per man per match. Too bad it wasn’t 10.

The usual summaries are listed below. Don’t forget to post your own scores. They will not be posted for you.

Once again, it was my pleasure and honor to captain a great bunch of guys.

Thanks,

Jack
