2012 Playoffs - Round One

The arrival of the playoffs seemed to elevate the play of many of the members tonight with some wonderful scores turned in.

Congrats Norm Toyne on your 20th Ace.

Jim Conley posted a very impressive round of 25 which came just one week too late to win the Individual Low Gross title for the season but it went a long way towards helping his Dubbers team stay close in the "B" Division.

Norm Toyne also turned in the fourth hole in one in five weeks for the league and the 20th ace of his career as he sank his tee shot on the 97 yard sixth hole. Congratulations Norm on the milestone.

The Standings after the first nine playoff holes are as follows:

"A" Division

1. Rolling Stones (89)

2. Southpaws (92)

3. KGB (95)

4. Fat Shafts (102)

3. Latecomers (107)

4. Hackers (110)

Next Wednesday night we play nine more holes from the white tees followed by 18 holes from the blue tees on Saturday September 8th and the wrap-up party.

Fat Shafts Edge Dubbers For Final "A" Spot

The only thing left to be decided heading into the final night of the regular season was the last available spot in the "A" Flight of the Playoffs. 

The Dubbers held a one point lead over the Fat Shafts but with the Fat Shafts sweep of the Bogies and the Dubbers only managing four points against the Rolling Stones, the Fat Shafts came from behind to grab the final spot by a single point.

Also taking points tonight were the Southpaws with six and an impressive regular season league championship with a total of 120 points. The KGB also grabbed all six points in their match. Taking four points were the CCCP and Whizbangers. The Hackers and Latecomers grabbed two points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Terry Letch on hole #1 and Steve Westlake on #10. Scott Reilly was the 50/50 winner.

The Playoffs will start next week with nine holes for the next two Wednesday's and a final 18 holes and the wrap-up party on Saturday September 8th. Good Luck to all!

Wilkinson Starts With A Bang

Kyle Wilkinson stepped up to the tee on hole #17, his starting hole for the night, and promptly fired a dart and sank his third career hole-in-one. This makes three weeks in a row that someone has walked away with an ace. Kyle used his 56 degree wedge on the 134 yard hole. Congratulations Kyle!

Kyle Wilkinson all smiles after his hole-in-one.

With only one week remaining before the start of playoffs there's still plenty of room for some changes to take place in the standings. With only one point separating the Dubbers and Fat Shafts for fourth place, the last spot in the "A" division is still in question. The Wedgers are six points back of the Dubbers for fourth and could still be a factor depending on the tie-breaker.

The "C" flight teams are already decided however the seeding there is yet to be determined.

The only thing for certain is that the Southpaws will be the regular season champs with 114 points and a 15 point cushion over the Rolling Stones heading to the final week of play.

The Southpaws missed a chance to add to their impressive total tonight as the Fat Shafts narrowly took all six points up for grabs in their match. Other teams taking six points this evening were the Latecomers, Whizbangers and Rolling Stones. The KGB took five points, the Fivesome earned four, the Dubbers took two while a single point went to the Hackers.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Rick Dean on hole #9 and Peter Hughes on #18. The 50/50 winner was Nick Vangemeren.

Reilly Drains Fourth Ace

Scott Reilly aces 2nd hole.

For the second week in a row our league saw a hole-in-one as Scott Reilly aced the 132 yard 2nd hole. Scott used a 9-iron to grab his fourth hole-in-one ever on his way to a 3 over par round of 30. Congratulations Scott!

Hitting their shots tight on the money holes tonight were Jim Boers on hole #8 while Nick Vangemeren was the Closest to the Pin winner on hole #17. Don St.Denis was this weeks 50/50 winner.

Five of the evenings matches were swept as the Wedgers, KGB, Rolling Stones, Whizbangers and Southpaws took six points each. The Hackers earned four points from the Dubbers who settled for two. 

It's hard to believe that only two weeks of regular season golf remain before playoffs begin. The summer has flown by once again.

Kovanen Aces Third Hole

The hot and muggy conditions were exactly what the right conditions for Don Kovanen tonight as he picked up a hole-in-one. Don used a five iron on the 130 yard third hole to snag his ace. Congratulations Don!

Don Kovanen aced hole #3 tonight.

Dennis Schick nearly aced the 7th hole but had to settle for the Closest to the Pin prize on the front nine. Kevin Wadsworth grabbed his second closest to the pin prize in back to back weeks sticking it close on hole #16. The weeks 50/50 winner was Marco Leone.

As we creep closer to the end of the regular season and teams jockey for division rankings for the playoffs every point becomes more important. Four teams took all six points in their matches with the Rolling Stones, KGB, Southpaws and Latecomers increasing their totals. The Whizbangers earned five points while the Dubbers managed four. The Wedgers earned two points and the Fat Shafts squeaked out a single tally on the night.
