The McCleery Men’s Club (MGC) is older than I am. Its inception is celebrated annually with the Anniversary tournament (Anniversay tournament for some of our regular members who were around for the 50th). This is a multi-flight, individual stroke-play tournament, and play welcomed the official start of summer. Don’t worry, the weather will catch up with the calendar soon…
Kudos to Jim Barkwell who played in the Monday groups, in pouring rain, and shot the best NET score overall for the Gold flight (70). Also, congrats to Paul Chu (new member) who shot his best score ever (76) from the Blue tees! Bruce Kennedy took all the younger players to school in the Silver flight, shooting low gross (83) - but since it was from the White tees, he had to take 1st place in the NET category only (poor guy). And, Hung Teh scored the low NET score overall (67) - plus, the closest KP overall on hole #3 (under 6 feet). Congrats, boys!
With the Match Committee away next weekend, we will be looking to other members of the club to keep everything in order for the McCleery Open. We have a full field, and another individual stroke play tournament - 2 flights, Gross and Net prizes. Honey pot will also apply for deuces, KPs, etc.
NOTE: We are getting full registrations every weekend - so take a moment to look ahead at the tournament schedule, and register early! Keep in mind that cancellations need to happen 5 days before the day of play to avoid late-cancellation penalties. Thanks for keeping an eye on the calendar for us.
Best, Christian & the Match Committee
NOTE: An error in the scoring was identified. Updated final Gross/Net results were delayed, but now posted below. Also, I made an error on the HoneyPot spreadsheet, leaving Doug Baird out of the extra prizes when in fact, he was still eligible. I’ve corrected the error. Please check your balance on the HP spreadsheet regularly/weekly, to ensure I’ve done all the math correctly. Thank you!
If you ever notice an error in the reporting, or have questions about scoring, please feel free to contact the Club Captain (Mr. Forgetful) - at mccleerygolfclub@gmail.com. Cheers!
NOTE: players in RED opted to play from a different tee box, thus qualifying for NET prizes only in their flight.
