10/4/2025- Congratulations to John Powers! That excited man you see up top is 83 years old and got his first hole in one today on the 9th hole in our 6/6/6 tournament. His tee shot from 135 yards away hit the front of the green and unlike most shots that hit the green and plug, this one kept rolling and rolling until it struck the flagstick and dropped in for the ace! Great moment for John, his son, and his friends and for our club.

Obviously overshadowed but a new member Craig Russell knocked in an eagle on Hole #1 today. That shot along with some great play by partner Dan Pabalate earned them the top spot today. The ace in the Powers twosome helped get them the second place prize. Rob Coon and Rod Petkovic played very well today as a team to earn the third place winnings. Norb Huber and Greg Rose will share the fourth place prizes with Alec Baumert and Matt Quinn.

If you are wondering how I calculated the scores (and I know you are), the first six holes I took the best net score per hole. I gave each team 50% of their remaining pops for the scramble and alternate shot. For example, Alec and I had a combined handicap of 37 pops. We used 13 on the first six holes, leaving 24 for the final 12, giving us 12 pops on the rest of round. If you are wondering if I was on drugs when I thought of this scoring system (and I know you are), I was not.

Our next tournament is our final trophy tournament of 2025, the annual two man four ball format tournament. It's the first six holes of today's round but played the whole way through. The top three teams will get some hardware for their mantle at our awards banquet on November 8, 2025 at Cattlemen's. Our VP, Steve Suthers, has set up a google document that I will share with you in the next couple of days through an email. You can sign up via that particular form.

Last thing- next tournament is a 7:30 SHOTGUN start because we will hold the final men's club meeting of 2025. We'll discuss the renewal period, I'll share the schedule for next year (still needs approval from the course) and we will vote on the officers for 2026.

Following the meeting, if you guys are interested, my brothers and I are having a party for my parents. They are celebrating their 50th anniversary but it also close to my dad's birthday. For those who don't know, my dad has been battling brain cancer since February. He's been a member since 2008 and has enjoyed all the people he's met at the club. It's been his one social outlet. If you want to stick around and say hi to him and have a taco (we're hiring a taco caterer), that would be cool. No obligation but the invitation is there.

I'll see you in two weeks!
