Finally a nice Thursday.  We had 20 golfers today and there were as many 18 hole golfers as there were putters and 9 holers.  The game today was Medal Play with Frank Severn taking first place with a net 62.  Bruce Lomax and John Buford shared second place with a net score of 63.  Mark Atkins won the closest to the pin contest.  Bob Tuttle had the low gross score of 69.

Sign up for lunch on February 2nd.  We still need cooks.

MGA Results – 1-24-2019

January 24th, 2019

A cold, crystal clear morning found five hearty 18 hole golfers (there were nine 9 holers, today was their lunch day) awaiting a lengthy frost delay to begin a game of Nassau. Jay “Nassau” Harbison and Randy Cole tied the front 9 with net 32’s. Jay and Jerry Lee Robinson tied the back nine with net 30’s and Jay won overall with a net 62! Randy Cole was low gross with a 73 and Bob Tuttle won the CTP. Frank (subbing for Doug “Downhill” Miller)

BLGC MGA 9-Holer Report

The golfing competitors today were Greg Kepner, Jim Buckingham, John Moran, Bob Westbrook and me.

By 9:30 a.m. the frost was rapidly disappearing and so once the five pesky 18-holers were out of the way, the Herd was smacking away.

Here’s how the Herd did today:

Putting Competition (handicap adjusted and always subject to change):

1^st Place for $0: a four-way tie; Don Webb, Mac McConahy, C.L. Newsome and Ken Mayne; 0 putts;

Golfing Competition (also handicapped): (winning rank determined by hole handicap, scores for number of holes played, an A.I. algorithm and a toss of the coin)

1^st Place for $0: Jim Buckingham

2^nd Place for $0: Greg Kepner

3^rd Place for $0: Paul Castiglione

4^th Place for $0: John Moran

5^th Place for $0: Bob Westbrook

The Herd didn’t win any $ today because all they paid was $1 for the MGA. They all thought they were getting a great deal! And they did, just so long as there was enough money in the “treasury” for lunch. And there was!

That’s it for another great day of 9-Holer golf at good old Blue Lake.
