Greetings Fellow Duffers
STATISTICIAN’S NOTES
Another great year of golf is in the books. Outgoing Prez Kenny Rick ran a good schedule and a nice banquet, and whatever inroads he has with God or Mother Nature to get us nice weather every Thursday, we need the inside scoop on how to do that.
Attached is the stats handout for whomever missed the banquet, or whomever likes to save stuff on their hard drive (Bonneville).
Congratulations again to our surprise Points Champion Dave Dietrich. He flew under the radar all year, building his handicap up for the championship run, and scored two wins. Dynamite Dave only played 3 of the 5 championship rounds and won 2 of the 3! He went from 10th to 1st in the final week! If this was a presidential election, people would have stormed the club house, said the scorecards were fake, and asked for a shot recount!
I feel bad for Tom Goserud, he lead the final two weeks of points during the Championship, only to lose by 1 point! Tom was just trying to Make Golf Great Again... I actually had his announcement and photo ready for the Stats program and had to change it. True story...
For those of you who missed it, Flott won the Most Improved Golfer. His handicap went down the most this year, by 2.7 strokes. He shoots way under his age every week! I guess that’s not hard to do when you’re 92.... In all seriousness, I truly hope to play as consistently as Mike does when I retire. Hats off to the Thomas Jefferson lookalike for being a terrific golfer by shooting in the 70’s every week.
And congratulations to our incoming 2025 Prez Jim Rubright! (do we still say “congratulations” to incoming Prez’s??) A great choice to lead us. We look forward to any new ideas and courses he might bring.
A final thanks to the Hettingers for the cupcake takeaways at the banquet. The Cup Cake Club has been a fantastic addition to Thursday Evenings! It’s good to know that the cupcakes are heart and diabetic healthy.
Peace out till spring.
