Greetings Fellow Duffers

Birthday Boy Beers wins the opening round at Blackwood with a 78/69 for a 1 under par. The only Duffer to finish under par. Goserud shot par for a close 2nd . In fact, Beers and Goserud were tied at 1 over going to the 18th tee. Beers sank a birdie putt from the fringe for a net eagle to win the match. Goserud was also putting from the fringe in 3, two putted for a 5, net birdie. McFeaters was tied with Beers and Goserud with 2 holes to go, but laid some geese eggs on 17 and 18 and headed to the bar and a beer. Hettinger was the bridesmaid all day in 2nd or 3rd place and finished 3rd.

We had 11 Duffers and a guest of Leary (Bob from Seattle Washinton) play the nicely prepared course. Everything was green and lush and slow. Compared to last week, the putts were coming up short on the slow greens. Not much of a roll in the fairways. Roughs were thick. Lots of cussing going on throughout the course.

Below are the results and the points standings after the first week.

Dinner was at Blackjax with fairly prompt service. However, the first of our three groups probably finished golf about an hour before the second group and patiently waited for the later groups to get there. We were out of there by about 7pm.

Next week is Lebanon bound...if it does not rain!


Thanks again for letting me win today for my birthday. Everyone did a great job at faking their bad shots!

Peace out. Statman BeerZ

News

Having been unable to find a collective word for the terms par, birdie, eagle, etc., I have coined the term "Mark" since the score card is often "marked up" with a circle, square, etc. to indicate pars, birdies, etc.

Therefore, a "Net Mark" is the "Mark" for the hole after the handicap is applied.
