We survived the heat and humidity yesterday. The format of FBT was set up to assist any team that may have a player done in by the heat. Fortunately everyone made it through unscathed. Different winners for a change with relatively close scores. Not much else to say about that.
We had another SOTD winner on Wednesday. Two rolls for $36.00 by Ron B. That's a lot of winners in the past month. Let's hope we have a little break and build the pot back up. Surprisingly we still have $61.00. That's due to heavy play over the last two days.
Beware of the heat alert and take appropriate action. See ya at the training table.

PS - Another great lobster dinner. Thanks SD for all your work.

Good, But Not Good Enough
How do you shoot -18 in 3BB and finish 3rd? Not hard to do when you play with the JR/SR group. Even the group at -21 was open mouth in amazement when they found out they didn't win. Needless to say that LTG's team came through again. Future pairings will take into consideration who his partners were, and every effort will be made to insure they aren't together.
All that said some pretty good golf was played. Steve S shot 79 and Bob K shot 77. I'd say that's pretty darn good. Even most others were right on their handicaps. The stars must have aligned for a short time.
The lobster dinner is tonight. A big crowd has made reservations. North of 100 from what I heard. I'm sure we'll have a great time.
Stay cool over the next couple of days. The 90's are forecasted.

Great Final Round
The Nurse and I were riveted to the TV Sunday morning watching The Open. We were rooting for Phil all the way, and couldn't believe he could play as well as he did and get beat. That probably was the best final round I've ever seen in a major tournament. I know Nicklaus vs. Watson was a classic, but I can't say I really remember seeing it. Wish they all could be as good as the 2016 tournament. Let's hope the PGA will have as much drama.
The Appraiser did it again. He rolled five fives in two rolls to win $50.00 on Thursday. We've had a rash of recent winners, but still have $61.00 in the pot. Some would say "not worth winning", but personally I never turn down any win. Wonder who will be next.
The sign up sheet for the Hopkins Invitational is on the clipboard. If you plan on playing on August 11 get your name on the list.
See ya at the training table.

The Open
The Open is one of my favorite tournaments. There are two reasons for this. I really appreciate the style of golf you have to play to win. Second I like the links courses they have in the rota. There is also a third reason which has nothing to do with golf. I'm an early riser and the TV coverage comes on in the wee hours of the morning. Normally once I'm awake I'm up for the day. Today was no exception; awoke at 5:30 AM and decided I might as well watch the early coverage at Royal Troon. After hitting the head I found my favorite recliner tuned in to the Golf Channel got up to speed, settled back and promptly fell asleep. During my "nap" the whole leader board changed. Woke at 7:00 AM and watched some good golf until 10:30 AM.
The last couple of days have been some real scorchers. A little uncomfortable to play golf. But, since most of us didn't have enough sense to stay inside in the air conditioning there were a couple of "hotly contested" days of competition. Mostly the same winners. We finally did get some much needed rain last evening, and today looks to be pleasant.
Off to the shower so I can get ready for another day of fun.

The Big Time
I guess we have finally hit the big time when we get local TV coverage for our tennis program . Granted it was only BCSN, but it was a plus for the club to get that type of coverage. I know little about tennis, but from what I saw it looked like great fun and well run. And it doesn't look like the course is any the worse for wear. Based on the star power I saw on TV I may have to get a few autographs. Congrats to all who played.
Saturday golf was another hard fought match. Dr. AH and I were in serious danger of losing a few $ until we managed to pull out a win on the last hole. I managed to break their hearts when I made a lenghty putt for par to put the match out of reach. Even though I putted well all day I think that final putt was one of my best all season.
It looks like summer is here to stay for a while. This next week is forecasted to be warm/hot and dry. Perfect for golf. See ya at the training table.

Pro Day
Where does the time go to? Seems like just yesterday it was the end of June and we were all getting ready for the 4th of July holiday. Well that has come and gone and we are well into July.
Yesterday was Pro Day for the JRSRs. Brad and Mike joined our group for a little fun. Since we had a total of 15 we paired up into 3 man teams for a 3BB. Yea, I know it's a tough format, but I wanted to show our Pros how effective their lessons have been. OTR was overheard to say that he didn't want anyone on his team who had taken a recent lesson. He said that everyone in that category he was recently paired with couldn't hit a ball past their shadow. That left a pretty small pool to draw from - myself and one other player (neither one of us was playing worth a lick either). So I paired him up with M. Stone and Twinkle Toes. The only big thing out of that group was an ace on #17 by M. Stone (from the blue tees). Even that couldn't put them in the money. Brad's team walked away with first place at -3. It took a scorecard playoff for second. But my team was a close winner of DFL (and got our money back). Any way we all had a great time and are looking forward to doing it again.
The Steve H Memorial with the college girls is scheduled for August 11th. We are expecting a number of players form UT. We also think Cleveland State to be represented and our hopeful that BGSU will be there. Details will follow as we get closer to the day. I finally located my notes from 2015 and finish the trophy (to be unveiled on Aug. 11).
Stay cool and keep hydrated.

PS - Almost forgot. Kennel Club won $73 in the SOTD (1/2 the pot).

Winners
Today is the first of July and the time for accounting for the prior month. For many of you that means bills must be paid. Well that's true for me also, but it also means it is time to publish an updated list of the leading money winners. Now this list isn't as impressive as the PGA's but but certainly important to those on it. Check the bulletin board going into the locker room for the leading winners through June 30, 2016. Little surprise about who's leading.
We've had a lot play the past couple of days because the weather has been perfect. The pace of play has been better than average when we are able to play in threesomes. It's amazing it's that much faster when you don't have to chase down that fourth ball. The pairings can be a challenge but should work out if the handicap system really works.
Remember this is the holiday weekend. Besides the club's big party (650+ reservations) there's a lot going on in the area. Hope everyone has fun.

PS - Did you see the picture in The Blade of the wanted bank robber. Has anyone seen Slap Shot recently? There sure looked like a strong resemblance to the suspect. Plus there was a rumor he was seen walking around with a big bankroll.
