7-13-10  Gentlemen,

A great day of golf was enjoyed by all. The Frisco Lakes Golf course was in very good condition and seems like almost everyone from SBR shot some of their best scores of the year. Even though some good scores will be posted by our SMGA players, our players did not fair very good in the winnings department.

There were 67 players (22 players from SBR and 45 players from Frisco Lakes) in the field today. The tournament included two formats – Match Play and Team Play. The Match Play was limited to ten 2-man teams (5 teams from each club) in a winner take-all competition. The balance of the field played in the Team Play, 4-man team using 2 low net scores on each hole.

Before I give the results, a couple of reminders:

Next Wednesday’s (7-21) Tournament

Next week’s tournament will be a Mixed Play format, 2-man teams in A/B/C/D flights. Denny Wiseman will be back next week and provide more details on the Mixed Play format (low net – Par 5’s, scramble – Par 3’s, and alternate shot – Par 4’s) with 100% hdcp for best ball format and 20% hdcp for scramble & alternate shot formats. Sign up in the Green SMGA binder in the Pro Shop.

Next Interclub Tournament

The next Interclub Tournament will be on Wednesday, July 28, at home (here). The tournament will have an 8:30 am shotgun start time. The tournament format will be same as today – Match Play (limited to 10 players as 2-man teams from each club), and Team Play (4-man team, ABCD pairings, 2 low net balls on each hole). The cost will be $35 and includes tournament fee, cart rental, donuts, and lunch (chicken fried steak, etc.). The deadline for the Tournament sign up is Monday, July 26, at noon. However, I will be putting together the Match Play teams on Sunday based on sign ups as of noon on Sunday. Let’s support our Interclub efforts. Remember participation in the Interclub Tournaments earns you points toward playing in the Tin Cup Tournament at the end of the year. There are only 4 interclub tournaments left to earn points toward the Tin Cup.

Today’s Tournament Results (Sorry, but I did not get the pay out amounts)

Match Play Results:

The Match Play competition was won by Frisco Lakes by a 3-2 margin. SBR SMGA won two matches – 5&3 and 1up. Three matches were won by Frisco Lakes – 5&3, 4&3 and 1 up. We were just one match short of winning the Match Play competition and that match was lost on the final hole by the final putt – Oh! So close. Match Play is always a lot of fun and sometimes very intense. Both clubs should be congratulated – well done!

The winning Frisco Lakes teams/players were:

Jim Monticel & George Pryor

Terry Beaty & Ward Livingston

Melton Field & Derrel Baker

Jim Greene & Ed Dunn

Dennis McDowell & Bob Wooley
