It
was a very enjoyable day at Marsh Creek. The course
was in good shape. Our start was delayed a little by late arrivers. The
food was great and the scorecards and scoreboards were perfect.
The course was set up just as we had asked, but the winds made it play harder than usual. The average score at 91.1 was the highest of the year and the average points at 31.0 was the lowest of the year. Here are all the year's results with the highest and
lowest average gross score and points highlighted:

We only
had two changes to the rosters after they were submitted for
this match. That is great!
Thanks for all the after-match scoring help. Those who helped were Roy Gulick (MP), Larry Von Dolteren (SN), Glenn Dobrick (SG), Odie Skeen (MC), John Richardson (MC), Rick Ault (EH), and Tim Palmer (MC). And it was a great job that they did. No errors!
WINNERS:
Marsh Creek,
the host club,
took first
place with a score of
244
points. MC
was led by 40
points from John Murray and 37 points from Dennis Donahue. Most of the regular players for MC were in Myrtle Beach.
The bunch that played in this match did a great job of 'filling in'. Maybe they can convince the regulars to travel more often!
Osprey Cove with a score of 234 was second place.
OCwas
led by Bill Cutting's 37 point
performance and another 36 points from Joe Ferrantino.
Third place was taken by Marsh Landing (2 months in a row) with a score of 233. They were led by 41 points from Team Rep, John Arnold and 40 points from George Halvorsen.
Jacksonville Golf & CC, with a score of 232 was fourth.
JG
was led by 40 points from Wayne St Clair and 36 from Rick Cottey.
There is only 1 match
left in the 2008 season.
In the last
match all points are
doubled so that is like 2 more matches to go. JG seems to have a lock on the Cup but anything can happen. ML, SN or SG will need to have a great day and JG will have to have a very poor day for the leaders to lose out. Other teams have a mathematical chance of winning the Cup but that is very unlikely.
Can JG hang on and make it two Championship years in a row? Big question. We'll know soon.

BESTS:
Lowest gross score: 77 George Halvorsen (ML)
and John Cresswell (SJ)
Highest point total: 41 John Arnold (ML)
Everyone turned in a scorecard after the match. Most of the scorecards were filled in perfectly and were very legible. Some people did not understand that the player's gross score needs to be put in the blocks where the handicap stroke dots reside and
NOT in the 'Markers Gross' blocks at the bottom of the card.
This error slowed us down some at the scoring table. Other than that the cards were good. Thanks for your help in correcting these issues. Always put the gross score in the block with the handicap dots. This is normally directly left of the player's
name.
SCORING:
We
made no errors at the
scoring table this month!
These computer scorer guys deserve a great deal
of credit for what they do and
how well they do it.
These guys
are GOOD!
