It was a
great day at
San Jose and lots of good scores were made. The course
was in wonderful shape with fast greens which rolled true. The
food was great and the scorecards and scoreboards were right
on.
We only
had one change to the rosters after they were submitted for
this match. That is EXCELLENT! Everyone showed
up on time and everyone turned in a scorecard. A
perfect day.
Thanks for all
the help at San Jose.
Those who helped were Roy Gulick (MP), Larry Von
Dolteren (SN), Jack
Garrity (EH), Evans Sumner (SN), Doug Alred (SN) and Don
Mathis (SN).
WINNERS:
1. Magnolia
Point,
took first
place with a score of
280
points. MP
was led by 45
points from Conrad
Beaver (Conrad makes a
habit of doing this
every so often) and 42
points from Gary
Hoagland.
MP brought in a new
player this month; Bob
Barclay is his name.
Bob managed to win two
of the four proximity
prizes on his way to
shooting a neat little
71.
2. St
Johns was second with
277points. SJwas
led by Gene
Pottenger's 45 point
performance.
Support came from Don
Rader with 41 points.
3. Third
place was taken by
World Golf Village,
with 276
points.
WG was led by 51 points
from Steve McBride.
51 points is only 3 shy
of the record.
Nice round Steve.
Jim Hutchison kicked in
44 points to help the WG
team take 3rd place.
4. The
host team from San Jose
was 4th by winning the
tie-breaker over Hidden
Hills.
SN scored 274 points.
They were led by Doug
Dickey who had 46
points. Also, Doug
Alred had 44 points.
The top teams in the
2008 standings had a
poor showing this month
allowing several of the
teams in the middle of
the pack to tighten
things up a bit.
There are only 4 matches
left in the 2008 season.
However, the in last
match all points are
doubled so that is like
5 more matches to go.
It is time for everyone
to make their move if
they have one!
The
scorecards were very good
this month. There were
only a few cards where
legibility was an issue.
SCORING:
We
made NO errors at the
scoring table this month!
These guys deserve a great deal
of credit for what they do and
how well they do it.
These guys
are GOOD!

General Remarks
Disappointing results. Not
much change from one year
ago. The Handicap System
relies on every player’s
integrity in posting all his
scores with the correct
supporting data. 43% failed
to post their score. For
those who did post, their
collective data entry was
generally poor. Only about
half of the posted entries
were correct as to score,
date, course rating, and
slope.
Action
Team Reps should encourage
their players to post
complete and accurate
Tournament Scores.
BRADY CUP PLANNING
In the past it has been our
practice to solicit donated
door prizes for the awards
ceremony after the season
ending Brady Cup match.
The reason for the prizes
was to hold a decent sized
crowd to see the winners
receive the Brady Cup.
Since the prizes were
donated, we limited winners
to players in the field that
day. We also
stipulated that in order to
win a door prize you must be
present for the drawing.
This year, things are
different. For each
match that you play in, you
are contributing one dollar
to the general fund which
will be used to buy door
prizes for this years match.
It would hardly be fair to
limit the winners to those
playing that day.
So this year, for each
dollar that you contributed
to the fund, you will have
one ticket in the drawing.
i.e. If you played 5 times
you get 5 chances to
win..... 10 times and
you get 10 chances.
You must still be present to
win the prize. We will
invite all non-participants
that day to come by after
the match and after lunch to
buy a beer (if we have
enough money, maybe we can
spring for a keg or two),
watch the awards, and have a
chance at winning a nice
prize.
Initial plans for prizes
are: (subject to change)
1) $700 gift certificate for
Amelia Island Plantation
2) $100 gift certificate to Ruth's Chris
Steakhouse
3) $100 gift certificate to the Wine Cellar
4) $100 gift certificate to Sterlings of Avondale
5) Dozen Pro V1 (TPC Logo)
6) Dozen Pro V1 (TPC Logo)
7)
Dozen Pro V1 (TPC Logo)
By the way, we will still
accept donated prizes but we
won't twist your arm quite
as much this year.

published in this report. Just
email your article to me. You
must sign it.
I am sure that you all see
or hear things at our matches
that would be of interest to us
all. Funny stories about things
that happen on the course. They
don't have to be the absolute
truth! Brag about a great hole
you played or a great shot you
hit. Here again, you may
stretch the truth. Write them
up and send them to me. It
would make this a much more
interesting publication.
Please
help out. Surely someone out there
has an opinion or suggestion for the
Interclub.
