It was a
great day at
Marsh Landing. 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
very nice day.
Thanks for all the help at Marsh Landing. Those who helped were Roy Gulick (MP), Larry Von Dolteren (SN), John Pujol (QH), John Arnold (ML), Ray Cabano (ML), Terry Mohr (ML) and Dave Lehman (ML).
WINNERS:
Marsh Landing,
the host club,
took first
place with a score of
266
points. ML
was led by 42
points from Gordon Knight and 41
points from Ray Cabano.
Orange Park with a score of 262 was second....... but only after winning a 'best 6' tie-breaker with Deercreek.
OPwas
led by Jerry Meyer's 44 point
performance and another 40 points from Gary Hill. Deercreek was led by 42 points from Jud Schwartz and 40 points from Dan Haskell.
Hidden Hills, long missing from the winner's circle, took 4th place. HH was led by 40 points from each Ron Arledge and Ed Welsh.
This was really a close match. Ten team were within 13 points of the 266 winning score!
There are only 3 matches
left in the 2008 season.
However, the in last
match all points are
doubled so that is like
4 more matches to go.
The
scorecards were very good
this month. There were
only a few cards where
legibility was an issue.
SCORING:
We
made only one error 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!

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 (see below)
2) $100 gift certificate to Ruth's Chris
Steakhouse
3) $100 gift certificate to the Bonefish Grill
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.
My original plan was to buy a $700 certificate at Amelia Island Plantation. It looks like a certificate of that size would buy much more more time and golf in North Carolina.... say at Lake Lure which is about 6-1/2 hours driving time from Jacksonville. Think about which option you would prefer and let your team rep know your opinion. I will be asking the Team Reps to vote on this issue before long.

SUBMIT AN ARTICLE
Articles of interest to MSIS
members are accepted and will be
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.
