A good day at King & Bear..... but it was a little hot and muggy.... and the greens were a little bumpy due to transition problems. That is to be expected this time of year. We had 120 players for the match.
AND THE WINNERS
WERE:
The home team, World Golf Village took first place with a score of 284.
Not to take anything away from these guy just because they were playing at home. I played with Jock, and he just played extremely well. It had nothing to do with local knowledge. WG was led by Jock Ochiltree with 48 points, Hank Brown with 47 points, Dave Sowersby with 45 points and Jack Tarr with 40 points. These guys were due to win one! They have lots of talent.
Osprey Cove took second place with a score of 274.
OCwas led by Jeff Ewell with 48 points and with another 40 points from both Don Conradi and Frank Quinby.
Third place was taken by
St Johns with a score of 271. They were led by 41 points from both Mike Millspaugh and Jerry Menne. Also, Mike McCormick kicked in with a nice 40 point performance.
Sawgrass, with a score of 270 was fourth. SG was led by 45 points from Glenn Dobrick and another 43 points from
Tom Kraft. Sawgrass appears to be serious contenders for the Cup this year as they have finished in the money in every 2009 match!
Don't look back but that tough team from Jacksonville G&CC is creeping up in the standings. We'll all have to play well to beat them, that is for sure.

Speaking of closest to
the pin, we are just about out of prizes. A few clubs have been very generous with prizes. HELP! We do not have enough prizes for next month!!!
BESTS:
Lowest gross score: 71 John Vogelpohl (PV)
Highest point total: 48 Jeff Ewell (OC) and Jock Ochiltree (WG)
You guys did a very good job with the cards this month. The best I have seen. I have no complaints.
We need to remember to NEVER stroke control a score. If a player holes out, give him what he took, even if it is ridiculously high. If a player does not hole out, give him a zero (0)! Our computers do all the stroke controlling. If you do stroke control a score, a player may get points where he doesn't deserve any.

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