I hope everyone who came out to the Vineyards today had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego October weather!  We had 34 golfers today, and some great and not so great golf was played.

 

This was our 17th tournament of the year!  Only two more regular tourneys remain including our League Fed Ex Championship at Native Oaks, followed by our ever popular, low stress, very fun end of season Scramble at Admiral Baker.

 

Reminder to please continue to fund the "First to Eagle" and "First to Hole in One" pots, as they were both depleted this year and you will need to have paid in to the current bucket to claim the prize.  We unfortunately only were able to celebrate Erik Washburn's EAGLE today with a handshake, but I'm sure he enjoyed it nonetheless.  I've attache the current list of folks that have paid in to both pots at the end of this email.

 

Watch for a separate email regarding the ANNUAL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PARTY coming soon, but for now please save the date for the evening of Saturday, December 12th at the Miramar Officer's Club.  Information for tickets, etc. will follow but please plan to invite family, more the merrier!

 

On to the results!!

 

CTP markers were relatively empty today, as our first grouping seemed to record a name on every sheet and a couple held up! 

 

Hole 3, 109 yards... Some say it was a 3 wood.. whatever it was, Mark Bather used it to hit his tee shot within 4' of the hole and it held up all day.  Congrats Mark, $30 to you!

Hole 6 was 127 yards, and AGAIN, Mark Bather held the closest shot from the first group.. another $30 for Mark!

Hole 12 at 115 yards over the water which reached up and grabbed a few Stikers, went to Corey Jackson! Congrats Corey and $30 to you Sir..

Hole 17 124 yards went to Brian Johnson!  I don't know any drama to write about, but at least there were several names on the card.. Congrats Brian, $30 for you!

 

This was a bi-polar round for many of us, with good front or back nines but rarely seeing both on the scorecards...

 

VERY tight race, but ultimately goes to GLENN MENDOZA with a gross 37 net 30.18!  Great job Glenn!  $65 for your front 9 victory

 

Also very close, and CHARLES (not Bingo) SHIPMAN takes the back 9 with a gross 46, net 32.12.  Great job Bingo and $65 to you!

 

Player of the Day, with a spectacular round of GROSS 73!!!  Goes to COREY JACKSON!  Corey shot a net 66.13, and shot 56% lower than his handicap!  Fantastic round Corey and $65 to you!

 

We had some fantastic performances today (and a lot not-so-much)...  we had a total of 6 Strikers shoot Net Under Par.. but the lowest net score goes to MARK BATHER!  A gross 82, net 64.75 gets you a REPEAT VICTORY, another couple weeks with the Spinner Bling, and $130!!  Creeping up the FedEx points list with back to back victories!

The Board has authorized the Weekend Strikers Golf Club Treasury to subsidize our members' rounds at Arrowood by $20 per player.  This should help alleviate the high cost of this course.  Though it is still an expensive round, I think we all realize that Saturday morning golf rounds in San Diego are hard to come by, and getting more expensive every year.  I think we will have a fantastic tournout and I hope you all sign up and have a great time with us up in Oceanside!  Remember, even if we hit 40 signups, please continue to sign up anyway!  We might have drops and though not guaranteed we may be able to secure an extra tee time so you want to keep your place in the queue.
