Hobbits Glens Senior Golf Association
HGSGA Update - October 13, 2024
We had a perfect Halloween start this morning with a mist over the course at the start. It lifted quickly and turned into a fabulous weather day, especially for 10/31. Forty-three members selected their best 4 clubs and took on Hobbit’s. In the end it was Patrick Orwig leading our Stableford with 42 points, with Don Van Deusen close behind with 40 points. We paid off down to 34 points as shown below.
This was our last official event of the year. I want to thank all of you for making this a terrific season. I had a great time finishing my first season as your President. My special thanks to a great volunteer leadership group, without whom we would not have our HGSGA. They include Ian Sumner-Immediate Past President, Mark Cardwell-Vice President, Rich Rocca-Treasurer, Neil Bucklew- Associate Treasurer Denny Walsh-Secretary, Lew Shipp-Golf Genius Administrator Extraordinaire, Mike Caporaletti-MISGA Representative, Calendar Coordinator, and Home MISGA Leader, Mac Ramsey-Webmaster, and Reg Hahne and Dave Hohman-Columbia Cup Leaders. I apologize if I unintentionally left anyone off my listing. Send me a note so I may make amends. As you can see it truly takes a village.
Mike Caporaletti has graciously put together a HGSGA sign up (12 spots) for the offseason, as Hobbit’s changes to a shotgun. An email notification has been sent out for November with a link to SignUpGenius. Check your email or the site if you are interested.
Stay tuned as we will send out information on signup for HGSGA 2025 season later in the year.
Gift card winners for our 4-club Stableford are shown below. As one of my favorite cartoon characters once said, “That’s all Folks” (for now).

HGSGA Update - October 24, 2024
A fun day with our 4-Man ABCD and annual banquet. We avoided a frost delay though many of us could not avoid a 3-putt here and there on the fast, but very nice, greens. The group of Don Van Deusen, Jim Bona, Mac Ramsey and F.T. Case headed the leaderboard at -12, with the 4-some of Gerry Logue, Ian Sumner, Mark Shevland and Charles Fitzhugh in second at -10.
We were all winners after the round with our annual banquet at the Turn House. A great way to celebrate our season and our seasonal winners in the Match Play and the Championship Series. To recap, in match play, Kwangsoo Han took the title in a finals match versus Wayne Moore, with Andy Finkel over Ian Sumner in a match of our other bracket winners. In the Championship Series, it was Doug Wilson taking the Gross title, with Brooke Greer in 2nd and Bruce Winstead in 3rd. On the Net side it was Randy Maddox in 1st followed by Ed Cava in 2nd and Bill Stetka in 3rd.
Of course, a highlight of the banquet was our very own, very talented, Mason Sebastian, who generously provided wonderful songs and repartee. If you stuck around toward the end you witnessed a number of our crew holding phones high, lights on, in a wave of appreciation. Really terrific!!
October 31 is our final event of the season, our famous/infamous 4-club. Yes, the 4 club DOES include a putter if you choose it. Always fun if not a bit frustrating. We may even have some Halloween treats available.
Now for the gift card awards from the ABCD, listed below:
Don Van Deusen, Jim Bona, Mac Ramsey and F.T. Case- $25 each
Gerry Logue, Ian Sumner, Mark Shevland and Charles Fitzhugh-$20 each

Two-Person Team Stableford with Guest Option
Although it was a frosty start and the winds were present throughout, the sun did warm things up a bit during the round as we had our rescheduled Guest Day as part of our Team Stableford. The duo of Alex Pagnotta and Don VanDeusen topped the leaderboard with 80 points, followed by the team of Brooke Greer and Jeff Neale with 77 points. Mark Cardwell captured the closest to the pin competition on #5 at 3 feet and change, and Brooke Greer took closest on #11 at about 1’6” if I recall correctly (I did not remember to note the exact distances so my bad). Gift card awards were handed out at the fire pit for those that stayed around. For those that did not, I will have them for you on the 24th.
Speaking of October 24th, we have our 4 person ABCD on that date, so hit the signup genius if you have not already done so. And Halloween brings our season to a close with the challenging 4-club tourney.
Finally, please remember our seasonal banquet, scheduled for October 24 at the Turn House, following our round that day. This is a separate signup on signup genius. It will be the usual great way to celebrate our golf season (although we have another event scheduled for October 31). Trophies and season-long event awards will be handed out at that time. Signup for the banquet will close out at noon on Sunday, 10/20, as we need to provide a firm head count to the Turn House.

Championship Series #6
Today was the final round in our Championship Series. With the wind blowing, fast greens and some tough rough areas, it made for a good setting for our final test in the Series.

We will collect the $10 outside as we usually do.

Match Play Finals
Congratulations to Kwangsoo Han. He is the winner of the 2024 HGSGA Match Play Championship.
Kwangsoo won 1Up as he held off Wayne Moore in today's championship match.
Wayne jumped off to an early 3-hole lead as he won each of the first three holes. Kwangsoo began chipping away at Wayne's lead and took a commanding 2-hole lead with only two holes to go. Wayne then won the 17th hole to force it the 18hole where they tied and Kwangsoo finished as the 1Up winner.
In the 3rd place playoff match Andy Finkel outlasted Ian Sumner to win 3&2.
The final standing for this year's Match Play Championships was:
First Place - Kwangsoo Han
Second Place - Wayner Moore
Third Place - Andy Finkel
Fourth Place - Ian Sumner
Congratulations to all four players on winning their brackets and making it to the playoffs.

2-Man Scramble - Finally a day without rain, and even some sun for our 2-man scramble. The team of F. T. Case and Ric Vranek led the way at -7, 65. One stroke behind was the duo of Mike Caporaletti and Brooke Greer at -6, 66. A total of 6 teams broke par. Great scores on a day where the course was playing long and remained cart path only.
Next week (10/10) is our Championship Series round (#6). Remember that even if you may not be in the running, we still have our usual one-day event for that round.
Also, we are heading toward our season-end banquet on October 24. It will be held at the Turn House and follow our scheduled 4man ABCD. Please make sure to sign up.

HGSGA Update - September 12, 2024
Florida Scramble-Calling our event today a scramble was right on the mark as we had several last minute changes and confusion. I added to it as I differentiated on the # of required drives between a 4-some and a 3-some, but not on the need for a rotation through the hole of a 4th hitter for the 3-somes. I apologize for that as some groups knew this to be the case and others did not. Having said that we had one (1) 4-some finishing at -16, and one (1) 3-some at that same score. We also had a 3-some that did not use a rotation, so they were only hitting 3 shots each time, but still finished at -15. I made a Presidential decision to move them up to -16, creating a 3-way tie for first. I hope you will agree that this is a fair outcome. We also paid a 4th place to one of the remaining groups at -15, determined by the Golf Genius tiebreaker.
Gift Card Winners today (Pot-$235)
Don Van Deusen, Rich Turner, Richard Fields, Neil Bucklew-$19 each
Doug Wilson, Michael Dickens, Sr., Bruce Johnson-$19 each
