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.
Our final scheduled event is a Halloween 4-club on the 31st. Always fun to see the strategies used in this one.

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.

2-Person Chapman
With a few rumbles of thunder in the distance, but no rain other than a couple wayward drops, we held our 2-person Chapman event today. We were fortunate as I understand there was a big rain event just west of us toward Mt. Airy. On the course Dennis Hayes and Ric Vranek created their own storm leading the pack with at 8 under 64. Coming in second using our tiebreaker was the team of Brooke Greer and Tom Romeo at -7/65. Also at that score and taking 3rd was the team of Don Bryan and Jeff Neale. We paid 8 places.
Next week is Championship Series #5, so practice up as we close in on the final 2 rounds. Remember, even if you don’t think you are in it for the entire series, we still play each round as a separate event.
