(3/25) Chris Jeppesen and Darrin Fossum were the overall winners of the 6-6-6 tournament. Jeppesen and Fossum won a score card playoff with Fred Wedeberg/Ken Wooten and Chun Jackson/Jay Lee teams.
Chris Baker and Chad Bundy took the net honors.
Slight change to our formats:
After much contemplation, our crack tournament staff has decided to throw a little curve ball (go Mariners) into this years schedule.
We will be having a Tournament of Champions (T.O.C.) instead of a skins final. Every overall winner, gross and net qualifies for this event.
The T.O.C. will be held Sept. 18th.
The current qualifiers through the 6-6-6 are:
Chris Jeppesen
Darrin Fossum
Keith Putz
Rod Russell
John Stockman
Chad Bundy
Chris Baker
There will be an updated list for the qualifiers under the Money List button.
Potpourri:
Kudo's to the greens crew for finally trimming the lower branches on a bunch of trees at the Muni. This small change should speed up play.We noticed a large gap between groups finishing the tournament Saturday. 2 or 3 groups added 20 minutes each to pace of the round, that means the first group finished in 4 hrs, 3 groups later, it was a 5 hr round. KEEP UP THE PACE OF PLAY!!
April 4th we have a quarterly meeting set for 7:00 PM at the clubhouse. Putting contest, Spaghetti feed and gripes, can't think of a better way to spend a Thursday evening.
We all know if you hit a ball O.B. it's stroke and distance and we are all more than willing to apply the penalty. However, when it comes to touching a line of your putt, fixing the hole prior to your stroke or taking a liberal drop from G.U.R, we have a some what cavalier approach to the significance of these breaches. In the long run, what difference does it make if I touch my intended line of my putt, I'm going to miss the damn thing anyway!!!
To quote a phrase we made up for one of our former members " Summer Rules and Some Are Not"
It is tournament time. And time to apply ALL the rules of golf to each and every one of our games.
No pics for either event due to weather, maybe get some action shots in the 6-6-6. Speaking of which the 6-6-6 is March 23rd. Sign up sheet is in the Pro Shop, stop by or give them a call. If you need a partner they can help or go to our Facebook page Bellevue Men's Golf Club and post a partner wanted ad.
Golfingly Yours,
Cap't Muni Rat
