Well it is official, summer has arrived!  It was a warm and humid one!  However, I must say that it wasn't too bad.  We had a nice breeze throughout and that helped with the comfort level.  Then toward the last few holes, it seemed the storm to the north brought in some drier air and it was like someone turned on the air conditioner.  Great finish to the night.  

The weather wasn't the only "hot" thing out there.  Matt Burdette had one HOT round.  Burd finished two under par, for a 34!  His first time scratch or better this year.

It was a tough night for scoring.  The league average net was a 39!

Skins:

Two winners on the Red nine this week.  Burd had two skins with bridies, net eagles on #2 and #9.  Greg joined him with a birdie, net eagle on #3.  Greg gets a skin while also having his worst round of the year.  That takes some of the sting away.  Nice work, guys!

Weather-wise, we got lucky again this week.  Bookended with some HOT weather, we got the nicest day of the week.  The clouds parted ways and warmed it up a bit, but still very nice compared to the other days this week.   

Skins:

Two winners on the Blue nine this week.  Roger had a birdie, net eagle, after sinking a 45' slider on #4.  Gary was the only par, net birdie, on #7.  The 2nd half of the season starts this week.  We added Jeff LaMontagne to the skins game.  That increases the payout to $125.  Jeff has joined the Dead Hookers for the remainder of the season.

We landed on the hottest day of the year, thus far.  The humidity showed up too.  However, there was a nice breeze and that kept the heat in check.  Really, it was a pretty good night. Except for our scores.  As a league, we tied our worst average.  We averaged a 39 net.  

Skins:

One skin winner, again this week.  Ruben gets a birdie, net eagle on #5 on the White course and earns your $5!  Ruben's first skin and he leaps into 4th place in the money race.

Position Night was excellent - weather-wise.  Damn near a Top-Ten Night!

We had another amazing round.  Jerry comes in way low.  He shot a 33!  Damn!!!  One away from the league record.  

Skins:

Two skins on the Red nine this week.  Birdie net eagle for both Nick and JT.  Nick had a scary shot from the rough.  He had to carry the entire lake on #2 to a tight pin.  Nailed the approach and the 15' putt!

It seemed warmish during the day, but when we stepped on the first tee it seemed like it cooled down quite a bit.  No need for a jacket, but it was a cool evening. 

Another Weddell did it this time!  Harrison, Matt's son, shot a one under!  He finished his round with 3 birdies!  But Wait!  We also had another notable round.  Mike Pluta, after struggling a little bit, found his game and shot a scratch round!  He had one bogie and one birdie.  Nicely done, guys!

Skins:

One solo skin, again!  It was not Tim this time.  It was his partner, Mike Pluta.  As mentioned above he shot one birdie, net eagle on Red #6.  Ok, now that you both have your wallets full, please let some of us others back in!

Weather was pretty darn good.  It was cool enough that they majority of us wore long pants.  It started off fairly windy, but seemed to calm down as the round went on.  

Matt Weddell did it again.  Matt shot another scratch game!  The dude has found another level this year.  He was the only player in the thirties this week.

Good scores were hard to come by this week.  We had an average net of 40!  That might be a record.

Skins:

One solo skin!  Lucky Tim cashes in on Blue #7 for his 2nd take in a row.  He also won a skin last week. 

Weather was good again.  Great temps, no humidity, but it was windy throughout the round.  At least we were on Mako.  Mako seems to be the best nine for some breaks from the wind.

We had a record broken this week.  Matt Weddell shot a 32!  That is right a 32!  Amazing!  Four birdies and five pars.  He has had 3 scratch or better rounds in six weeks.  No wonder he is now a zero handicap.  

Skins:

Three skins this week!  Tim, Chris and Jerry get 3 birdies, net eagles, on the Red nine.  My birdie was at least a 30' put to get some shoe money!  

Weather was good.  No humidity, nice temperature, but it was a touch windy at first, but seemed to calm down as the evening rolled on.

Skins:

Lots of skin this week!  The Blue nine produced.  Jeremy, Mike, Roger, and Rick all have some great holes to get in on the action.

Rain was in the forecast.  It moved in as the tee time approached.  The rain stopped and we got out after a 15 minute delay.  We were not held to cart paths, it ended up being a great evening.  A touch on the cool side, but not a lick of wind!  

Another notable round for Matt Weddell.  Matt shot a TWO UNDER (34)!  I assume he was throwing some darts into those soft greens!  Jealous!

Team score were interesting this week.  All matches, except one, ended up in a 6-0 result.   

Skins:

Solo skin this week.  Clark takes it all with a birdie, net eagle, on White #9.

The weather this week was interesting...  Looked ominous, but some forecasts showed the storms slipping by to our south.  It slipped by with nothing more than some sprinkles, but the lightning got a little too close and caused a  ~15 minute weather delay. All good!

Skins:

Three skins!  Par for JD on Red #7 and birdies for Nick and Matt T. on holes 5 & 9!  Nice!

Again, we had some great weather except for this damn wind!  I did skip a step on the sheets last week, resulting in Billy, Billy, Billy not being on top going into this week.  Not much of a shake up, but sorry for the oversight. 

Skins:

Two skins!  Birdies for Gary and Jeremy on Blue holes 2 & 8!  Good job!

We made it out of the gate!  Great weather except for this damn wind!  We had one notable round. Matt Weddell starts out firing on all cylinders.  He shot a one under, 35!  Nice way to start.   

Skins:

Four skins on the White nine!  Matt W., JD, Pluta, and Clark.  Well done, boys!
