Two-Man Best Ball
Well we managed to squeeze in our tournament
around the smattering of rain drops. Despite the
weather we had a good turnout to start the year off.
It’s amazing what effect one of our favorite formats
has on our participation. Because of the good
turnout, we were able to payout for three places for
four flights. Just like last year’s event, when the
weather was great, we had 62 players or 31 teams.
We had a lot of good scores turned in in spite of the
playing conditions. The best score of the day was
turned in by the team of Terry Doan and Jeff Traweek
- a net 60.
All of the placing teams shot net 67 or better. The
Second Flight winner was the team of Wally
Hieronimus and Dan Chancellor with a net 61. The
Third flight winner was the team of Mike Barber and
Don Funicello with a net 64. And the Fourth Flight
winner was the team of Mike Sasko and Keith
Wenger with a net 63.
Congratulations on all the great rounds and for
making this tournament a great success with the
excellent turnout. All of our first place teams earned
$50 scrip for each player.
The winners of the Closest To Pin holes were Rick
Beall on #4 at 2’ 7”, Jeff Traweek on #7 at 2’ 4” and
Dub Wood on #8 (second shot) at 1’ 8”. It’s always
surprising when our winner on #7 has a closer shot
than the winner on #4. Great shot Jeff! Each first
place winner won $35 in Scrip.
I apologize that we have no photos for the
Newsletter, but I was not able to make the tourney as
I was a bit under the weather so to speak. Next
month I’ll try to take some extra pictures.

Modified devil ball
3-man Best Ball
Tournament Format
Our Modified Devil Ball format is kind of a misnomer. It’s
really a four man rotating two best ball. The Devil Ball
cannot be lost and out of play and we won’t be using a
specially colored or marked ball as done in a typical Devil
Ball format. Each player will play his own ball.
Two net scores per hole will count. One player will be
designated on each hole as the “Devil Ball” and will rotate
throughout the round. The “Devil Ball” score will count as
one of the team’s two score total for the hole. The other
will be the best score of the other 3 players. The “Devil
Ball” player must always complete the hole. If one of the
other three players has an exceptionally bad score going
on a hole, it is suggested in the interest of fast play, you
pick up and X out the hole with the score you most likely
would have scored if you finished the hole. The 4 players
will take turns having the "Devil Ball" role.
Please note that the tournament will start at 8:30 a.m.

8:30 Shotgun Start
Two-Man
Alternate Shot
JANUARY 2016
Tournament Format
Our March tournament is a modified 2-man alternate shot
format. Each team member will tee off on each hole. The two
players then determine which tee shot they want to use. If
player A’s tee shot is selected, player B takes the next shot.
Players then take alternate turns hitting until the ball is holed. If
a player’s ball is thought to be hit out of bounds or lost, the
other player hits the provisional ball shot. If the ball is located in
play, the player who hit the provisional ball would take the next
shot with the original ball.
The handicap is determined by taking an average of the two
players’ handicaps. Handicap strokes on each hole will be
denoted by dots an your score card.
It is not necessary to calculate your net score, just write in your
gross score for each hole.
Please note that the tournament will start at 8:30 a.m.
Wednesday Sweeps News:
For those who are not aware, Norm provides a free lunch on the first Wednesday of each month. This past Wednesday we had 35
Players which is a nice showing. However, we would like to get the participation back up like is was a number of years ago when
we used to have a full field. Right now instead of a shot gun start, we scheduling tee time from 7:40 until 9:00.
