MCPLA Spring Championship at Greenfield Park Golf Course - Results

Greenfield Park proved to be a good test under ideal conditions this past Sunday. The course was in great shape!! My HUGE thanks to James Grogan and his staff. They made everything from the setup to the finish run smoothly. Big props to the Course Superintendent for getting the greens in good shape after aerating them several weeks ago. Thank you to Glen Jaeger for being the greatest starter. He runs a good tee and does a great job of keeping us on time. Thanks also to Jay Anosov for coming out and running the scoreboard with the help from Glen Barkow and others. Also a big thanks to the injured Rich Saks for coming out in his walking boot to help keep pace. Without help like this, my job would be much tougher.

It appears that we are still learning the software program as the scores did not post even though the program said it did! Please post your score as a C score from the correct tees.

Congrats to the winners listed below. I will be mailing out gift cards asap.

I was very pleased to see new faces in this tournament. I hope everyone had a good time and will consider playing in the next 2 events this year.

MCPLA Team Match at Grant Park Golf Course - Results

 Gentlemen –

 

There was an error in the way points were calculated by the computer last week at Greenfield.  The long and short of it is we finished second in the event instead of first.  A few of us lost a point or 2 and a couple of us gained.  Greenfield won the event by 3 points over us with Grant third.  The updated files are listed below.

 

Thanks,

 

Jack

 Gentlemen –

 The Currie MCPLA Team began the 2023 season in fine fashion, winning the event at Grant in a close one over Greenfield.  We took 127 points to beat Greenfield by just 3.  Oakwood and Grant tied for third place with 115.  The golf course was in excellent shape, and the pins were in some devilish spots, keeping scores on the high side. 

 

Our high point men were Chuck Garbers and yours truly with 17, and Doug Schaefer, playing in his first ever Team Match, with 15.  Mark Cuthbert was our medalist with 81, Bob Cristan shot 83, and Gerry McGrath and Steve Jaeger 84. 

 

We also picked up 2 individual awards, Pete Tarantino winning a skin with a birdie on the second hole, and Steve Jaeger taking closest to the pin on number 5.

 

Remember to post your score, as that is not done for you.

 

Thanks to all of you who came out and played today, and congratulations on a nice start to the Team Match season,

 

Jack
