Week 1 Recap – Week 2 Matchups

We have finally gotten the chance to go out and play the game we tell our spouses we do every Wednesday Night!
Firstly, welcome to the new members of our group. I hope you enjoy it out there with us. 
People did very well with the social distancing, but please keep it in your minds at all times moving forward. Safety first. I’m a safety girl.
Pace of play…only you can prevent slow play. If you like to talk, speak loudly from a distance and do it walking down the fairway like you are trying to avoid Bill Morrill.
Attendance has its own reward. Each Regular Season Week a Member plays golf they will get a point towards the grand total. It’s not much, but it can help when seeding is being done for the playoffs.
Week 1 Roundup:
Ken and Gary welcomed Brandon and Hans and as they went out in the earliest tee time on Lakeside Back. The weather was perfect: Snack shack was open and the beer cart was seen and heard driving the course. Apparently it went to crap soon after as the final score ended up with Ken and Gary getting 9 points and Brandon and Hans getting 31. Hooray new guys!
Bob and Paul Boisvert played Rick and Chris in the second slot. Seemed uneventful as B+P earned 24 with C+R getting 16.
Third group saw Ian and Ron abuse their elders of Phil Miller and Paul Caizzi. The tune went 30-10, probably: intro, verse, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, outro, studio banter.
Fourth up was Tony S. and Bill Morrill who took no time and no pleasure jacking up Keith and his buddy Steve G.30-10.
Fifth in line was Alex W. and Phil S. a couple of Sophomores looking to dupe some Freshmen: Paul Dwayne and Kevin Z. into some prank. It didn’t work. Paul and Kevin 22 Alex and Phil 18.
Sixth in line was yours truly and Kevin Horgan going up against Linda Mara and her current Boo Stan Wojta. Jody Smith couldn’t make it so that’s where Stan comes in. Stan’s first time playing we us was pretty good. He could use to curse more and learn to throw clubs better, but I’m sure he’ll improve those skills. We got the best of them 23-17, although Linda beat me pretty good. So good actually it reminded me I still had chores to do at home.Oh, I did get my first Birdie last night on #11 a chip in from 20yds.
Seventh in line to the throne were Allie and Wayne, admittedly the nicest Team in our League. Merciless, its true, but really nice while they’re watching you bleed out during your round. Mr. Nice Guy thrashed Bruce “Wayne, don’t you remember me” Gurney 17-3. Jay could offer no help as Allie “Kerriganed” him on the way to a 13-7 beating. Allie and Wayne 30, Bruce and Jay politely declined to press charges.
Lastly we come to Jenna Cordero playing alone while her partner Luke was “pursuing other opportunities”. She was up against Craig and new member Chelsea. Someone in our League wants to call her Megan, but I don’t think that will play. It turned out fairly even, Jenna 21 Craig and Megan 19.
Check the excel file for accuracy and errors. It’s rev1 for a reason…

2020 – Week 1

Hellllllloooooooooooo Possums !!!!!

We will be playing on Lakeside Back this week. Check the attached excel file for the “Standings” tab to see whom plays whom and their respective handicaps.

For those who are new to the league your handicap shows as “0”. No worries, just play your usual game and I’ll be able to calculate the handicaps going forward.

If your handicap is >= 14 you must play from the YELLOW tee markers. Women play from the RED Markers.

Ground Rules for the Season as we stand now:

 1- Arrive to the JHGC Parking Lot no more than 15 minutes before your scheduled tee-time.

 2- Please practice the 6-foot rule of social distancing.

 3- If you owe me money please send me a check in the mail: Russell Burdick, 12 Plant Ave, Hudson MA 01749.

4-Tee-times are 10 minutes apart.

5- Slow Play – If you think you don’t play slowly just ask those who played behind you. Keep up the pace of play and keep your position on the course. If the group ahead is getting away from you pick up the pace. If they are 1 hole ahead of you pick up your balls, mark it a double bogey for everyone in the group and get moving.

6- Send me screen shots of the card for your group immediately after your round; neatly and clearly written just the scores. my cell is 774-249-1841.  If you want to score your match yourself do so on a separate card and text that to me if you wish.

7- Since we started so late this year there may be some hiccups, please bear with us and the golf course during these weirdo times. 

It’s best to text me a message or call me compared to an email.

Yours in Golf,

Rusty and Luke, wrestlers of ogres and herders of cats
