Month: June 2020

Week 6 – July 4th week is a League Week !

Week 5 Highlights are pretty much just the stock reel of the Cris and Rick Show: They combined for Low New, Low Gross and Highest Points from their Match. The only they each missed were Birdies for the Birdie Pool….
Special Note:  We are Playing on Lakeside Front this week. It is not in the proper rotation order because usually this week is skipped. But, since the world conditions happened to us we’re trying to get it all in asap.
Special Note 2: All members/Guests of our League(and every other League on Wednesday night) will pay 1/2 Price for all FOOD ordered in the Bar/Kitchen. Not on drinks…..
Hans and Brandon fell hard back to Earth as they paid for and received only 7 points in their match against, wait for it….Chris Riley and Rick Manda !!!! Hans and Brandon dropped from 1st to 4th which let’s face it is a lot easier to handle mentally. And speaking of mental, Bob and Paul are now sitting pretty at the top of the heap even though they lost a squeaker of a match against Russ and Kevin.
Other notables: Jody sandbagged his way all over Ken Blue Crouch going 16-4. Bruce Gurney was abandoned by his partner and his sub and suffered at the hands of Luke and Jenna, 28-12. Ian returned to shoot like crap only to make Tony feel bad for shooting worse crap, Ian 13, Tony 7. 
Check the website shipleygolf.net and the Standings page.
All the best,
Russ and the Recalcitrants

R3 – 6/30/2020

Week 4 results and week 5 matchups (r2)

Happy Father’s Day to everyone! I hope you had a relaxing weekend holding court at your house and holding down the couch or Lazy Boy chair.
As always there was a lot going on last time: Hans and Brandon have shot to the Leadership position while last weeks’ leaders, Bob and Paul will try to regain that position by crushing Russ and Kevin; I don’t think so…Keith MacNeal got a Birdie last week and by me mentioning it here in the newsletter he is now obligated to join the Birdie Pool ($20). Kevin Horgan put together a great drive, pitch and drain of his putt to grab his 1st Birdie of the season on #6. Ken Crouch, who joins the Birdie Pool every year and then refuses to card a birdie made a tactical error and is now a Proud Member of the Birdie Pool grabbing his 1st one this season.
Paul Dwayne continues with solid play carding a 40 for low gross. Phil Slippery Sharpe posted a net 29, which we can only describe as a blatant sandbagging effort. Hans and Brandon acquired the highest match points of the week at 28.
Check the Standings/Pairings, review your handicaps and work up a vulgar diatribe for the opponent or league official of your choice.
Reminder that the kitchen is open in the clubhouse and food and drinks can be enjoyed on the deck outside.Social distancing is still in effect for the safety of everyone.
It’s predicted to be very hot on Wednesday so load up on cool drinks to keep you properly hydrated.

Week 3 Recap – Week 4 Schedule

Sportsfans,
It was a good night to play golf last week. Just ask Bob and Paul as they laid waste to their competition and grabbed up 30 points. 
I chipped in another one with my eyes closed and continue to lead the field of hopefuls in the Birdie Pool.
Check the standings page and get ready for another round of The Show.
Respectfully submitted,
Russ of Russ and Luke
