Hot Hot Hot - and Gramolini HOTTEST
July 23rd
So Humid It Felt Like Rain: That had to be close to 100% humidity, we were just lucky that the sun didn't come out in force until afternoon. I don't think I've ever seen that many carts out there for the club rounds. Riding was definitely the way to travel.
The President's Cup came to a suitably dramatic end with Tom Gramolini just getting past Fred Appel on 18. A true battle as Tom and Fred both played extremely well - Tom shot 80 (net 68) and Fred shot 81 (net 67). They only halved one hole on the back, so lots of excitement and many lead changes. To get a feeling for the round go to the President's Cup page, where you can look at the scorecard, read some commentary and see some video of the final holes (it's up now).
When you're done celebrating Gramolini's victory, move on to the next tournament and check out the Club Championship draws. Five flights of action. See who's playing whom - mano a mano, no strokes given. For those in the event - if you need help scheduling your matches each draw has instructions on how to get to the members only section of this site. There you'll find email and phone numbers for all members. And even if you're not playing in this tourney, why not download the info for reference?This Week At A Glance

Thank you.
Hammer released the scorecards from three past weeks' play. So now we're able to look at not only who won, but how they did it - and how the rest of us did. Hole-By-Hole scores for the 20 or 30 cards turned in each week are either really boring or very interesting - depending on how good your air conditioning is. If it's too hot to think - no need to check them out. But I enjoyed chillin' & looking through them. To see for yourself, go to the Weeklies page (under Tournaments index) or click the link below.
Eventually I hope we're able to accumulate enough cards and scores to learn something about our play. First up would be a reranking of the holes. The more I struggle to find the right club on #7 or make a par on #5, the more I think the current version is out of whack. Either that or those holes just play to my weaknesses. Plus I bet there's some other interesting stuff in that data like how many 7's it takes to get to 90 or how many of us can come back from a double on the next hole.
Also up on the Weeklies page is a list of winners to date. Not that I would ever question anyone's handicap, but let me know if you start to see the same pattern as me. How many times can he win and still carry a big number?
