2012 updates

The Officers Meeting has happened and here are the updates for the coming season:

First, we are going to add some new prizes for the end of the year (in the form of certificates).  The following categories will be voted on near the end of the year, and the winners will, well... win!

1)  High score on Hole #15 Award.  Obviously this will not be voted on, but we can track it easily.  Last years winner would've been Mike Sr. with an 11 if I am not mistaken.

2) Tear Drop Award.  This will be voted on, and will be for the biggest cry baby of the season.  Perhaps some wine and cheese is in order...

3) Moneyball Award.  This will be an award for the person who wins the most prize money.  I think that this person should probably be buyin' at the end of season banquet.

4) The Flying Club Award.  Pat?  Where's Pat?  Ya already got it in the bag buddy!  Ok, so everybody needs to keep a lookout for any thrown clubs.  This includes the throwing of an entire bag of clubs...

5)  AARP Award.  This is for the league's oldest player.  Obviously this will not change from year to year unless we have a lot of heart attacks going on, but this person should be honored.


For the mid season event, we are going to put a little spin on the game:  It will be a 4 man scrambles, but Holes 1, 4, and 7 will be played from the middle tees, Holes 2, 5, and 8 will be played from the back tees, and Holes 3, 6, and 9 will be played from the front tees.  Substitute the proper hole numbers if we are on the back.

The last night will be Stableford play, as usual, while the Championship Match is being played.

Our end of season event and banquet will be Sept. 22nd - this date is not firm yet.

League apps will be posted on this site within the next week or so, so start watching here a little more frequently as we get things kicked off.  As always, if you know of anyone that is wanting to be on a league, let me know asap!  I believe Russ is once again looking for a partner, so we need to pick up a new player for him.

More soon.

Annual 2012 Officers Meeting

Dear Officers:

GREAT NEWS! The 2012 golf season is about to begin!  Of course, we begin the season with our annual officers meeting. 

For those of you that feel the need, there will be an UNOFFICIAL winter meeting at Hooters on Monroe St., at 5:00pm on Saturday, February 11, 2012.  I will, unfortunately, be unable to attend.

Therefore, we will have an OFFICIAL winter meeting which will be held at 1:00pm on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at Frickers on Monroe St. in Sylvania.  This is where all of the real decisions will be made.

We will go over the budget, and since we will review the entire rules set, I ask you to review last year’s rules for possible changes. You may bring up any rules or format changes either for the league or the special 4 man team nights, even if only for debate purposes.

A copy of last year’s rules can be found on our website.

Last year we had 16 members in the league. I have informed Giant Oaks that we currently plan to have 16-24 players. I can accommodate up to 36 players.  If we have an odd number, I will bring back the proxy team of Thing 1 and 2.  If you know anyone that would like to join the league, please give them my phone number and have them contact me right away!

Tee Times will be handled the same way as last year with 4-somes showing up early being aloud to play ahead in the order.

The League website is still active at:  http://mngolf.blogspot.com - There is no cost for this site, other than my time to maintain it.  If anyone has any suggestions on website improvements, I will entertain those suggestions at the meeting.

See you there!

And the winners are...

Here are some end of season items:

Most Improved Player goes to Ed Doria - he improved by 2.00 strokes since the first half of the season.

Low Average goes to John Meyer with a 38.43 average.

The 2011 Pat Upton Runners Up are:  John Meyer and Tom Tinta.

The 2011 Pat Upton Season Champs are:  Nick Koelsch and Rob Eisenmann.

Congrats to all, and thanks to everyone for another great season!!! A reminder that there is breakfast before the outing tomorrow (see link below), and the traditional banquet will follow afterwards.

Breakfast before Saturdays round...

Mike Jr. has selected the River Diner as the place to meet on Saturday morning!  We all need to get there at 7:00am so we have time to make it to the course.

Here is the link to their website, complete with map -
