Aries Engineering Golf League: My game tracker

My game tracker

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to know more stats about my game and where I needed to concentrate on (shut up you guys). I ended up writing a pretty extensive excel spreadsheet to help track my rounds. Over the last few years it has developed into a handy tool, and I thought I would throw it up here for you to check out. I play on a Monday league as well as our Thursday league, so my game tracker has both courses listed. This year Aries has moved to Giant Oaks, and I have rewritten the spreadsheet to include that course.
I am making the tracker available for you to download, free of charge (because I'm such a nice guy)! However, use it at your own risk - that means if you screw up the formulas, I'm not fixin' it. You can download another copy and start fresh, or re-write the formulas on your own. I have included instructions on the first tab - please make your life easier and read them!!!

Look over on the right under League Files and click on Shadow's Game Tracker. Enjoy!

League History

The Dura Golf League (sponsored by Dura Corp.) was established in 1946, and played at Ottawa Park Golf Course until 1956. In 1957, the league moved from Ottawa Park to Chippewa Country Club, and remained there through 1967.

In 1961, league member and Dura worker Pat Upton passed away. Pat was an excellent amateur athlete and golfer who’s family ancestors have Upton Avenue named for them. In 1962, the league dedicated the current trophy to Pat’s memory. Since 1962, the annual champions names have been engraved on the trophy.

In 1968, the Dura League moved from Chippewa Country Club to the newly opened Whiteford Valley Golf Course. As of 1979, there was no more room on the trophy for the champions names, so the league had an extension attached to the original base of the trophy. In 1992, the league lost the sponsorship from Dura Corp. when the company closed their plant in Toledo. In 1993, Jim Wilcox, a former Dura employee and machinery broker, took over the sponsorship of the newly designated Wilcox Machinery Golf League.

In 2001, Jim went into semi retirement and the league went through another sponsorship change. Systems control entrepreneur Mike Nagy Sr. assumed sponsorship of the newly named M&N Controls Golf League beginning in 2002.

During the 2004 season, the Pat Upton Memorial Trophy was refurbished through the efforts of league officers Russ Bohland, Tom Tinta, and Jim Wilcox.

In 2009, Todd Brieschke and his company, Aries Engineering, took over sponsorship of the league. A year later, (in 2010), the league members voted to move to Giant Oaks Golf Course in Temperance, Michigan, where it remains today.

Many of the league members have been involved for decades, and can recant many stories from far back, making this one of the oldest and most historic leagues in this area.
