Aside from being a difficult golf course, this Kaneff/Lionhead/Legend golf course was not played often enough by most of the members and surprisingly, even the location of drop areas were confusingly unknown to the players if there were any. So the best worse score had to win, correct? No excuses? Counting on guts, preparation, and ability, this course in a kind of macho talk would separate the boys from the men. Just jesting. In reality, this course could be had if this course was played on a regular basis. For sure some members with outstanding groundwork and course management would consider this course as easy, performance wise. Nothing impossible if you wanted it badly.

As suggested by one member – Bingoy P. – the next time SGC includes this course in our sched, foursomes and threesomes should be put in the same group with relation to tee boxes of choice. Makes sense to speed up the game as the location of tee boxes involved are peculiarly & widely alienated. SGC with lots of rational ideas will consider this set up to all courses that we play, we hope. Anything to speed up the game.

Sunday’s banter: As mentioned above, the strain to play this golf course made players sighing heavily after the round. Forty-eight percent of the players did not break the gross mark score of 100; noticeably high handicappers. What would this tell you? Yes, the long hitters were mostly the ones who broke 100; with only one player breaking 80 gross score. After everything was said & done only one player stood out to deservingly award the day’s prize by scoring the only net score of 67 – a number crunch. Mike Montilla, may I remind you as SGC’s 2007 POY and with his mojo going, garnered the lowest net of the day credibly. It was a long time coming, right Mike? There was golf god after all. Congrats for a job well done.

Nassau corners: Jimmy M. who was the only player to break 80 by carding a gross score of 76 took both the front nine & overall. RayMac playing in his first game got his back nine counted by staging his membership entry on time. This was the second time a member playing for his very first game won a prize.

Sharp shooting contest: Mike C. back from a long vacation got the closest to pin number three; Dave N. shot it the closest on hole number thirteen.

Super Series: The following players got richer this weekend – Jimmy M. (1), Manny M, (2), Eddie I. (3), Jojo D. (4). For curiosity sake, these players were only separated by just a mere stroke between them except for the winner. That how close it was.

Monthly winners: No one else could catch Ed P., erstwhile winner Jimmy M. took second place, & joining the group for third place was Ross B.

 

That was that for a fruitful Sunday. Congratulations to all winners.
