I wish to thank
everyone for getting their results to me as soon as you all completed your
rounds. I am doing much better now and
plan to be okay to play at the Scramble.
The virus ran me for a loop, but I am getting better and sanitizing
everything I touch. As of Thursday,
August 24, I now have enough strength to lift a full beer, just not enough
strength yet to open it.

back nine during the current season.
It finally happened
this week. Team Vaughn was taken down by
Team Anderson and finished the regular season with a 17 win and 1 loss record. Let it be known that this was the 4th
time these 2 teams played each other this year.
Can Team Vaughn start another winning streak in the Play-Offs?

League
Scramble: (August 30th)
Tee
times for Scramble start at 2:39 p.m. every 9 minutes through 4:36 p.m. (14 tee
times). Scramble format will be team
event, procedures will be out to the team captains this coming week. Teams not in the semi-finals tee times are
paid by the league.
Team Flight Scramble Format:
Scramble players will play with their IRS
league team (subs with an average are eligible). There will be 3 flights with first and second
place awarded in each flight. Monetary
awards of $20 per man for first place and $10 per man for second place. If a
team only has three players, they will not be awarded the missing player
winnings.
Flight 1 will have 5 teams, Flight 2 and Flight
3 will have 4 teams. Flights will be
developed on total team averages (adding all players averages on the front 9 together).
Flight 1 will have the top 5 teams based
on total averages. Flight 2 will have
the next 4 teams based on total averages. Flight 3 will have the last 4 teams based on
total averages.
The flights will be determined after all the
team scramble members have been set.
This may happen on the night of the scramble at the course since subs
may change the rankings of the teams. If
a team has less than 4 players, the average of the three remaining players averages
will be used to determine the missing player average. The team with the missing player will rotate
the 4th shot.
The scramble format will be to play the Best Ball
from each location tee through the green.
The Skins, Greenie, and Long Putt contests
will be $20 per team for all teams who wish to participate. No exception to this amount. The Skins, Greenie, and Long Putt winners will
be determined on all the teams participating and not on a flight basis. If no skins are awarded the skin money will
be added to the Greenie and Long Putt pot on a basis of two-thirds two Greenie
and one-third to Long Putt.
