On October 17 we played our monthly tournament at Talega Golf Club in San Clemente. We had 10 teams of 2 players ready to do battle. The format was match play with 2 players to a team. We scored one point for each hole won by a team. The player with the lowest net score won the point for the team. They were competing with the other 2 players in the foursome group. If by now you are totally confused, you should have seen how difficult it was to explain to the players. We had never used this format before and it made for great competition.
In November we will be playing Talega on Nov 7, Tijeras Creek on Nov 14, San Juan Hills on Nov 21 and Arroyo Trabuco on Nov 28.
Here are the winners from the tournament:
GROUP 1 Winner: Team #2 Rick Palmer & Gary Benike
GROUP 2 Winner: Team #3 Morry Dohner & Bill Verbrugge
GROUP 3 Winner: Team #6 Don Duffer & John Chis
GROUP 4 Winner: Team #7 Mac Brown & Larry Wellikson
GROUP 5 Winner: Team #9 Kent Wellbrock & John Torok

The Language of Golf
Phil Beale, a member at Gudge Heath Golf Club, has a 60 foot
breaking putt and makes a bet stating that he has a dollar that
says, ‘I can make this putt.’
Everyone takes him up on the bet. Phil duly misses the putt by
5 feet and says, ‘You all owe me a dollar.’
Of course, his golf friends all think he is crazy until Phil produces
a dollar upon which he wrote, ‘I can make this putt.’
