As we head to the last week of our league round robin we’ll then enter a three week finale where teams in first through fourth will play each other and our other nine teams will play three matches against random opponents… if you’d like to play one or more teams in particular do let me know and I’ll try to accommodate your request before I set up weeks 14-16 schedule… also: When we each decided to play league we all agreed to the following:
- We play on Wednesdays after work – 4:30 PM is the “standard” starting time and if one wants to start earlier or can’t make it until later we should contact our team mate and our opponents
- We have a list of substitutes who should be called as early as possible if you know that you can’t make your match – at least the day before if at all – inviting an “outsider” to substitute makes determining a handicap difficult (if they played matches here years ago), or impossible (if they have no scores in our league system)
- If a substitute on the list can’t be confirmed then Average Arnie or Average Barney are the ghost substitutes that will “play” in your place – you are still responsible for your greens fees
We had 15 participants in near pin / skins yielding $30 / $45 pots respectively – Substitute Arthur Warren once again demonstrated his clutch accuracy on hole 6 with a tee shot to 12’9″ to grab the $30; two players divvied up the skins pot: Justin Callahan birdied tough hole #3 and substitute (and 2022 Master of the Meadows) Dylan Beaumont birdied the toughest little par 3 in the Catskills (#8) to take his $22.50 share of the pot
