OK everything, yup everything, has been running late. Greens have been running SLOW – walk mower was set maybe 0.1 inch higher than our normal .14″ so that slowed everything down. Took 4-5 hours to walk mow ’em so that set back mowing tees and fairways. Seemed to rain every day at 5PM so I couldn’t cut rough (the F10 uses ground driven reels and wet grass (particularly long wet grass) just won’t let those reels roll. So conditions last week were… challenging / different / frustrating. Thank you for either your understanding or your quiet protests – but we’re essentially caught up for our upcoming week 11.

The top 5 continues to churn (see standings below) as 9, count ’em 9, teams are within 100 points of first place with 2 weeks to go in our season’s initial round robin. Once completed I will manually schedule the last 4 week’s match ups to ensure that the top 5 teams face off against one another a second time. The other 9 teams will not be out of the running however. Good results could result in a come from behind team getting into the money…
On the skins / near pin contest… We had 16 players entered but it turns out that Mr. Meadows… the man with more rounds at MGC than anyone else in 2021… Gary Hessberger found his groove and took the only two skins AND the near pin (13′ 1″) over Jamie’s 45′ effort.. good for the whole $80 pot. Looks like Gary’s playing with house money the rest of the year!
get well soon Bill Drew!
