September 4, 2010 Stableford 3 Sixes Tournament Results
Luckily Hurricane Earl moved out quickly, but he left us some breezy conditions to challenge us all day. Bright sunshine and receptive greens from last night's rain helped produce some low scores.  Competition was very tight in some of the flights with quite a few ties.  All Ties were resolved in each of the six-hole groups by looking at the last 3 holes, and if still tied, the last 2 holes were used, and if still tied, the last hole of that six-hole group was used. First and Second Places were awarded in each Six-Hole Group in Each Flight.

August 28, 2010 Scoring Discrepancy Resolved
We apologize for the late posting of the tournament results for this week, while we resolved the scoring problems. Ultimately it was resolved without affecting the final outcome.

Members are strongly reminded that the Hole-By-Hole Scores on your official scorecards MUST BE LEGIBLE!  The hole-by-hole scores are the most important thing on your card. They must be correct and legible.  If you need to change the score for a hole, erase the old score and rewrite it or cross it out completely and write the new score next to it.  It must be obvious to the committee what score was for each hole.  Writing one number over another can create confusion for the committee, and should be avoided at all cost.

August 28, 2010 4 Man Stableford ABCD Results for August 28th

August 7, 2010 Can You Spell Unplayable?
After a thorough search, Jeff DiMarco finds his tee shot decorating one of the spruce trees along the 10th fairway.  We were disappointed that he decided to take an unplayable lie, we really wanted to see the video of his next shot - To see a larger image, visit our Photo Gallery - Photo courtesy of Paul Gruber.

July 31, 2010 Memorial Tournament Results for July 31st
The Final Round of the 2010 Memorial Match Play Tournament was contested today, yielding the following Results.  Congratulations to the Winners!

It was a fitting tribute that on the Final Round of the 2010 Memorial Tournament, a bronze plaque honoring Larry Springer was installed next to the 100 yard marker in the 11th fairway. As one of our club founders, Larry always loved competing in the Memorial Tournament every year, and his wit is sorely missed by all who knew him.  As some of you know, Larry lived on the 11th hole for many years and would take his sons out to the 100 yard marker to let them hit shots into the green. He had many fond memories out there spending time with his family.

To recognize Larry's years of dedication, the Men's Club donated the marker to be placed there in his honor. We'd like to express our thanks to Jimmi Conway and the Grounds Keepers for doing a wonderful job in installing the marker.  Next time you go by, stop for a moment and say Hi before you pitch your next shot onto the green.

The Winners of the Memorial Match Play Tournament were:
A Flight B Flight C Flight
J. Smith F. Doherty M. Lafferty

 

July 31, 2010 Red vs. Blue Tournament Results for July 31st
It was a tremendous day for the Red Vs. Blue Tournament and the Final Round of the Memorial Tournament. Bright sunshine, a light breeze and excellent greens made for a wonderful day to be out on the course.

The Red Team jumped out to an early lead and kept building upon it throughout the day as they crushed the Blue Team 30-1/2 to 23-1/2 points. Four 3-Point Shutouts by the Red Team and a bunch of 2-1/2 point victories contributed to the solid win for the Reds.

We had the opportunity to test out the new tee box on the 10th hole over the water, and the general consensus seems to be that it's a great addition to the course, adding a little thrill as we start the back nine.

Ken Magliano shot an amazing round of 88 for Net 61 with 7 pars and a birdie.  The committee requested a urine sample to check out just how many steroids it takes to shoot a Net 61, but we're waiting on the lab results.  Nice round Ken!

The Winners for the Red-Blue Tournament were:
Red Team - 3 Points Red Team 1/2 to 2-1/2 Points Blue Team - 3 Points

July 24, 2010 3 Sixes Tournament Results for July 24th
Survivors of our 3 Sixes Tournament are to be congratulated for persevering through the heat and humidity, with the heat index topping 102 degrees.  Whoooooo-we, it was hot out there.  Soft greens held the approach shots very nicely, and I suspect that a few of us considered hitting a ball into the water just so we could take a quick dip. It would have been worth the penalty!

Competition was very tight in some of the flights with a few tie-breakers for position.  All Ties were resolved in each of the six-hole groups by looking at the last 3 holes, and if still tied, the last 2 holes, then the last hole.  First and Second Places were awarded in each Six-Hole Group in Each Flight.

Periods of rain off & on and high humidity kept the course wet & muggy for the first round of the Member-Member Tournament. But the soft greens & squishy lies didn't stop the teams from scoring some low rounds resulting in one of the tightest first rounds in recent memory.

The Member-Member Tournament will have Three places for Low Gross, and Eight places for Low Net.  Current standings are shown below. A Team may place in EITHER the GROSS or NET Categories, but not both.  The lowest 3 GROSS scores at the conclusion of next week will be placed in the GROSS category, and all others will compete for Low NET category.

Ties for position next week will be resolved as follows:  Ties for First Place in either the Low Gross or Low Net categories will result in a Sudden Death Playoff starting at the first hole.  All other ties for position will be resolved by looking at the last 18 holes, last 9 holes, last 6 holes, last 3 holes, and finally the last hole.  If still tied, prize money will be split.

Current GROSS Standings for Member-Member Tournament First Round are:
Position Teams Members Gross Score Net Score
1st G. Rotundo & J. Smith 73 62
2nd J. DiMarco & M. Hanley 74 65

The weather was excellent and so was the golf for the Red Vs. Blue Tournament and the Second Round of the Memorial Tournament.  Sunshine and warm temps made for some excellent golf including a one-over round of 74 for Abel Daponte. Nice Round!!!

We are happy to welcome Bob Healey back into the fold after his quick recovery. We're glad he finally decided to trade in his Afternoon Soaps and Remote Control for a round with the guys. A solid round of 85 for Net 74 greeted him for his homecoming, scoring him 40 Founders Cup points on his first day back. Way to go Bob!.

June 12, 2010 Atlantic City Trip on 6/6-6/7 Is A Great Success !!!
Our Annual Golf & Gamble Outing to Atlantic City turned out to be a great success once again.  The greens were fast, just like the action at the craps table. We had a good turnout this year with 9 foursomes.

Atlantic City Country Club, built 110 years ago, was in good shape, with a healthy amount of lateral water and marsh areas that came into play, and a couple of blind shots into the greens.  Greens had aeration holes, but they were flat and fast for the most part.  Hard, tight fairways gave us a lot of roll, but challenged us on our pitch shots.

Blue Heron Pines was in great condition with terrific fairways, perfect approaches and smooth, well-kept greens.  Some unique hole designs kept us on our toes with well placed bunkers, enough water to keep it interesting, and who can forget the Sahara Desert in the middle of the 14th fairway. That was certainly memorable. (I know some of us would rather forget it).

On behalf of Joe and Dan, we'd like to say Thank You to all the guys who participated this year, and we look forward to seeing all of you back for next year's event.

June 5, 2010 Stableford Tournament Final Round Results for June 5th
Hot & Muggy conditions made us sweat out more than a few putts today. A Tie for Seventh Place will split the prize money for seventh and eight place.  Congratulations to the top nine positions who placed in this year's tournament.

Team Gruber-Magliano scored 98 total points for First Place in the Stableford Tournament. They hung on to win when their 11 point lead from last week proved insurmountable for the rest of the field. The Addiss-Towle team gave them a run for their money, scoring the largest point total of the day with 57 to launch them from 9th into 2nd Place with 93 points.

Also notable were Two Natural Eagles By Charlie Pierro and Abel Daponte during the final round. Charlie scored his on the 8th hole, and Abel echoed the feat on the 12th hole.  Nice!

Congratulations to Paul and Ken for winning the Stableford Tournament.  As this year's winner, their names will be added to the plaque of Stableford Winners in the clubhouse.

May 30, 2010 Directions & Tee Times for Atlantic City Trip
We have posted Directions for the Atlantic City Trip here

Players who are not members of the Pine Hills Men's Club must bring their current GHIN card with them, or provide us with your GHIN number prior to Saturday June 5th, so that we may look up your handicaps. Players without a current handicap cannot participate in the Low Net Tournament, but may participate in all other tournaments.

The weather was beautiful for the first round of the Stableford Tournament, and the boys were out there Hamming & Egging like crazy with 5 teams surpassing last year's best of 39 points
.

The Gruber-Magliano team thrashed the competition with 56 points thanks to an all-time personal best score of 72 (Net 62) by Paul and a Net Eagle & some birdies contributed by Ken.

Another excellent day for golf.  A slight breeze from time to time would add a bit of distance every now and then, but it was a terrific day

Congratulations to the Winners of the First Round of the Memorial Tournament.  The Four Winners in Each Flight will continue the
match-play elimination on June 26th. Handicaps in effect at that time will determine any strokes given in the next round.

Bill Fosdick gets honorable mention for the biggest comeback of the day in his match.  Bill struggled on the front and was down 5 holes at the turn, but rallied with a terrific 37 on the back nine. He took six of the last nine holes (and halved the rest) to edge out his opponent by one hole, winning the match on the 18th hole.  Incredible comeback Bill. Well Done!

May 8, 2010 3 Sixes Tournament Results for May 8th
The weathermen blew it again calling for thunderstorms that never materialized. While overcast in the morning, the skies cleared up in the afternoon and let the sun shine down on us for a great day of golf with some low scores.

Competition was very tight in some of the flights with quite a few ties for position.  Any ties were resolved by looking at the last 3 holes in each group, and if still tied, the last 2 holes (then last hole) of that six-hole group were used. First and Second Places were awarded in each Six-Hole Group in Each Flight.

3 Sixes Tournament Results were:
Position A Flight B Flight C Flight
1st Six Holes T. Grimm - Net 21

April 10, 2010 Executive Committee Announces The Founders Cup
As our answer to The Fed-Ex Cup, the Executive Committee is proud to announce a new season-long tournament called The Founders Cup, which will begin next week on April 17th, and will run through October 9th, 2010.

The Founders Cup is dedicated to remembering the men who founded The Pine Hills Men's Club back in 1988, and is designed to be a season-long tournament where points are awarded each week for consistently good play relative to your own handicap.

  • Prizes will be $400, $300, $200, and $100 for the Top Four Places
  • All members are entered automatically with no registration fee required.
  • Points will be awarded each and every week in 3 flights in Stroke Play (Low Net) Format (regardless of the format we are playing that week.)
  • The tournament will run from April 17th thru October 9th.
  • Points are awarded for top 5 places in each flight (100, 60, 40, 30, 20)
  • All non-winning participants each week will receive 10 points
  • As in all other tournaments, players who are forced to take an X on a hole are disqualified for that week, and will be awarded only 10 points for participation.
  • Ties for top 5 positions are decided in the normal fashion by best back 9 holes, then last 6, last 3, last 1 hole.  If still tied, points will be split.
  • Weekly points are added up after play on October 9th, and the top four points leaders will play off on October 16th, 2010. (Rain Date is Oct 23rd, 2010)
  • In the unlikely event of a tie for the final four positions, the higher position will be awarded to the better points from October 9th.  If still tied, we will look back to previous weeks (Oct 2nd, etc) until the tie is resolved.
  • Accumulated points are then discarded, and the final four players will playoff head-to-head in Stroke Play (Low Net) for the four prizes.
  • In the event of a tie for positions in the Final Four Playoff, Sudden Death Elimination will commence immediately on the 1st hole, with the better net score receiving the higher position. Sudden Death will continue until all ties for positions have been resolved.
  • Players in the Final Four Playoff are ineligible to win in the normal tournament being played on the day of the playoff.
April 10, 2010 Medal Play Tournament Results for April 10th
The weather seemed to befuddle almost everybody today with only ten of us shooting less than Net 80 (Ouch!), and only one player shooting better than net par.

Kudos to Paul Pinto for being the only one to shoot under par with a Net 67.

Medal Play Results were:
Position A Flight B Flight C Flight
1st G. Rotundo - Net 74 P. Pinto - Net 67 R. Miller - Net 73

April 3, 2010 Two Man Best Ball Tournament Results for April 3rd
Mother Nature graced us with a nice day for early season golf with sunny skies and a light breeze. Engo & Towle finished with a blistering 62 Net to take the CD Flight, while Aiello & Grimm seized the AB Flight by 4 strokes with an excellent Net 64. A Tie for Second Place in the AB Flight was decided by the usual means with Sheppard & Graziano posting the better back nine (32) over Gruber & Fontana (34).

The course continues to be in great shape but we noticed some changes are coming our way soon.  Those tell-tale white lines appeared on the fairways this week indicating where the infamous Pine Hills Rough will begin to haunt us. We also noticed Jimmy & Frank slaving away on the 12th Hole measuring up for a new fairway bunker down the left side.

The Two Man Best Ball Results were:
Position A-B Flight C-D Flight
1st V. Aiello & T. Grimm - 64 Net D. Engo & R. Towle - 62 Net

March 27, 2010 Stableford Tournament Results for March 27th
Cold temps throughout the day wreaked havoc with our scores for the Stableford Tournament, Singles in Flights. The greens continue to be fast & flat causing some extra putts on the 5th hole due to a tough pin placement on the slope. The competition produced a tie for first and third in the C Flight with Dom Aiello edging out Rich Miller for third place.  As always, in non-major tournaments, ties were resolved by looking at the best back nine holes.

The Stableford Results were:
Position A Flight B Flight C Flight
1st L. Graziano - 9+18=27 pts F. Nealon - 10+6=16 pts M. Bromfield - 9+8=17 pts

Our hearts go out to his family and friends as we remember Larry and mourn his passing.  We are all shocked and dismayed at the loss of our dear friend and competitor.
