November 14, 2009 Annual Awards Dinner Dance is A Great Success
Our Annual Awards Dinner Dance was a great success! Members and Guests were treated to the vocal stylings of Vinnie Aiello singing some of our old favorites.  Pete "The Crooner" Torres responded in kind with a few tunes that got the crowd up and dancing as well. We would like to thank everyone who attended for a great evening of fun.

On behalf of Joe, Larry and Dan we'd like to thank all of our members who participated with the Men's Club this year.  We look forward to another great year for 2010!  We encourage members to invite a friend to join us next year!

November 7, 2009 $10 Shootouts Continue Every Saturday
Even though our 2009 season has officially ended, we're not done yet!.  We'd like to encourage members to continue playing with us on Saturdays in our $10 shootouts.  As usual you can sign up with Joe by Wednesday or post your name on the sheet in the clubhouse.

Our Saturday shootouts continue until spring (weather permitting) and are based on low net in flights with 1st and 2nd in each flight.  The number of flights depends on the number of players each week.  First group tees off at 10AM.

We will enjoy off-season rates at the course and you may walk if you prefer.  Members are encouraged to bring Guests and Friends so we can entice them into joining the club next year.  Guests are generally not permitted to enter the Shootout.  This is necessary in order to protect the field.

Results of the shootouts will not be posted on the website.

October 31, 2009 Spooky Results in Our 2 Man Scramble Tournament
The Ghosts & Goblins were out in force for our Halloween Season Ender. Ghastly winds were blowing fiercely and fast greens wreaked havoc all over the course. Ronnie's Ghost even appeared in the rough between the 8th and 2nd holes, as Pete Torres found one of his signature yellow balls with 'Ron" on it that once belonged to Ron Pietramala. How's that for spooky?

In spite of high winds and ghostly encounters, we had a very competitive tournament in the 2 man scramble with six groups within one stroke of the lead. Tiebreakers were required to finally decide 1st & 2nd and 3rd & 4th places.  Kudos go to Pat Aiello & Bill Buhmann for the better back nine score of 32 to snatch the lead from Addiss & Lish.  The tie for 3rd & 4th was even closer with Smith & Balsamo finally edging out Sileo & Sileo on the 18th hole with a par for birdie to take the 3rd spot. Honorable mention (but no money) also goes out to Graziano & Willis and Colon & Morelli for also shooting a Net 66. Congratulations to all the winners!  We'll be gunning for you next year!

October 24, 2009 7 Club Tournament Results for October 24th
Once again, the 7 club tournament turned out to be a lot of fun, and it was great to continue this old Club tradition. We got lucky with the weather again this week as a break in the rain allowed us to get the tournament in without getting rained on except for a couple very light, 2-minute sprinkles on the front nine. On the other hand, the wind was brutal and the greens were fast, which wreaked havoc on some holes and kept all the scores above par.

7 Club Tournament Results were:
Position A Flight B Flight C Flight
1st B. Healey - Net 73 P. Torres - Net 76 D. Addiss - Net 77

October 17, 2009 7 Club Tournament in Flights Announced for October 24th
Since there was no Rain-Out for the Major Tournaments, the OPEN date for next week was to be determined.  The committee has decided to spice things up again this year by continuing an Old Club Tradition called the 7-Club Tournament.

The 7 Club Tournament is played with a MAXIMUM of 7 Clubs in your bag (Choose any 7 clubs you want).  Your Putter Counts As One Club, but you are not required to carry one.  (If you can putt with something else, go for it). All other clubs must be left at home or in your car, a player can only carry a maximum of 7 clubs. Players carrying more than 7 clubs will be disqualified.

In spite of a rumor started many years ago by Ron Pietramala, your ball retriever and umbrella DO NOT count as a club. (Unless you try to use them to hit the ball).

This Tournament will be played in 3 or 4 Flights depending on the number of members playing next week. Players will receive their usual handicaps for this tournament.

October 17, 2009 3 Sixes Stableford Tournament Results for Oct. 17th
Although the forecasts were not looking good a few days ago, a break in the weather allowed us to get this week's round in without getting wet.  Speedy fast greens along with pin positions located in some hilly spots confounded us this week as we watched our putts sail past the hole.

All Ties were resolved in each of the six-hole groups by looking at the last 3 holes in that group. First and Second Places were awarded in each Six-Hole Group in Each Flight.

October 10, 2009 Two Man Best Ball Results for October 10th
Early clouds looked ominous, but they finally broke revealing a bit of sunshine on the back nine. The greens ran fast and furious, and were in very good shape considering that they were aerated only a couple weeks ago.  The winners in each flight offered up blistering back nines to emerge victorious. In the BC flight Doherty & Goncalves shot an amazing 9 under par back nine of 27, and Team Aiello scored an 8 under par 28 to edge out their rivals in the AD flight.

October 3, 2009 Two Man Stableford Tournament Rained Out
Heavy rain Friday night continuing through Early Saturday Morning. The rain stopped by 9:30 but the number of player cancellations caused us to drop the tournament this week.  The 16 players that showed up played in a shootout. The course was in pretty good condition with only a couple of soggy spots and we managed to stay dry all day. Next week we will continue with our scheduled Two Man Best Ball AD-BC Tournament.

The 2 man scramble format is handicapped based on a combination of handicaps, and usually produces some low net scores.  Defending Champs Joe Fontana & Dave Kobel won the event last year with a net 64 due to a stellar back nine score of 29 net (7 under par).

Winners of the 2 Man Scramble will receive Free Dues for the 2010 Season. Additional prizes will be awarded several runner up positions.

August 22, 2009 Low Net Results for August 22nd
While the Cup Finalists were busy slugging it out for the title, the rest of us were competing for Low Net in 3 Flights.  Warm temps and very muggy weather conditions seemed to have taken their toll on us causing much higher than average scores.  Of course it could also have been because the white tees were way back all day (near the end of the world)!

August 15, 2009 "Whipped Cream on Dog-Spit"
Pat "Padraig" Hanratty impressed us all this week with the ultimate shot on the 17th hole.  A Hole In One! According to those playing with Patty, the shot looked perfect all the way to the Blue Pin playing about 170 yards .... Perfect Height, Perfect Placement, Perfect Distance. "It looked right on the money all the way."

Although no one could see it drop in the hole, Pete Torres walked towards the top of the hill and said "Patty, I don't see it on the green. It must have gone in". Patty replied "Nah, it must be in the grass behind the the green".

Even if it wasn't one of Patty's better days, he won't soon forget it. When Patty finally got to the green and discovered that the ball was in the hole, everyone commented that it was the ultimate case of "Whipped Cream on Dog S_it".

It turned out to be an expensive day, but Patty had a big smile on his face as he celebrated on the 19th hole.

Congratulations Patty! .... And thanks for buying the drinks.

July 11, 2009 Member-Member First Round Tournament Results for July 11th
Another great weather day for the Men's Club. Beautiful sunshine with a light breeze created some tight competition.  The greens are starting to firm up and get faster but soft conditions over the past several weeks have left them quite bumpy.

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

Ties for position 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

June 13, 2009 Atlantic City Trip on 6/7-6/8 Is A Great Success !!!
Our Annual Golf & Gamble Outing to Atlantic City turned out to be a great success once again.  The greens were smooth and fast, just like the action at the craps table. We had a good turnout this year with 9 foursomes, surpassing last year.

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, a couple of blind shots into the greens and turtles scurrying to and fro.  Greens had a few aeration holes here and there, 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 absolutely beautiful !  The course was in beautiful 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).

This year we expanded the closest to the pin tournament to include 2 holes on each course.

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 13, 2009 3 Sixes Tournament Results for June 13th
Early sunshine was overcome by clouds for most of the day with a very light sprinkle on the last couple of groups.  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.  If still tied, players split the prize money (as happened in the B Flight, 3rd Six). First and Second Places were awarded in each Six-Hole Group in Each Flight.

The front red pin position on the 3rd hole proved to be very challenging with only 3 players hitting the green all day.
