Fun at Rotary Golf
Rotary Golf continues back at River Glen this Monday, 6/14/10 which is Flag Day,. Wear some “red, white, and/or blue”. Please note that League Play at River Glen will run thru Monday August 23, 2010; however, we are not playing on Monday, July 5, 2010. Furthermore, you do not have to play every week; just play when you can. Also, we welcome your guests. The cost is the same as last year; $25 with carts or $19 for walkers. League play is handicapped plus is only nine holes; however, you may play the entire eighteen at no additional cost. Just pay at the Clubhouse before you play; tell them that you are with Rotary to get the discounted rate.. There will be a pause after nine to collect scores and socialize. Late golfers may join us then around 5:30 pm and play nine afterwards.
To those of you that didn’t join us last Monday at our Brickyard Crossing outing, you missed out because we had a great day for golf and all had a good time. Every golfer received a logo ball, a logo green’s marker, a towel, and tees. While nobody got a hole in one, Ralph Taylor was our “Bankers Handicap” Champion with a “low net” of 62; congratulations Ralph. Ask him how he chipped it in on the 165 yard par three hole # 4 from the almost 90 degree embankment on the right side of the hole. There were two “official” witnesses to see this great shot on the hole. Jeff Lake and Jim Pauloski, as it was our “hole in one” $20,000.oo prize hole. Tied for second low net with 66’s was Evan Goodman and Ken Young. We needed to use two holes to get the tie breaker and Evan Goodman won. Fourth low net was Kirby Durham at 67. Dan Shelley wasn’t there to defend his “shortest drive” and Kirby Durham obliged. There also was a real battle for highest gross; however, Tom Fisher claimed the prize this time J It should also be noted that Jim Boots Wife, Susan, got the longest drive on Hole # 15; way to go Susan! Other contest prize winners were Todd Lugar, Jerry Clifford, Dick Amick, Ken Konesco, and Steve Ivy. Thanks again to Tim Weiland of the Marion Rotary Club (Stanley Steemer) and our own Kirby Durham (First Financial Bank) for being our sponsors. Thanks to our witnesses (they said that they could be bribed); Jim Bethel, our starter for the day; and all 28 of you who played as we couldn’t have done it without you.
Monday, August 23, 2010, is slated to be our “fun day and awards” event; please mark your calendars as you won’t want to miss it. It will again be a “bankers handicap” event plus there will be prizes on almost every hole. More to follow in the future. If you or your company wants to be a sponsor for the day, please contact me. We accept almost anything. Of course, cash is welcome also.
