The soggy Summer 2015 season has finally come to an end. Lake Jovita played brutal yesterday despite being one of the best draining courses in the region. Already on the longer side of our standards, shots plugged in bunkers and the uncut rough made advancing the ball extremely difficult. So maybe it's of no surprise that the winner was someone who hits the fairway almost 70% on average.
Chandler won his third tournament in a row to reclaim the DPT Cup for a record third time. His net score of 69 was the only round under par, winning by a comfortable 5 strokes. Dave, Guest and Buchert all tied for 2nd at +2.
The season was pretty competitive throughout, and we saw a lot of guys drastically improve their handicaps. A bunch of league members are near their lifetime lowest index, and a few of us shot our best rounds ever. Brendan's -16 (net) to start the season might not ever be beat. And I doubt we'll see a 7.1 drop in handicap over six months like we did with Darren.
We take a long break due to football... but many of us still play weekly during the off-season. Check the site for random outings, especially once your favorite college and pro teams rack up a few losses. We currently have 8 vouchers to a Arnold Palmer course in Orlando that we need to use soon (more on that later).
But first, it's Ryder Cup week! In a bit I'll put together a preview with all the information you need to know.
I want to know what happened to Gary?
ReplyDeleteIs that bay hill vouchers? I still want to try to play every weekend for sure
ReplyDeleteI'll bring season stats for everyone this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGary has been killing it all year OUTSIDE of league play. He has 36 rounds recorded this year, and coincidentally 18 in league and 18 out of league. Using the standard handicap formula... his handicap OUTSIDE of league play is 9.5! But his handicap IN league play is an abysmal 13.0!
ReplyDeleteThat's what happened to him. He gets nervous around you guys. Or he was pressing too hard to leave the Gorecki Group.
Dave... vouchers are for the Legends Course at Orange Lake. It's a pretty solid track, assuming it's still in good condition. To play Bay Hill you have to stay at the lodge there.
