FBGC Championship - Summer 2026 Recap

It was the Cellar's Revenge yesterday as our top three finishers all came from the unsupervised final group of the day. Moostie overcame a triple-bogey on the first hole, to shoot a -4 (net) and win for the second straight time at Hunter's Green.

 

Reid made a quad on two and still finished solo-2nd, his best finish since August of 2025. 

 

And Melberg opened with 8 straight pars, and set a new course record (76 gross) despite double bogeys on 9 and 18.

 

John did not do as well, probably because he tried to switch out of this group before the round!

 

Faz won the closest-to-pin for the 2nd time ever - netting him a healthy $14. 

 

--------------------------

 

Everyone else was unimpressive. I highly doubt Ho's 13 stroke swing from front to back is a record, but it was his first official trunk-slam of the season.

 

Hunter's Green was in excellent shape, and the brutal heat went away for a couple of holes - before coming back - as we dodged all the rain.

 

It's by far the best value we're getting right now, so hopefully it continues. 

 

-------------------------- 

 

With Gorecki bailing on Reunion, Marcus is now back in - a huge boost to his chances. Ho is in 2nd - but not really relevant with his low handicap and current mental state. Moostie is only playing one more event so he's basically OUT.  Dave is only playing two of the final three.

We could easily see Marcus win the season without scoring another point!

 

Reminder: anyone who doesn't play in 4 events BEFORE the finals can not be in the field for money or points. They're still welcome to play for fun down at Rosedale. This rule is going to apply to a bunch of people.

 

--------------------------  

 

This weekend is the Hangover - our season party. The "others" have picked PopStroke out in Wesley Chapel, which I believe will be our first visit to the area. Bring your wives... perhaps your kids? Maybe your putter?

 

Their food is decent, and I've hung out there a couple of times without even playing putt-putt.

 

Everyone who makes an appearance will be playing for the side-pot at Scepter on Sunday (9:56am).

 

Speaking of, I guess we're dropping the field down to 12 based on those who said they were in. I'll see some of you Saturday!
