Buffalo Grove Doubles *Mondays*

[Mike S]

6:15 tonight, Reds + Blues, Ace hasnt been hit in a while, starts @ $80

[Mike S]

15 people last night - Marty and I won with a -11, Rocky & Kyle took 2nd with a -10.  No aces...  Next week the fund will get capped and all the new ace money will go into a 2nd fund.

$100 Ace Fund next week (8/20)
6:15 start, Concrete & Red Tees

[Mike S]

I'll be out there at 6 tonight, rain or shine...  If it looks too nasty or if nobody shows up, I'll call it off then.  Otherwise consider league to be on tonight.  Ace starts at $95!!!!

[Mike S]

Only 6 people showed up this week (the weather was threatening all day), Jim & Myself took it with a -8.  No aces, so the pool has been capped at $100, with $1 in the reserve fund.

I will be out of town next monday so I cant run the league, and Rocky moved to Colorado this week.  If any of the regulars can substitute for me, please email or PM (or call) and I can give you the payout info, etc.  Otherwise I will have to cancel the league for next week.

Thanks-

A few people have asked me questions about the bring-your-own-partner doubles event at Willow Stream....  I dont have any info about that.  That tournament is completely run by the park district, and there are flyers for it posted around the course.

Our monday night league is not affiliated with the park district in any way.

You can contact Erika at the Park District.  She has played before and is very interested in making the tourney better.  I personally have worked with her before.

NO LEAGUE TONIGHT 8/27

[Mike S]

Ahh, didnt realize that next monday was Labor day already!!!  Sorry guys, attendance is always lousy (or zero) on holidays.  NO LABOR DAY 9/3 LEAGUE.

See you all at 6:00 on 9/10 for Concretes and Blues, $100 Ace pool!!

Are we still on for 6pm tomorrow? We haven't had leagues in two weeks and the days have shortened somewhat since then. It gets dark now around 7:30. Will we have time to play the full 18 if we start at 6?

We should probably try to start a little earlier if possible...  I will be out there tonight around 5 to set up the flags, and I'll see when we should start based on the number of people that are there.  Worst case is that we start at 6 and play the last few holes with low light, which usually isnt too terrible on that course.  It should play faster now with all the college kids gone and the temperature dropping.  5:30 will be the start time from now on, but I'm not going to turn people away tonight because I didnt announce it in advance.

Concretes and Blues tonight, $100 Ace pool!!!

[Mike S]

There was no league last week because of the weekly monday downpour in Buffalo Grove.  Weather looks clear tonight!!!

5:30 tonight, Concretes and Blues, $100 Ace Pool

[Mike S]

No league next week.  Here is the remaining schedule for 2007:

9/24 - NO LEAGUE
10/1 - Concrete/Red
10/8 - Concrete/Blue
10/15 - Concrete/Red

All leagues start @ 5:30 from here on out.

Ace pool is currently maxed out at $100 with $8 in the reserve fund.  If nobody hits an ace between now and the end of the 10/15 league, I will split the entire pool into 3 portions and we will do a CTP for each portion (concrete, red and blue tees for hole 9 will be used for the CTP's).

[Mike S]

5:30 tonight, Concrete & Red tees, $100 Ace fund

[roman]

If I get held up at work today again I won't be happy.

[Mike S]

5:30 tonight, Concretes & Blues

Still $100 for an Ace, with $16 in the backup fund

[Mike S]

Last night of 2007 League is tonight!!!

Concretes and Reds, 5:30 start

$100 ace with $21 in the reserve.  If nobody aces tonight, we will do 3 CTP's for the ace fund at the end.  Anyone that cant make it to the course by 5:30 but played in the league at some point this year is welcome to show up for the ace fund throw-off.  Wouldnt be a bad idea to bring some glowsticks, as we will definitely be finishing in the dark.

[Mike S]

Thanks a lot to everyone that came out this year.  It was a great time, and I'm sure it will only get better.  I think the three sets of tees helped keep things interesting, hopefully we can get some new ideas put into play next year.

12 people for the last league- Marty and Kyle won last night by a big margin, shooting a course record -14 on the Concrete/Red layout for $38.  Roman and I took 2nd place in a playoff for $10.

JP took a CTP on 2 for $11, I took the CTP on 5 for $11, and Kyle took the CTP on 8 for a Champion Teerex-X that I donated.

We threw off for the ace money on hole 9.  We did a CTP from each of the three tees, with each CTP worth $45.  Kyle took the CTP from the concrete layout, and I got both of the alternates.

Thanks again everybody, and see you next year.

Okay-  so the time change has officially happened and that should mean leagues are starting up.

I am not sure on what is going to happen with this league as I am no longer in the area.  I haven't been able to to hear from Schlaak and I am not sure on what this leagues future status holds. 

I will try to contact him and many of the other golfers that made their way out there.

I hope this league continues to run.  I will post back on what information I find out.  If anyone is interested in possibly filling my small role in this league please contact me.

[Mike S]

I'm heading out to BG after work today to see what the course is like.

I want to start the league up sometime in early-mid April, after the days have gotten long enough for us to start at 5:30 and still finish with some light.  I will start the league with a format similar to last year, switching between the two sets of alternate tees.

I'll need to find someone that can sub for me if I can't make it.  Every once in a while I have to make last-minute travel plans for work and can't be around on a Monday.  So basically I need someone to act as a possible backup every once in a while.  I think I missed maybe 3 or 4 leagues last year because I was out of town for work.  Damn fuses.

hey mike, i can help on those days. i usually get off work around 130-2 so it shouldn't  be a problem. let me know.
