Glenn Taylor Shoots Better Than His Age

Glenn Taylor, who is 80, shot 79 on Tuesday, Feb. 21. He did it with a birdie on 18. Congratulations Glenn!

BTW: A couple of days later, Glenn went back out and shot his age: 80. Just trying to whittle down that handicap, eh Glenn?

Ryno, Braga, DeBernardo and Geisick Win Flights in February Tourney

Frank DeBernardo shot a blistering net 64 to become top qualifier for the NCGA Zone tournament, joined by Glenn Taylor (67), Brad Ryno (68) and Shanne Carvalho (68), who posted the best net scores and had handicaps low enough to qualify for NCGA tournament play.

 

Ryno won the first flight, followed by Steve Rodrigues, Jerry Woods, Michael Wade, Bill Hlaward and Phil Trounstine.

 

Danny Braga won the second flight, with a net 71, followed by Joe Claridge, John Reisdorf, Gerry Catalano, David Webb and Pete Pappas.

 

DeBernardo, Taylor and Carvalho were the top finishers in the third flight, followed by Rodd Doerr, Jorgen Hagglof and Tim Carl.


In the fourth flight, Ray Geisick took top honors with 68, followed by Breese White, John MacDonald, Mike Howley, Don Bonnel and Jim Morris. Because of the NCGA's maximum handicap requirements, players in the fourth flight were not eligible for the zone tournament.

Closest to the pin honors on #8 went to Bill Halward,  Barry Baker and Mike Beebe. On #12 the winners were Danny Braga (1 foot!) Jim Geesman and Dave Schulz.

ASMC March 21st Tournament

The next ASMC tournament will be the "ABCD Blind Draw Shamble" -- a four-man team event in which the two best net scores on each hole will count, scheduled for March 21.

The field of sign-ups will be listed by course handicap and divided by four to create A, B, C and D groups. Each team will include one player from each handicap group, chosen by blind draw. Everyone will play at 90% of their handicap.

Each player will hit a drive on each hole and the team will pick which drive to play from and then all players will play their own ball from there though the hole. Teams must use at least three drives from each player over the course of the 18 holes. The two best net scores on each hole will determine the team's score. Prizes will also we awarded for closest to the hole on #8 and #12.

As usual, the cost is $15 per player. Players may sign up on the bulletin board in the club house or by sending an email to www.asmcgolf@gmail.com.
