4-Ball winners go low with a pair of Aces

4-ball two-somes turned up the heat on Wednesday with second round scores dropping as much as 12 strokes off the previous week's efforts. Bobby Sayous & Derek Nagamine won the 1st flight competition with a net 55, while Bill Campbell & Bob McCormick carded the tournament low net score of 52 to win the 2nd flight. Peter Porfido & Michael Blaz won the 3rd flight with a 55 as did Don Schwartz & Denny Dalman who also finished the 4-ball competition with 55.

Most improved nods go to Campbell & McCormick who dropped 12 strokes in round 2. Barry Baker & Bob Twaddle dropped 11 strokes and Glenn Taylor & Bob Martinelli shaved 10 strokes off their first round score.

Folks on the driving range heard the uproar early last Wednesday when Bobby Sayous laced an ace on the 8th hole in the first round of the 4-ball tournament. Then later in the day Matt Ryan stepped up to the tee and proceeded to play number 8 to perfection with an ace of his own. Congratulations gentlemen!

"Toys for Tots" Once Again Happening at Seascape

Once again, "Toys for Tots" is under way at Seascape, a project that ASMC and the Ladies' Club have consistently supported over the years.

To participate, there are two ways -- up until December 16.

-- Bring an unwrapped toy and place it in the receptacle just outside the pro shop.  Toys for any aged child will be appreciated but please don't contribute toys of an aggressive nature -- guns, knives, etc.

OR

-- Lesa Tate, our Christmas Angel behind the counter at Bogie's, has a special "Toys for Tots" tip jar. Lesa accumulates these donations and shops for discount and special-price toys, getting really good deals, which she then places in the toy receptacles. This makes donations go even further!

Be sure to thank Lesa for her hard, volunteer work.

Golf Rules! A concession is a concession is a concession

Here's a rule situation for match play that comes from the most recent Golf Digest -- a rule that may well be news to many players.

In a four-ball match -- that's a two-man, best ball competition like our Turkey Shoot coming up in November -- Player A has a 10-foot putt for birdie and his partner, Player B, has a five-footer for bogey, and his ball is on the same line as Player A.

Their opponents concede Player B's bogey putt, not wanting Player A to see the break from his partner's inconsequential putt. The problem arises when Player B ignores the concession and putts anyway.

Player B elects to putt despite the concession and his partner receives assistance from him in doing so. The result? Player A is disqualified from the hole. Player B's putt, having been conceded, stands as the side's score for the hole.

2-4. Concession Of Match, Hole Or Next Stroke

A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.

A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole.

A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time, provided theopponent’s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke, and the ball may be removed by either side.

A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.

2-4/6

Putting Out After Concession of Stroke

Rule 2-4 does not cover the question of whether a player may putt out after his next stroke has been conceded. A player incurs no penalty for holing out in such circumstances. However, if the act would be of assistance to a partner in a four-ball or best-ball match, the partner is, in equity (Rule 1-4), disqualified for the hole.
