Penal Tee Strokes

So there they were, Teams 2 and 3, battling it out on #15 during the league wide scramble.  Team 3 had just chipped in to go 2 under par.  Team 2 was desperately trying to hold onto first place with Scramble Juggernaut Team 5 doing well a hole ahead.  Then it happened.  All four players hit the wrong ball.  Add 2 strokes to each score and do it again.  This cemented Team 2 to last place in the scramble and a couple spots in the standings.  Team 3 lost 4 points in the exchange, with a 6 point swing with Teams 1 and 5, by forfeiting first place in the scramble, but still claiming first place in the league.  Which, you know, weird.

The entire league has continued to bunch up like never before.  We are truly half way through and it promises to be the most parity every seen in Fore Skin Land.

This week, round robin play continues, at Beautiful Wesburn.  Be there.

Half Life

We reach the midpoint of the season with the closest race in Fore Skin history (The Captain does not even have to check the FSGL Archives) to end the first stanza.  Less than 10 points spans the entire field.  Team 2 is focused.  Team 4 is just playing.  Team 3 is feast or famine.  Team 5 is cruising.  Team 1 is working hard.  Let’s see who stays consistent the longest.

Let’s finish the first half with a two man scramble shall we?

Crazy Eight

Week 8 is reborn as Position Night #2 this week!  The original Week 8, a regular round robin scheduled night, has been pushed to the end of the year, right before Championship Night, which in itself was pushed a week.  See the details in this week’s press release to the left.

POS NITE #2 promises to be action packed as the league is bunched up as close as the Captain can remember.  Also, it will be action packed because the mosquitoes will be chasing us for food.  Be there, this week, on the front nine of beautiful Wesburn!

Flash Flood F&%#

WEEK 8 IS CANCELLED (6/9/2010).  See you next week!

And so it flows.

As we see the league tighten up into a seemingly record spread of only 10 points nearly halfway through a fast season with no rainouts, we find our course a bit under water.

We may not be able to play tomorrow.  We will make the call in the afternoon.  Right now, we are scheduled for the back nine and the back part of that nine is under water.  It has receded a bunch in the past 24 hours, so it is optimistic we can get our nine in.  But with more rain forecasted, who knows for sure.

An update tomorrow.  Meanwhile, take a look at the left and see updated information and documents and everything a whole day earlier than usual lately.  You are welcome.

UPDATE: We will call Wesburn at noon Wednesday and assess our situation then.

UPDATE:  FSGL WEEK 8 (6/9/2010) is CANCELLED due to flooding on the back 5 holes!

Plan B

The Newbie Team Klotz has pulled into sole possession of the lead.  Meanwhile, the entire league has bunched up even more.  Also, a certain Captain is playing his first B Flight match...EVER.  That is tonight, at Wesburn weather permitting.

Scrambling Scrambling

Back nine two man scramble.  Tonight.  Remember - three drives minimum per Fore Skin.  That is three off the tee.

The spread in the standings has gotten smaller.  The newbie Team Klotz has pulled into a tie with veteran Team 2.  Team 1 is hovering per usual.

POSITION NIGHT #1

Once again, the current Fore Skins forgot to fix the Fore Fathers’ mistakes and Position Night is NOT an actual position night.  The first place team gets to play a bye week while the others fight to keep pace.  Still, anything can happen in late May on the Wesburn track.  C-ya tonight.

And So, Week 4

After three weeks, the standings are taking shape with Team 1 throwing their hat in the ring and making a statement that this year is different (than all those other years).  The holders of the last 5 cups (Team 3) in one way or another are anchored in last place, although everyone is still bunched up.  Teams 5 and 2 are also making bold statements while the newbies (Team 4) are hanging in nicely.  Be there, in the cold, at Wesburn tonight.

FSGL TwentyTen! Week 3 is tonight!

Finally.  Yes, the secretary’s staff has finally updated the site.  Standings and documents to the right.  Easier to read.  Faster to download.  All around an improvement as only The Captain knows how to get done.
