On Saturday, May 11th, the JGA's Saturday Gang Play had a beautiful day and the greens were firm and fast.

Jimmy's impressive score of 77 earned him the win for the day. Randall followed closely behind with an 78.

We played Nassau, using handicaps, with winners on the front, back, and overall including skins on the par 3s.

Jimmy Pearson won front, back, and overall, and most of the skins for the par 3’s

Randall won the last skin on the back.

It's great to see the Saturday Golf gang play outings growing. We hope to have even more people participating next time. See you in a couple weeks.

We had some great play this past Saturday for our last Saturday Gang play of the year. Randall Harper led the way with a smooth 68 which ended with a back nine of five birdies and no bogeys and a score of 31. Good playing Randall. Randall Harper won the back nine with 23pts(+8). Charlie Gibson won the front 9 with 13pts(+3). Way to golf your ball.

We had another great day for golf for our last scheduled Saturday gang play of 2022.  The field started off slow on the front nine with windy conditions and cooler temperatures.  However, the back nine was a birdie fest. Pretty interesting to see considering how often the front nine yields more birdies typically.  The field had more than twice as many birdies on the back nine compared to the front nine.  Two players took most of the money home.  Mike Simmons and William Butler had themselves a day.  Well Played.

In the first flight, Mike Simmons shot even par 36-36-72 to take home 1^st place on the front and back nine.  Great playing.

Around 30 birdies on the day, only 6 held up.  Thanks to all that played.  This was the last scheduled Saturday play until Spring.  If weather is optimal one Saturday during the cold months leading up, well try and send out an email and get one scheduled.  It's good to hear many of you request some possible winter dates.  It means we are doing something right.  We also appreciate the support getting the Saturday game back up and going this year.  We will continue to improve it going forward and hopefully make it even better next year.

We'll see you then,

It was a chilly morning Saturday.  We had a few brave souls in shorts.  The golf course won, for the most part.  Marcy Newton was our low round of the day at even par.  Larry Blackwood was our big money winner.  We also had 25 players in our game Saturday which was great to see.  We appreciate everyone who has played and helped us grow our Saturday game so far this year.  We hope to continue to grow it.

‍

In the first flight, Marcy Newton shot 35 and edged out Chris Mckay on a scorecard playoff to win the front 9 at +1pts.  Thad Lowder started off slow but finished strong winning the back 9 outright at +2pts.

The golf course was playing difficult Saturday morning.  A combination of difficult pins and cooler weather definitely made scoring more difficult.  We had a great group of guys again Saturday regardless and it was a good day for golf.

In the First flight, Joe Cansler won the front side with 19 points including an eagle.  Jay Gardner secured his win on the back nine with 17 points and closing out the side with a great birdie on 17 which also won a skin.  Great playing Jay.

In Second flight, Rob Causey had a great front nine with 15 points, starting the round like we all like to see with a birdie on the first hole.  Larry Blackwood, who often finds himself in contention, won the back nine again with a 13 point performance. Good job guys.

Saturday gang play is back and we had a great day for golf. We played two-man best ball. Teams were determined based off players handicaps. Paired high to low. The pot paid out first and second place along with skins across the entire field.

‍

Results

• 1st - Lowder/Tosto - 69 - (won on scorecard playoff) $60 team
• 2nd - Coleman/Emden - 69 $40 team

‍

9 skins were out with the gang, so it cut into the amount per skin paid out making skins $5 each.

Thanks,
