2016 BSGH Year-End News Letter
Gentlemen,
Congratulations are in order to Paul Morgan as the BSGH 2016 Bill Springer Memorial Club Champion. Paul will represent the club in the SCGA Tournament of Champions. Congrats are also in order to Mike Pelletier as the 2016 Donovan Cup Points Champion and to “myself” as the 2016 Match Play Champion.
Rudy Barillas has the honor of Most Improved Golfer of the year, lowering his handicap index from 22.8 to a 14.5 (31 rounds posted. Tom Chevolek was second, going from a 15.5 to a 10.6 (58 rounds posted). Rey Avalos posted the most rounds year-to-date (131) with Bart Landsman second, posting 102 rounds.
Our active membership roster currently stands 52 members, however as with last year there are almost half of our members who have not participated in the monthly tournaments. We still need to make a concerted effort to get a better turn out for the tournaments.
The following will remain in effect for next year:
-
The Bill Springer Memorial Club Championship will remain as a two-day tournament. Members will only be eligible for entry into the Club Championship if they have participated in a minimum of 5 tournaments in the previous 12 months.
-
We will again have a separate “Donovan Cup” year-long points system for members choosing to participate, $25 entry fee at the beginning of the year. This will require additional work for Tom Chevolek, but he has indicated he is willing.
-
I will again run the Match Play for next year, $40 entry fee to be collected at the first tournament of the year.
-
We will try to run another Partner’s Blind Draw tournament with a President’s Cup type format (six holes better ball, six holes modified alternate shot and six holes scramble. The 24 participants this year really enjoyed the change of format.
With the above scheduled for next year we hope to enhance the members’ tournament experience and increase the number of participants for each tournament. Please contact me with your thought regarding the above and contact Randy if you have any suggestions for tournament sites or other issues.
Remember to check out the Club Website at: bsghgolf.com. Tommy Garcia does a great job keeping it updated.
