VALENCIA 48 HACIENDA 48


It looks like the strategy of using lower handicap players on the road worked. (or maybe we were just lucky!)

Out on the road a tie is as good as win. It was a great day where every single point counted. A special shout out to all who clawed and scratched to the bitter end to get individual points when their team match was already over. This was really a TEAM effort.

Congrats to the temperate Dick Rai (73) teaming with Chris Chase for all 12 points. Also in the 12 point club was Greg "Seeing Eye" Collins and El Capitan. 11 points for Mark Savage and Tim Lawlor (72) and 8 points for Peter Cho and Bryan George. That represents 43 of our 48 points. Hacienda had four players in four different groups shoot under par net against our four other groups. Well done to Ben Delgadillo, John Gedney and Dennis Junker for scraping together the 5 points needed to get us the tie.

Next comes our good friends at El Caballero. Let's hope for better course conditions than our last trip. We have good core group of players and I will be working more guys into the battle. The lineup will be out ASAP.
