Members Week 2011

Every year the Club hosts an entire week dedicated especially to the members that make this place so special.  Amongst the array of meetings, dinners, and appreciation party, member's week also give us a chance to host what amounts to our club championship of sorts.  There isn't any other tournament we host where both men and women compete in flighted match play, which is the general measure of a club champion.  This tournament strikes the perfect balance of competition and laid back, fun golf.  For a two day tournament such as this we flight both men and women into four person flights with two matches per flight.  The winners of those two matches played on Saturday, the 27th, to determine the overall winner.  The less fortunate people from Friday, got entered into a two person "Texas Shamble" consolation round.  Texas Shamble is where both people tee off, take the best drive of the two, and play thier own ball in from that point with 80% of their handicap. To the winners, we tossed out some bottles of wine and golf balls, it was a great time for everyone, and without further adieu, here are the folks who took home some vino.

2011 Bucks & Does

August already! You start stringing these absolutely perfect days we have had together and you lose track of time.  It seems like just yesterday we opened, but in reality yesterday was the final round of the 2011 Bucks & Does.  The tournament was a huge success with 11 teams comprised primarily of a member couple hosting a guest couple in a two day format.  The first day the two men from the team go out and put together their best ball of the twosome while paired with the men from another team, the women go out it in a similiar fashion. On the second day the two couples rejoin eachother and put together their two net best balls of the foursome. To add to the tournament a little bit we also throw in a shoot-out on Friday afternoon which every team competed in.  All in all it was a really fun tournament both for the members and the staff as well.  Here are a few photos to fill you in on the results of our weekend.

Roger directing shoot-out #1 on two green while Ray tries to follow suit with shoot-out #2 on four green.

 Great shot here of Mr. & Mrs. Gallagher stalking the fairways with the Bealke's in the background.  The Gallagher/Bealke team finished fourth in the overall tournament. 

Our shoot-out winners, Mr. Bailey, Mrs. Dana, with Mr. & Mrs. Cortney.  They defeated the Faith/Morgan team out of Boulder. On top of that heafty envelope for winning the shoot-out, this team also finished for third in the overall tournament, very well played! 

The happy couple of Mr. & Mrs. Tibbs hosted the Carlsons from Gulf Shores Alabama this week.  The Tibbs Carlson team was good enough for second place in the overall tournament.

And here are our overall champions, team Durbano/Cutrubus.  This Ogden connection was tough to beat from the first hole on.  We think Mr. Durbano is really liking those new found gold tees.
