Results from Santee, October 2008


Money Detail Summary:Scoring results

Tournament Players:

It was an exceptional year.
Three things went well for me this year: the weather, the weather, and the weather.
I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed watching others winning my money; but, screw you.

Everything is listed in order of
Top money winners.

· Phil goes GREEN! Known as “wind mill”, Phil won stroke play on the last day to knock out Sal as money leader. That’s why he is the PHILMEISTER!
· Thom the newcomer takes a few bucks. Four greenies. But, we expect that from a low handicapper. Scramble leader.
· Glennie helps cover the high cost of New York living by overcoming his new handicap. Good show! Always a top three player.
· Did Sal choke on the last day? He was the “dog with the bone” all week. Someone has been taking lessons. Nice bone, by the way!
· Ray, the Official Champion, by winning match play in the first flight. Next year, match play will mean BIGGER money! No Greenies?
· Girts finally breaks even. Plus $16 dollars. Wow! Now he can bail out a bank.

Losers are next:


· Charlie: after last year, he still is positive on cash. Almost a break-even this year.
· Donnie: Looking good, just not winning the big bucks. Tied with Thom with four Greenies.
· Bill: In the pack, $18 dollars short on break-even. Get on the winning scramble team and your there.
· Chris, nice tan, a good week to absorb sun rays. Not a good week for winning big golf money.
· George, yes me. Truly a Suck-oh tournament. Next year, I go fishing with Bill. Got, lucky on the Scramble.
· Stu joins me in the basement. We are proud financiers of the tournament. Next year can’t come soon enough.


All things considered, the money winning was well balanced. 6 in the black; 6 in the red.
Everybody won at least half their money back.
I personally thought that the match play would widen the gap between winners and losers; but, it doesn’t appear to have.
The top six all played from about plus 2 to plus 3. So, better performers did win more money. OK, that’s the way it should be.
The next four were within 5-6 strokes of their handicap. Ok, too.
We won’t talk about the last two.
Greenies were spread around also.

The consensus is that match play was a good idea. More prize money next year for match-play? I like it!

Your comments are sometimes welcome. Email if you like. I just might reply.

All hail the Philmeister. He is our leader. Our guiding light. Our big money winner!

George, aka G-Man.
