August
2018

The 5th tournament of the year was played at Kings Island. It was a beautiful day and scores were a little lower. Tees and distances were shorter but I think it played fair for all. Because of the odd number of golfers Dave Lainhart drew a blind score which was Rich Mealey that allowed him to win 1st place. What a good draw since Rich was low net for the tournament.

 There was also some discussion and posting scores in the USGA handicap system. Most people post their scores but there are a few golfers who need to either play more golf or post the scores when you do play. Remember most golfers can only take a 7 when figuring handicaps so anything over a 7 for people under 20 handicaps must be subtracted when posting scores.

 In an effort to get information to the members TJ Cope has developed a website. The web page site is:

  The deadline for the Browns Run Tournament will be Wednesday August 9th.. Entry fee for this tourney is $53 per man which includes greens fee and prize fund.The tee times will start around 12:00 PM. This is a 3 man double best ball format. You can pick your own foursome to play with but we will have a blind draw when you finish. You can sign up as a twosome or a foursome if you want to play with someone. Individuals who do not have partners need to send in their money if they want to play too. I will try and pair them together if possible.

 Anyone wanting to play must have a USGA handicap by now.

 As we found out people who did not have a paid USGA handicap card was penalized from the last  tournament. With this warning in place everyone is expected to have a handicap for the rest of the year.
