Next Sunday, June 19 is our next tournament at the Links. Yes, I know it is Father’s Day. As importantly , it is the final round of the US Open. So in an effort to get out there as early as possible, Links/Woodlawn members have booked 3 tee times in Links member slots so that all Woodlawn members will get out earlier, even the last groups. If we get 32 players, the last group will tee off at 11:39 and everyone should be off the course by 4:00, leaving you time to get home and bask in the attention from your family. And isn’t Father’s day supposed to be the day dad gets to do what he likes? To those who won’t play on Father’s Day all I would say is grow a pair!!!

Hi,

This is a message from Jim ‘Sam Champion’ Murphy:
‘The weather prediction for Sunday is pretty gloomy at the moment, with lightning/thunderstorms figuring prominently in the forecasts. We are monitoring those forecasts, but there is a high chance of cancellation of Sunday’s tournament at Split Rock.
Please check your email regularly until then.
In the event of a cancellation, we would reschedule the tournament to Sunday, 6/26.’

On a different note, a number of first round handicap matches still need to be played. Please make every effort to get in touch with your opponent and get the match played.
Also, please email me, Jim and John O’Meara with a result when you have one.

Thanks,

Thierry (on behalf of ‘Sam’)

This tournament will be your last chance to play first round handicap matches. If you don’t know where you stand, look at the website, Woodlawngolfclub.com and click the tab ‘championships’ to find out your opponent. It is also a chance to play your first round CC or B match.

I hope to hear from many of you in the next 36 hours….have a good healthy week, Jim

From: James Murphy

Apologies for some hiccups with my email this past week. I had messages I sent to legit email addresses bounce back as ‘undeliverable’. So I’d like to get rolling with sign-ups as early as possible for Sunday June 5 (7:00 AM) at Split Rock to avoid a repeat.

First round handicap matches can be played up to, and including, the June 5 event. This is a hard deadline and no extensions will be given. And CC and B matches will be also made for that event.

Yesterday’s results:

Congrats to Dan Curtin and Gerry Noone for winning the Partner’s with a net 62. The Champs declined the opportunity to represent Woodlawn at the MGA partners even in June and that honor will go to second place team of Mulligan-Bennett who carded a better-ball 66.

On the individual side:

Ist Pat Lafferty 86 off 14 net 72

2nd Phil O’Meara 73 ( match of cards with Tom O’Meara)

Low Gross Tom Bennett 82
CTP 3rd hole Kieran O’Sullivan ( only player to hit green!)

Guys , my attempt to send out a detailed email about tomorrow was met with 42 undelivered messages. So I will send out one with the barebone facts.

Our first tee time is 11:12. It is both a partner and individual stroke play event.

There 7 groups , plus 2 members playing in Links members slots earlier
The first three groups out are as follows :

11:12 Elias Pile Leavy Carey
11:21 Lange Scales Whalen Lafferty
11:30 K O’ Sullivan Brosnan Gilland Marshall

Everyone be there by no later than 11:15. It is two events: an individual stroke play and the one day Partners Championship. entry $20 per man

We have been cited by the Links Board for slow play. The first group is responsible to set 4:20 pace and don’t hesitate to say something if you think someone in your group is playing too slowly.

The rest of the details to follow at the course

From: James Murphy

We had a beautiful morning yesterday at Pelham Bay. And the earlier tee times are paying off in less congestion on the course and a better pace of play. It’s nice when everyone is off the course before 1 pm and there is time to get some other things done with the day if you choose. Before moving on to next Saturday’s Partner’s event at the Links, here are the results:

1st place Kevin Lynch 84 off 18= 66 net ( 33 net on back nine)

2nd place Jim Murphy 76 off 10= 66 net ( 34 net on back nine)

3rd place Tim Bell 77 off 8= 69 net

CTP 8th hole Bob Andrasick
CTP 12 hole Joe Firth
LD 18th hole Martin Moss

Low Gross 76 Jim Murphy

There were also 6 first round Handicap matches played yesterday, leaving 13 matches unplayed. If you can arrange to play a Handicap match next Saturday, I will attempt to pair teams in the Partner’s so that individual matches can also be played. Please get your
partnerships lined up early and contact me by 10 AM Thursday to sign up. If you don’t have a partner, sign up and I will try to match you up with another single.

The winner next week will also represent Woodlawn at the MGA “Met Net” partners qualifying tournament in early June, details to follow. In order to enter the MGA competition, an additional fee of $20 per TEAM is required. This is in addition to the normal $10 per man entry fee.

So get back to me early and get yourself a dance partner!

From: James Murphy

Hello again,
Tomorrow marks the 4th qualifier for the CC and B and thus will be played off stroke play. Also, I have paired 12 competitors in the 1st round of the Handicap tomorrow. First Round Handicap matches should be played by month end and those not contested tomorrow will likely have to be played outside our tournament since next weekend’s Woodlawn event at the Links will be the annual one-day Partner’s championship. It is noted those first round contestants that are showing up and those who aren’t should the committee have to determine who advances. Of course, everyone prefers these things to be decided on the golf course.
Since we have an odd number, their will be one group of five tomorrow. My apologies for that but the management of SR/PB does not want to give an extra tee time that would have allowed 3 threesomes.

I respectfully ask that EVERYONE ( with one exception, a guy who was courteous enough to inform me he would be a little late) have checked in and paid me before 7 AM. Our first group heads to the tee at 6:58 and I expect everyone there by then. It shouldn’t be too much to ask since everyone will be on the course before 8 AM. Remember, if I can be there from Northern NJ , you can make it from the Bronx, Westchester ( especially Pelham Manor NY
