New Players 2012

[Timko]

Ben, can you send me the non-handicapped adjusted scores?  I want to see how the course played.

It's nice to see House playing the New Player's League.  KC's Rec Masters champ!

[BenC]

New Players League continues to grow.  Thirty-six people turned in scores last night.  The courses were mixed with everybody playing 12 holes down under and then coming up top to finish their last six holes.  The courses also continued to be worked on with some people deciding not to play in league instead hauling up trash from down under and continued triming up top getting it ready for Wide Open.  Matt Ecklund turned in the low round with a 51, unhandicapped.  There were 11 other 50's, 18-60's and 6 people turned in a score 70-90.  Chris Millsap walked away with the CTP, an ESP Cyclone, thrown from 18 blue setting to the practice basket.
Wyandotte County Parks and Rec made an apperance to talk to Jim Sherwood and Pete Cashen about the new tee pad placement on one and some other things happing in the park.  It was a good thing for them to drive around and search for a place to park and see how busy we were.  Maybe they take note on just how much the course is used.
Ladies Night Out also had a strong showing with ten ladies playing all up top holes with six of them being first timers.

Ben, are any of those people interested in volunteering at the Wide Open this year?

[BenC]

I have mentioned it every week so far we have had only one person step up, Richard Rhone.  He was interested in rosedale so I got a hold of Scott and passed on his information.

There was a slight drop in numbers Monday night, but we still had 26 people turn in a score.  We even had a couple people come out to get some Wide Open revenge on the course, but that didn’t happen all the pins have been moved.  Michael Quiroga took the DD CTP and Ed Holbrook walked away with a CTP disc donated by Drew Nietzel.  Rosedale will be the place to be Wednesday night as all pins are in the shortest or next position, and a large ace fund is at stake.

wow.....no chance to see how you compare to the Wide open....I call weak sauce on that one.....

[Cooper]

It was set in WO position for like a month. Could've seen ahead of time.

[jack]

while it was fresh from the event though...I stand by my statement....

25 people teed it up last night and 23 of them turned in a score.  There was a tie at the top of the scores, at 53, between Brandon Deere and Zeke Henry.  Josh Keihl took home the CTP throwing a shot into the ring, on the ground, of the practice basket from the back of the tennis court.
Next week we will do the longest day of the year, even though it is a couple days early.  27 holes, using the front nine down under and the up top course.

It's a lot easier to use the back nine of DU. You play 1-5 then go down under and play 10-18 then come back up and finish 6-9. Just FYI from an old league runner.

[BenC]

It did seam hot last night before we started out to the course but that didn’t keep people from coming out for some great golf.  We had twenty four people turn in scores two more than our weekly average and enough to push us past last years total for rounds played.  We had three guys drive all the way in from Denver just to play with us. You all can say it was for a different reason but I’m going with New Players League is pulling people in from all over the country.  Heath Kinton and Austin Penca were tied for hot round with a 53.  Lee Killian donated two discs and ran a ring of fire awarding the plastic to winner Josh Burdick.   After a small break we did the DD CTP, Josh stepped up last and put it under the practice basket from the skate park sidewalk to take home all the free stuff last night.
It is time for a little change of scenery so on July 16 New Players will be heading to Swope for a night.
