Month: August 2019

Registration is now open for the 2019 4-Ball Calcutta. After experimenting with 2-man teams we are going back to the original 4-man team format, we have also changed the scoring so please refer to the flyer. We have had great participation on all of the tournaments this year, so why should this one be any different. Let’s help bring the Calcutta back to it’s former glory!

NOTE: This is your last chance to earn cup points for the year in the race for the BMGA Cup. It is also your last chance to earn points to get into the BMGA shootout. If you are on the bubble, this is a tournament you won’t want to miss!

Two division races came down to a tight finish.
The team formerly known as CTB (now Jesse’s Barber Shop) overtook Foreplay’s 2 point lead to win the BCC South by 5.5 points.
Meanwhile, coming down to the last cards of the night, Hack Attack eeks out a 2 point division win over Putt 4 Dough in the GVC West Division.

In next week’s playoffs it will be two divisional grudge matches:
–Foreplay (wildcard) takes on Jesse’s Barber Shop (CTB) {BCC South}
–Putt 4 Dough (wildcard) takes on Hack Attack {GVC West}

Sitting at home awaiting the winners are the two #1 seeds:
– Fairway to Heaven (690.5 points and 13-3 record)
– Who’s Your Caddy (684.5 points and a 10-5-1 record)

First we are making up Week 3 next week so if you were scheduled to play that would be your tee time. Please coordinate with your teammates to make sure you can fill in a full roster. We have a few tight races so forfeits will not be looked upon well.

Change in division leaders in GVC West with Hack Attack halting the 8 week win streak of Putt 4 Dough with a convincing 48-32 win and taking over first place by 3 points.
Who’s Your Caddy has locked up GVC East by 37 points and the #1 seed overall with 642.5 points –the closest competitor is 20 points back (Hack Attack).  Will they sit their starters next week?
The wild card race has Putt 4 Dough in the lead by 17 over Range Balls.  

What to watch for next week: 

• GVC Division win decided when Putt 4 Dough takes on the Loopers (last place BCC South) and Hack Attack takes on Bald Man (almost last place BCC South)
• The loser of the division will probably be the wild card from GVC unless Range Balls comes up big when they play Last Call (last place BCC North) and closes that 17 point deficit.

Bassett Creek Conference is not so contested. Fairway to Heaven has pretty much locked in their first round bye, with their playoff history thru the years they will definitely need it. Foreplay has a 2 point lead going into the final week over CTB. The fight is really all about chits since the winner of the division will get the chits and the loser will get revenge by being the wildcard.

Round 1 of the Playoffs is August 28th and Please look for the signup sheet for free golf that week. Signup with your teammates and play a fun round of golf August 28th. Hopefully we will have the Clipboard out next week on the patio so everyone can signup. We will have a great time closing out the year…
