Because the weather caused cancellation of play before several flights completed, the Tourney Director, who also has a full time job with commitments, was required to perform a significant amount of manual computations to determine those flight winners. This delayed communication of final results.

Oh, wait... that was the World Cup and Futbol. But just like the USA lost their 3rd round match in the Group stage, yet advanced to the Knockout stage, our Lone Tree team lost to The Meadows on Sunday, July 13th, but advanced to the Playoffs. Captain Jim Eliassen Reports:

The Meadows Golf Club put a whippin' on the Lone Tree Golf Club competitors 23-13. We had some very good individual results with Mike Morong starting off with a 44 on the front but a rip-roaring 33 on the back to beat his opponent. Mike's caddie, Peter Garvin, took the credit for the back nine score and Mike grudgingly accepted the credit for his front nine! Doug Moore fired a steady, 2 under par, 34-36=70 and lost to his opponent who shot a 71 with four pops from Doug. Impressive play from both! Randy Gaddis won his match at The Meadows firing an even par 72 and Steve Bryant shot 73 and lost in a tight match. The awesome team of Bill McDermott and Denny Schroeder took all 6 points at The Meadows! Dependable Denny fired an 82 in a practice round last Monday and fired another 82 in his match today! We halved some matches but it was an extremely tough day!

Unofficially, the Group 1 Results appear to be:

Lone Tree Golf Club 61 points
Saddle Rock/Murphy Creek 55 points
South Suburban Golf Club 51 points
The Meadows Golf Club 49 points

We'll report again as soon as the Results are announced on the Colorado Golf Association Website for the Interclub matches. Pairings for upcoming Playoffs will be scheduled in early August as other Groups have matches through the end of July.

I'll be in touch!
