Summer Has Arrived!

The weather this week at Yankee Springs can only be described as hot. With temperatures peaking in the high eighties and low nineties, along with high humidity, it was not comfortable playing golf. At least two golfers decided to call it quits short of playing 18 holes. Perhaps they were the smart ones. One thing did help this week; all golfers arrived at the course earlier than usual. In fact, on Thursday we were able to begin our instructions by 9:05. This allowed us to complete play a little earlier than usual before the real heat of the day arrived.

Seeing the results in 2-person aggregates through the years, the thing we have noticed is that this type of tournament is truly a team event. Unlike scrabbles, and even best balls, it usually takes both teammates playing well for success. One teammate cannot carry a team without help. We noticed something unusual on Thursday. None of the four golfers with a closest-to-the-pin won any other money for the day. Surprising as that may seem, it was the first time this year that has happened.

The results from Yankee Springs are now available.
