Eric Black sets the tone in St. Paddy’s Day Shootout

Eric Black started the Homestead Men’s Golf Club season off in style as he carded an ace, a closest to the pin, two skins and a share of the top spot in his flight in the St. Paddy’s Day Shootout.

Black, who bagged his hole-in-one on the No. 2 hole, was later joined by Colin Van Kampen, whose tee shot found the bottom of the cup on the No. 6 hole. Obviously, those shots also earned them CTP honors on those holes. Congrats, Eric and Colin!

Black also scored in two-man team scramble action, where he and partner Brian Gurley tied for first with Joe Bradley and Connor Hollowell in Flight 1 with a 7-under score of 58. Scott Yates and Dan Gutrich were third at 2-under (63) while Mike Brevig and Colin Van Kampen checked in at 1-under (64).

In Flight 2, Victor Grider and Bill Maroney took the top spot at 3-under (62), with Todd Rice and Clay Weiss close behind at 2-under. Dave Montague and Bob Dunst finished third at even par.

The winners in Flight 3 were Darryl Hudspeth and Drew Carrier with a 4-under 61. Bruce Golob and Rich Bottjer took second with a 66, and William Lambert and Phil Pettigrew followed at 69.

The 19^th Hole

Temps topped out at over 90 degrees – rare for a tourney that has often been postponed in the past due to snow…Solid results using the new on-course scorecard and leader board tracker for the first time. Fun feature is that even if you’re not playing, you can follow the leader board remotely from your phone or laptop….Good to see Kenny Valdez out and about after recent surgery…Team Hudspeth-Carrier cashed in for three skins….Skins, CTPs and Hole in One Payouts: These payouts will be made in cash and will be posted in your account on the HMGC website. Go to “My Transactions” under the “Hello” tab. In team events, your guest’s winnings will also be posted to your account. It’s up to you to get them their winnings – or not, lol!

Welcome!

The Homestead Men’s Golf Club (HMGC) is pleased to announce the launch of this new web site to serve as your source for the latest news and information pertaining to club activities.

This site was created to better communicate with members on all things HMGC – from tourney schedules to results to special announcements and everything in between.

We will do our best to keep the content fresh.  And that’s where all members can help!  Please feel free to offer suggestions as to how we can make this site a valued resource for all.

Got a really bad – but G-rated – golf joke?  Send it our way. Did you take a fun golf trip, hit a hole-in-one? Let us know.

And be sure to share your golf pics. As you know, a picture is worth a thousand words – which would save the web team a lot of writing time!
