ESPN Qualifier Results and Hole In One

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. As most of you know we hosted a ESPN Local qualifying event on Sunday June 1st. We had 58 players (29 teams) competing for 2 gross and 2 net spots in the regional qualifying round which will be held at The Crumpin Fox Club in August. Although we had a number of teams from other clubs, the qualifying spots were all won by a team with at least one BLCC Member on it. The Gross qualifying teams were the team of James and Paul Nero with a score of 67, and the team of John Keeler and Scott DeLisle with a score of 72 (* 2nd by match of cards). As for the Net Division The team of Rich Simon and Jason Cooper defeated the team of Ron Lorette and Joe Granich in a 1 hole sudden death playoff to secure 1st place. Both teams shot 61 net to tie after regulation play. Congratulations to all the teams who qualified and best of luck at the regionals.

In another note of congrats please be aware it is time to re-up your Hole in 1 Insurance. Donna Heskett recorded a Hole in 1 on the 13th hole Saturday. Nice going Donna!! Thanks again to all who participated in the ESPN event on Sunday and I hope you all enjoy this gorgeous Monday.

Champions Cup Results and Upcoming Events

I would like to pass on congratulations to the White team who narrowly defeated the Blue team by a score of 55 1/2 to 51 1/2 in the Champions Cup Event on Saturday May 10th. This was one of the closest events ever and I hope you all enjoyed the competition and team spirit that I had the pleasure of witnessing on Saturday!!

We have a couple of upcoming events to make you all aware of: On Monday May 26th we will be having a Memorial Day Super Loop with tee times starting at 7:30 am. The event will consist of A B C and D players on each 4 person team and the event will be a 1 gross and 1 net ball combined for each team. There will also be a skins game included in the entry fee and we will have 2 divisions for skins ( A and B players and C and D players) We will also have a buffet lunch following play and the cost for lunch and the event is only $30. We have to limit the size of the field to 40 players so if you are interested in playing sign up soon!!

The Friday night scramble has also started again for the season and you may sign up in the shop if you are interested in playing. You may sign up as a couple or as a single but the shop will be pairing up teams in an attempt to make the pairings equal.

Last but not least the ESPN 2 man/women Challenge will be held on Sunday June 1st this is a great event and each player who enters receives a dozen Callaway golf balls ( A $45 value) and a chance to represent Burden Lake at the National Finals in Las Vegas. Ask Dan Ireland, John Cooney, or James Nero who all attended the finals in Vegas what a great event this is.
