April 1, 2011 - Butternut Farm GC recently experienced suspected nuclear fallout from Japan.  Rather than lament the change in grass color from green to white, BFGC is instead marketing its new line of red golf balls.  Tom Damon was first in line to purchase the new balls!

Next Time, Ask For Directions!
 
June 15, 2011 - This was either the arrival of a 2012 luxury golf cart or a hole-in-one grand prize for the next day's tournament. A silver four-door sedan moved along the cart path between the practice and 9th greens going towards the 1st tee. It soon became obvious that someone was very lost! Our intrepid bartender shot out from the clubhouse to catch up with the vandals. The elderly driver was impressed with the error of her ways and calmly changed direction, at the end of a 15-point turn, to drive off into the sunset.

Congratulations
 
September 7, 2011 - Peter Dee and Fran Dee won our 2011 League Championship with well-contested 18-hole 42-30 victory over Ethan Aronie and Mike Flynn.  The match was played in dismal weather conditions (rain and mist in the mid-60s).  The championship was still in question going into the 16th hole.
 
Congratulations
 
September 7, 2011 - Tony Carpenito (-4) and Ethan Aronie (-2) won our Two-Man Blind Draw Net Medal event with a combined net score of 6-under-par.  Rusty Lorenzen (-3) doubled up his solo effort share the prize money.  Tom Damon and Peter Dee finished individual net 2-under-par efforts.
 

Congratulations
 
August 31, 2011 - We held our $5 individual skills fun event. Tony Carpenito (#4), Fran Dee (#2) and Brian Keith (#4) took closest-to-the-pin honors and Mike Zurawski (#7) earned a long drive honor in our intra-foursome competitions. Dean Charest won the overall closest-to-net-par competition by one stroke ahead of a six-way tie for second place including Tony Carpenito, Peter Dee, Henry Doherty, Brian Keith, Rusty Lorenzen and Mike Zurawski.

Sub Net-30 Rounds!
 
Brian Holub shot a "net 22" on May 4, 2011, while Dean Charest and Ethan Aronie scored "net 29" on May 18 and June 1, respectively!


Brain Holub Aced the 13th Hole on 4 May 2011

Hole-In-One!
 
May 4, 2011 - Brian Holub aced the 13th hole in the pouring rain.  Brian used a 5-wood from 188 yards out.  This is the league's first hole-in-one in nearly ten years since Tony Carpenito aced the 2nd Hole on August 1, 2001.

January 2011 - Rusty Caught Again!
