Congratulations
Rusty Lorenzen and Mike Zurawski
won our 18-hole 2008 League Championship on September 10 with a 42-30 victory over Henry Doherty
and Tony Carpenito. The match was played in excellent weather conditions (sunny
and in the mid-60s) on a course that was unfortunately being overly-watered to the point that the golfers had to deal
with active sprinkler heads and messy ground conditions including puddles on greens. The winners led through most
of the match from the 5th hole on and clinched the championship on the 16th green.
Congratulations
Brian Holub and Rusty
Lorenzen won our Two-Man Blind Draw Net Medal event on September 10, 2008, with a combined net
score of 9-under-par. Brian Keith took second place with a "doubled-up" 8-under-par
finish while Tony Carpenito and Mike Hume earned third place with
a combined 5-under-par result.

Congratulations
Henry Doherty
eagled the par-4 15th hole on June 18, 2008! His 15-foot chip-in from the fringe followed an awesome 300-plus-yard
tee shot. This was Henry's second eagle of the season. He also eagled the par-5
9th hole on April 30. The highlight of this earlier effort was his tee shot striking a tree on the left side
of the hole, avoiding a watery grave, and ultimately landing in the center of the fairway. His 200-plus yard approach
shot settled pin-high about ten feet to the right of the flagstick.

Congratulations
Two teams tied for first place in our league two-man scramble
on July 2, 2008. Mike Zurawski and Rusty Lorenzen as
well as Mike Flynn and Denis Garcia survived torrential downpours
and lightning to come in at one over par. With a 92-percent near-capacity attendance for the round, our
league maintained its decades-long streak of golfing in any and all kinds of weather, once again enduring the most challenging of
conditions which included spontaneous fairway rivers, sandtrap ponds and flooded greens.
