RETIREES PGA CHAMPION  Al Holm lead fro the first day of this year's Retirees PGA and even a sparkling final round by Jim Park wasn't enough to overtake the leader.

May 12 WINNERS & INTERIM RESULTS KP #7 - Rick Brown LP #9 - Rich Dewdney  Check the Retirees bulletin board for the Interim Results - don't forget we count your best 2 rounds - printed version will be posted on the bulletin board. Al  "I play best in a downpour"  Holm  leads after two rounds and will be hard to catch and second place right now is a dog fight with only a few points separating several players. Next week is the final chance for everyone to try and make lots of net birdies and net eagles in order to try and catch our leader. "Take dead aim!"

  WET & WILD We emailed a copy of  today's results sheet (2022 PGA - StablefordMonth-R1) for Round 1 of PGA Month. Heavy rain drove many from the course after 9 holes, so no results for those players show up in this list. Leading after round 1 is Al "I love the rain" Holm who shot a sparkling net 64 in the downpour to score 72 points and a 10 point lead. Click the video to see what the round was like... NOTE: The handicaps I used are for those who turned in a handicap before playing.  No handicap turned in means you are scored as a scratch golfer with a zero handicap - suggest you get your updated handicap turned in (email it). I will not do it for you. STABLEFORD SCORING We will be using Stableford scoring to determine the PGA winner this month using NET scores - Net Double bogey or worse=0pt, Net Bogey=1pt, Net Par=2pts, Net Birdie=6pts, Net Eagle=8pts, Net Double Eagle or better=16pts Today's point totals are on the other list emailed. *** Remember we will only...
