It was another good year for golf in 2010. Some leagues were hindered by rainouts or holidays (our Monday league finished the week after the golf banquet) and our Thursday league finished a week before. Many special thanks to: Diana Spencer, Jimmy Graves and Deb Emery (the league managers at our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night leagues). Without the work they do, we wouldn’t have leagues on those three days.
Our league banquet was held at the Bel Air Banquet Hall. It was lots of fun. We even gave away free drink tickets, but I didn’t get many pictures this year (the camera somehow broke after someone took a picture of me at the podium).
The biggest news this year: There were three “hole-in-one” winners at LaVista Falls.
Jim Graver (not Graves), Diana Spencer and Larry Tjaden each scored an ace at the same golf course. That makes me want to join that league next year (sometimes I get that urge to buy drinks for everyone). Congratulations!
A new group was also formed: the 11 and over club. This group is for golfers that counted all their strokes and unfortunately scored more than 10 (and wrote the real score on the card). These members will not have their names mentioned again. The embarrassment of being recognized at the banquet was recognition enough, I should know.
If you have any suggestions for next year - something you think would make your league more fun or something that bothers you that needs to be looked at - I’m willing to hear what you have to say (just as long as it doesn’t involve changing the USGA rules of golf).
The league winners are listed below:
Sunset Valley League (Monday): 1st Place: Tracy Shutt, Greg Carlberg, John Carlson & Therese Jansen. 2nd Place: Mike Reece, Kent Blobaum, Deb Bylund & Linda Bradbury. 3rd Place: Ron Distransky, Kevin Wills, Wendy Cramer & Tom Vinton.
LaVista Falls League (Tuesday): 1st Place: Linda Svatora. 2nd Place: Rick Whitesides. 3rd Place: Pat Martionson. (Individual teams that played against the course)
Shoreline League (Wednesday): 1st Place: Zach McIntyre, Fred Longberg & Kelley Rosburg. 2nd Place: Ryan Schmitz, Mary Wees, Spencer Jacobs. 3rd Place: Steve Heinz, Gene Hug & Jim Sides who tied with Joyce Stoural, Russ Hans & El Siebert..
Westwood Heights League (Thursday): 1st Place: Jack Wright 2nd Place: Diana Spencer & 3rd Place: Jane Pruch. (Individual teams that played against the course)
Elmwood League (Friday): 1st Place: Larry Tjaden, Kent Blobaum, Michele Stultz, Mike McClain, Cathi Alexander, Diana Spencer, Susan Bertrand & Jean Mahoney.

3rd Place: Tom Andrews, Kathy Thornton, Dick Uran, Bob Arthaloney, Sandy Murnan, Marlys Oestreich, Leanne Hawkins & Deb Emery.
A special thanks to all the golfers that return each year to play in the leagues. It makes all the work worth while by seeing those that return. Many of the league golfers have been members for 10, 20 or 30 years.
