Wildwinds Golf Links
We had a great turnout for the annual 2-Man Scramble event this past Thursday! Thanks to everyone who attended for your participation and good spirits.
Quite a few prizes were awarded at this year’s event. If you’ve not done so already, make sure to pick them up in the pro shop!
This update was a bit delayed, as we announced the flight winners during the annual 2-Man Scramble, held on August 22nd. Congratulations to our ‘League Championship’ Winners!
We dodged a few raindrops this week, but it looks like many of you were able to take a crack at the additional contests. I have to say, after teeing off at 1:20, there were already some pretty strong contenders. It was hard to believe that many of those shots were improved upon as the day went on!
The results for August 8th are attached and available in the League Portal. They’ll also be posted on the board in the pro shop. Don’t forget to claim your prize at the front desk.
The August 15th format will be Low Gross (flighted) format. This will also be an informal League Championship — Something new for this season, borrowing from the Wildwinds Club Championship.
The remainder of the year is as follows:
August 15th — League Championship (Low Gross – Flighted)
August 22nd — 2-Man Scramble (5pm Shotgun Start, Dinner to follow)
August 29th & Onward — Low Net (final league date TBD based on staffing)
Good morning, Gentlemen –
Sorry for the delay this week (again)! I’ve been away since last weekend and am still getting caught up. Hopefully you all enjoyed the long weekend!
The results for August 1st are attached and available in the League Portal. They’ll also be posted on the board in the pro shop. Don’t forget to claim your prize at the front desk.
This week’s format will again be “Low Net,” but in the spirit of the 2024 Paris Olympics, we’ll be adding some additional hole contests to test your skills. Info will be posted on the front desk on Thursday.
Looks like an awesome 2nd half of the week weather-wise. See you then!
Sorry for the delay this week! It’s been busy this weekend … sitting on the beach, etc.
The results for July 25th are attached and available in the League Portal. They’ll also be posted on the board in the pro shop. Don’t forget to claim your prize at the front desk!
This week, we are back to our standard low-net format from the Front-9.
Hit ’em straight!
Hopefully you’re all back up and running after the CrowdStrike outage yesterday … The “Major Championship” format this week posed a challenge for some, and unfortunately, not even a major IT outage could’ve improved the odds out there.
The results for July 18th are attached and available in the League Portal. They’ll also be posted on the board in the pro shop. Don’t forget to claim your prize at the front desk!
Next week, we revisit the “2-Man Best Ball (Random Draw)” format from mid-June. I’ll send a reminder of the format before Thursday.
Enjoy your weekend!
Last week’s contest was a primer for our “League Championship” in August. After collecting scores for the 11th, the group of participants was split into A, B, and C flights based on League handicap. We had 52 players, and thus three flights of approximately 17 golfers.
The results for July 11th will be posted on the board in the pro shop. Don’t forget to claim your prize at the front desk!
This week, we’ll set our sights on Royal Troon. Since most of you won’t be making the trip across the pond, we’re revisiting our Major Championship format. Trever and team will again give us some challenging pin locations, and players will play back one tee box. This should make for a fun week, considering we’re on the front 9, and the black tees are often on a separate deck.
A reminder of this format will be on the front desk on Thursday.
See you then!
This week’s contest was Stableford. As a reminder, points were awarded (based on your net hole score) as follows:
Double Bogey+: 0 Points
Bogey: 1 Point
Par: 2 Points
Birdie: 3 Points
Eagle: 4 Points
Albatross: 5 Points
Our winner, Kevin Shannon, recorded the only net albatross this week – Nice work!
Next week will be a test-run for our “Championship” format — Low Gross (Flighted). Flights will be established after rounds are completed, depending on participation.
Nice rainy start to the long weekend … and the perfect time to get scores sent out!
The weather was much nicer to us on Thursday, and it was good to see just over 50 players this week. For those interested, our first week of play had just over 70% turnout. We’ve been around the 60% mark in recent weeks.
This week’s contest was back to our familiar “Low Net” format. Attached are the results for June 27th. As always, this information will be posted in the pro shop. Winners – claim your prizes in the shop!
On July 4th, we’ll introduce another new format (at least to some of you): Stableford. I’ll send an update sometime next week explaining the rules — don’t worry, nothing complicated on your end.
Enjoy the fireworks, wherever you are this weekend!
Good afternoon, Gentlemen –
It looks like many of you dodged the significant rainfall last Thursday evening. Fortunately, enough of you finished your rounds, thus allowing us to publish weekly winners!
This week was another new format — 2-Man Best Ball (Random Draw). As a reminder, the format was as follows:
1) Play from your “usual” tee.
2) Record your own individual score
3) Two-Man Teams are drawn at random (based on the players who played).
4) Net scores for each hole are used to determine each team’s “best” score.
5) The team with the lowest total is the winner.
Attached are the results for the June 20th contest. As always, this information will be posted in the pro shop, as well as on the Men’s League Portal. Winners – claim your prizes in the pro shop!
This week, we return to our “normal” low-net format. Looking forward to the decreased humidity …
