They don’t call me “Pointless” for no reason!…(Bruce Buursma’s new nickname, thinking people call him this due to his golf ball flight direction)…

4). Bruce Buursma has a new nickname. Everyone is calling him… “Pointless”. He believes it has to do with his golf ball flight direction…, but we know differently.

Bob DeVries takes the Longest Drive. He is no stranger to the Long Drives. Nice
shooting Bob! Do I hear drug test?
2). Next week Team shirt color for Team Poel/Kwekel is “White”.
for White”
3). Cal Van Noord Golf Update: He continues to go to St Joe for his personal Golf
Lessons. Rumor has it; he really enjoys golf (or is it the instructor?).
4). An Old Argument has come to light again. Les Lewis busted his old club last
week. He buys a new Driver and his Team knocks VanDyke/Lemkuil out of first
place! FYI (whoever plays this Team), their Handicap is based on his old Driver.
Players beware!!!!!!

he was never in the fairway.

Lewis by winning the hardest handicapped hole Wednesday night. They take the
2nd place spot for the championship! Congratulations!
2). Bill VanderPoorte takes Performance Enhancing Drug Test after numerous

3 out of 4 events, a drug test was administered and the results were negative.

Highlights for the week of 6-23-10:

1).  Congrats to Bill VanderPoorte who won 3 out of the 4 event holes.

That beats Ed Nieuwenhuis’s Record of 2 out of 4.  Nice shooting Bill! (…and he didn’t win the 60 and over Longest Drive).

2).  Speaking of Ed Nieuwenhuis…  he had a chip in off the green for a birdie on #8. What a shot!

3).  Several Teams tied going into the last hole and long putts were made to capture the win.  What good matches this week!

4).  One of the coolest teams (Trap/Baylis)… made a few adjustments and took the “W” this week. Good playing Bill(s).

5).  Devries/Miller Team brought an abruptly end to the VanNoord/VanOss win streak. Was this a fluke or will VanNoord/VanOss team get back on track for another streak? Cal is very serious with his golf couch and will be putting in extra time in the next few weeks!

6).  The CLC Kitty brought in $25 this week.  This will be used for our year end outing.

We received more event prizes!  This is awesome thanks everyone!

7). We have only one week left and the top 2 teams will advance and play the winners of the second half for the championship! It’s still anyone’s call!

See you on the 1^st Tee!

Rick

1). Glen Miller’s “Yes” putter said yes to a 20’ putt.  It went in, then out, then back in for the longest putt on #18.  Wow!

2). Now we know for sure the VanNoord/VanOss Team is on a roll. Congrats on their second win!

(Cal has been getting special instructions from his new friend)

3). Ed Talen is back with us again. Good to have you back to join us again Ed!

4). The Schutt/Buursma the first team that won prizes for both members.  What are the odds?  Any witnesses?

5). Kitty amount this week $30. Thanks everyone!

6). I’m getting a lot of positive feedback on the golf tip of the week. It has improved several golfers’ performance in just a few weeks.

1). We had 5 Teams on the Leader Board last week and now we are down to 2 Teams with 3 weeks left.

(Check the Website for more information).

2). Congrats to VanNoord/VanOss Team who took their first win. Are these guys on a roll?

3). Bob Devries had an Eagle on #9! That’s a 3 on a Long Par 5.  It’s unbelievable!

4). Carlos Siese is back from his TV appearance… He had a hard time staying focus with the paparazzi (and signing autographs) at the course and handed the win to a strategic Smith/Versluis Team.  These guys are good!
