Golf/ End Of Season Banquet Sept 17th, and summer scramble results

Our golf leagues are nearing the end, though some leagues have been rained out 2, 3, or 4 times and are racing to get finished before the snow falls… I mean before the golf banquet. The last night for the Elmwood league is September 5th, no matter what. I think it overlaps with the first night of bowling. And just so you know: the Golf Banquet is on Wednesday Night, September 17th, at the Bel Air Banquet Hall, 12101 West Center Road (actually 122nd & Gold). Cocktails at 6:30, dinner at 7:00 p.m. RSVP sign-up sheets will be at your last night of league play. The banquet is free to all league golfers; subs and guests pay $20 at the door.

In May, we played at Red Oak CC and what a treat! The Omaha Sports Club has played at Red Oak for 10 years straight and always in August, when the course is dry, but playing in May provided a different, a greener course. I showed up extra early, hit the driving range, and the putting green (something I rarely get to do). Although my team members got lost looking for the golf course, they finally showed up—and early enough to cart up and drive to our starting hole. We enjoyed the best luncheon of the year (so far). Some dart players even showed up (Mark Kiihne's team) to show what they were made of. On a scale of 1–10 (10 being the highest), I rate our Red Oak CC visit an 8.5… See results below:

In June, we made a trip to Oakland GC and once again I must say, what a treat! The course was in great condition (the morning after the Omaha hurricane). On our drive north we saw lots of storm damage and even a Dodge County Trooper. My team was late again (this time, I was with them). The pro did a great job getting everyone organized… We arrived with time to spare with almost four dozen doughnuts thanks to Jack Umbaugh. Our luncheon at Oakland GC was just as good at Red Oak CC (or better). I think the homemade mashed potatoes scored well with the crowd. I rated our Oakland GC visit an 8.5… See results below:

First flight
1st Place: Loren & Pat Galvin, Larry Welch & Marian Wascher (67);
2nd Place: Randy Smith, Marnie Heider, Jerry Boeckman & Joyce     Stoural (69);
