This Week in Golf – 8/31/2021
This week marked the last week of league play, with the championship and consolation matches taking place on
the front nine.
The consolation match was the first off, with George Weigler and John Buscaglia taking on Bill Meehan and Peter
Morlock for the third place prize.  Bill had a birdie on the first hole, but the teams split the hole.  Bill and Peter took
all four points on the second.  After splitting the next two holes, George and John took three points on the fifth hole,
but Bill and Peter took seven of eight points on the sixth and seventh to stretch their lead.  The teams split the last
two holes.  After taking all four points for the net scores, Bill and Peter won by a score of 26-14 to claim third place.
The championship match featured Joe Shea and Steve Palmer against Carl Twomey and Greg Martinez.  Carl and 
Greg took the first hole, but Joe and Steve squared the match by winning the second.  After halving the third, Joe
and Steve took all four points on the fourth.  Carl and Greg took three points on the next hole to narrow the gap. 
The lead remained at two points as the teams split the next two holes.  Joe and Steve extended the lead to four on
the eighth hole.  After the teams split the ninth, it would be left to the net scores to determine if extra holes were
needed.  Joe and Steve ended up taking all four net points to win the league championship by a final score of 24-16.
Carl and Greg would finish in second place.
In the non-playoff matches, there were two players tied for the low net score.  Jim Geary's score of 46 on the front
nine gave him a net score of four under par.  Alan Fraser had a score of 47 on the back nine to match Jim's net
score.  The two will each get a sleeve of balls.
Glenn Davis finished his season with a birdie on the 18th hole.
