August 26, 2023 (Neshanic Valley M/L)
One DGA group had to play different nines and George won by 2 over Fitz. Fitz was a putting machine on the front but came back to earth on the back. Lots of laughs as usual - we played a "Rinaldi" round, no one in front of us and no one behind us.
August 26, 2023 (Neshanic Valley R/L)
We had 10 players go out on Ridge / Lake (results below) and 3 went out early on Meadow / Lake. The course was in good shape. Greens were soft due to the overnight rain and much of the tall grass off the fairways was cut down. Bob Nowark had a spectacular round winning by 6 strokes with a net 30 on the front 9 and is the only player below par.
August 24, 2023 (Neshanic Valley R/L)
A cloudy and cool day for August - George Canfield catches fire on the back to win by 3 shots over Mike and George "one putt Connors". Dave Perry makes a guest appearance and almost didn't make the back nine due to gout in his elbow - but he hit a good drive on 10 and decided to play on and played well to tie for 2nd on the back. Greens were faster than expected and many first putts rolled 3 or 4 fee by.

In a partners match quarter final, the 5 seed team of Billy and Andrew edged the 4 seed team of Greg and Ed +1, winning both the 17th and 18th holes.
