JR completes his record year for rounds played with 97 nipping Bruce by 1 round - congrats guys - true ironmen. JR wins by 1 over Rick. Low scores all around in the Caliendo as the course was set up shorter than the card or seemed to be.

Bruce nips Dave by one shot and they win all the money on a pleasant December day. Dave stuggles off the tee but manages to score with some stellar follow up shots. Mike has the lowlight of the day with the shortest shot - hitting a tree on 4 on his second shot with the ball going backwards 50 yards and 100 yards across the fairway.
December 23, 2021 (Eagle Ridge)
Mike nips JR by one shot with a hot back nine. Mike also won the Senior Net in the Caliendo on a match of cards - JR finished 4th - losing on a match of cards for third. Bruce has the shot and hole of the day - skipping it off the water on #7 links and then getting up and down for a par 4. Course was difficult with plenty of blind shots and heavily bunkered greens plus the greens were slowwwwww. This is a course we should play in warmer weather - in great shape with 27 holes and plenty of challenge.

Ron Emma was playing so bad through the first 6 holes that he was thinking of DNF (his group started on 4) - decided to stay and promptly drove the par 4 green on number 10 (262 yards) made a greenie and birdie - just missing the eagle. He goes on to win by 1 over Rick and was the only guy who won $. Course is old school - tight holes with lots of trees, bunkers around every green and plenty of blind shots. A lot of defensive puts on the greens. Windy but pleasant in the mid 50s.

Mike and Min tie on a great December weather day - mid 50s with light winds. Mike and Min also took Rick and JR to the shed in the match winning all ways and plus 3 in junk.

When we teed off, it was cool and very foggy ---- range finders weren't working on the front 9. Jay nips Sch by 1 with a net 69. Petro makes a bird on 2 after doubling the first hole and has back to back birdies on the back 9. Ron G is in the cellar but only loses $4 with 2 NE's and a piece of the sandy pot. Bruce has to leave right after the round to catch a 5pm flight to Tampa so he can catch the Bucs game on Sunday. Merry Christmas to the DGA, see you in the spring.
December 9, 2021 (Rumson Country Club)
JR heats up on the back nine and nips Rick and Reese by 1 shot. Rumson played tough as usual and 9 of the greens were aerated making for tough putting from anywhere outside a foot. The wind wasn't as strong as usual but still made for some tough holes into the wind.

Bruce and JR tie with net 70s on a nice December day. Highlight of the day - JR holes out from 90 yards on 16 for an eagle - hit 2 feet from the hole and spun in.

December 2, 2021 (Fiddler's Elbow)
Rick wins by 2 shots over Ron on a great track. They won the nines and every pot. Very tricky greens - below the cup you had a decent chance unless you ran it too far by - if you were above the cup - forget it - on the side - maybe you can lag it up and make the 2 putt. The Winter Tour hasn't played at Fiddler's in quite a while so this was a nice treat and a challenging course especially the back which played 3345 yards.
