I know this looks like the Junior/ Senior event but.....
Team Captain's and Vice Captain's were chosen from similar handicap factor ranges. This year the Captain's were able to select their Team players from within preselected brackets which were based upon the players handicap factors.
The sign up for this year has been outstanding with 164 players committed to play compared to 90 last year. We have 12 Teams this year with 8 of the teams having 14 players on the roster and 4 teams with 13 players. (So if you know someone who would still like to participate then let us know in the Pro Shop).
The lottery for first selection went to Peter Schuch. With the first overall pick he selected Heinz Ludwig. The draft took approximately 40 minutes and it was fun seeing the Captain's strategies in building their Teams. Some were getting text messages at the draft table with suggestions! The Phil Kessel award goes to John Eales! (Your new car oops - I mean Leaf Hat is the Pro Shop!)
Some interesting stats - after the draft was completed the Teams were remarkably balanced. The total team handicap ranged from 153 to 162 and the average team handicap range was from 11.86 to 12.32.
The League starts next week and will run for an 11 week round robin followed by a 3 week playoff.
The player lists are being entered as I write this and will be posted shortly.
