Well here it is........the last week for the new format of Men's Night at Hidden Lake. In Pool A it’s anyone’s guess what will happen as the top four teams are all within sticking distance of the top prize as first place points this week is a colossal 60 points and fifth place a show up 4 points. Should Swagger come in fifth this week and one of the other top four make first place the line up would shuffle faster than the cards in Las Vegas. The way they’re chirping they believe it to be a slam dunk. This Wednesday’s weather is a forecast that is less than favorable so the scores will be all over the map. It’s going to be very interesting. In Pool B the same is possible as there are teams will within striking distance. Smart Ass may think they are comfortable however an upset is well within realization.

Scoring will be preformed differently than in previous weeks. In the past scores were posted as received with some teams not having results till later in the day. The last day the posting will be done as follows. One score from each team needs to be received before the posting starts. So in other words the first scores you’ll see will be one player from each team. When a score from each team is accumulated for the second posting they will then be posted. This format will continue till we have five (5) scores for each team. At that point posting will be suspended till all players are in from the course and in the patio room to watch live the final results. Should be exciting so see you there or if you can’t make it watch the results unfold from your PC.

Men’s Night Banquet

As most of you are now aware the Closing Banquet will be on SATURDAY October 24^th with Cocktails and Social at 6:00 PM and Dinner at 7:30 PM sharp. As you are also aware your spouse is welcome to attend. The cost for spouse is $35.00 which includes tax and gratuity. This is an excellent value for the dinner that is served up to us from Nick and Janice. When I came up with idea I first asked a sampling of men’s night members and received an overwhelming POSITIVE response with only one person who did not like the idea. Since the announcement I’ve received only two additional not in favor responses and a great many “Good Idea” comments. We’ll go with the majority and see how it goes. I did have one concern that it would be too rowdy for the ladies. I can’t imagine any of our member’s who would conduct themselves in less than a gentleman’s’ manner however we do have options in that event so not to worry.

Tickets for member’s can be picked up at the Pro Shop starting Wednesday October 7^th and Tickets for Spouses can be purchased at the Pro Shop also.

As we have a larger group of men’s night members with the addition of a great many of spouses the planning of this event is more difficult. Since Nick and Janice are giving us such a good rate on the dinner it would be unfair to them to cause them undue losses. They need to purchase enough to serve all attending and for obvious reasons will not have a lot left over. If you are planning to mark your calendar and attend then please do however the cut off for tickets for Member’s and ticket’s for Spouses will be October 20^th. Anyone not having a ticket can not get in as only the number of tickets issued will be set up for dinner. All Member’s get a prize and we’ll have people present to pick a prize from the table for you or if your not going to attend then let me know if you wish to designate someone to pick a prize for you. Thank You for your understanding.

TV DRAW

The draw for the TV will take place on the 24^th and you do not have to be present to win. You do need to have the required number of rounds played with is 70% of the rounds played. A ticket will be entered for each round played.
