Presidio Golf Course Tournament 2011

September 5, 2011 Scotty Mac NCGA, Scores, Tournaments

Not too far from the ritzy neighborhoods of Cow Hollow and the Marina nestled inside the former Army Post turned Park, the Presidio Golf Course is a beautiful gem with great views.

It seems somewhat short looking at the scorecard, but large elevation changes, wind, shady and wet areas; and it’s proximity to the fog belt more than make up for it.  The course is well maintained with plenty of beautiful trees. This was my first time playing and I realized I’ve been missing out.

We had a stroke play tournament August 27th and as predicted during our Poppy Hills event James Poulson broke through. He leaked a little oil down the stretch during the back nine but posted a tidy net 68 to finish first in his flight.  A few skins added to his winnings made for a very profitable day.

Lyle Lowder lives not too far from the Presidio and plays there fairly often, so his low gross 77 and a scorching net 64 to take his net flight shouldn’t be too shocking However, some serious love from the course were major contributors. Three drives in to the trees on the left and one slice to the right on the back nine all ended up returning to reasonable spots for recovery.

Had always heard the complaints about the conditions there, primarily the wet and foggy conditions, but this is a course I will be playing more in the future and hopefully in a tournament.

Santa Teresa Back Nine Went Well

May 6, 2011 Scotty Mac Golf, NCGA, News, Santa Teresa, Scores, Tournaments

2 groups played on a gorgeous Sunday Morning to start the month of May. Course was in fabulous shape and greens were running very fast, but true.  Took us a couple holes to get the speed dialed in.

Competition was fierce with Cisco Lopez, Scott McReynolds, & James Lee each winning a hole to split the pot.

Scott McReynolds, James Poulson, & Gary Grunther each shot net 37 for the back nine, but when you’re playing skins, timing is everything.

The entire group seemed to enjoy playing a quick nine hole match as well as the company.

Jim Lee, James Poulson, and I play the back nine at Santa Teresa on a pretty regular basis.  It’s a very nice course for the price and the back nine is much more interesting and challenging than the front in my humble opinion.

Things tend to get pretty laid back and usually we’re working on our game rather than focusing on competition, so definitely much more intensity than normal.

Overall, everyone seemed to have a good time and it’s something I’ll set up again in the future.

With the long days you have to get pretty early for the back nine, but playing golf late afternoon during twilight or super twilight becomes an option.  We may consider a super twilight at Cinnabar some time and get in one of the fabulous nines they have there.

Bottom line is a great time had by all and we will definitely be doing something this again in the future.

Las Positas Tournament Scores

April 24, 2011 Scotty Mac Golf, Las Positas, Livermore, NCGA, Scores, Tournaments

Nice weather out in Livermore this day.  Just enough cloud cover to keep from getting too hot or too windy. Some solid play considering the amount of rain we’ve endured this winter and the relative rust in our swings.

A very nice day for a Tournament.  Good to see old faces and meet some new ones.

And so without further ado, the winners from the Nor Cal Golf Club stroke play event at Las Positas on Saturday April 23rd.

Closest to the Pin:

Scott McReynolds

Anthony Cannino

Larry Di Girolamo

Chris Heidenreich

Winner of the Ben Hogan (1st) Flight was Anthony Cannino with a net 67.  Anthony was our big money man capturing one of our closest to the pin prizes as well. Stan Gallo took 2nd posting a solid net par 72. A very consistent swing most of the round by Stan but Anthony was just tough to beat this day.

Winner of the Sam Snead (2nd) Flight was Dan Kieninger with a net 68 resulting from a strong finish on the back nine beginning by almost holing out his approach shot on 15 leaving a 2 inch tap in birdie.  Two pars ensued and he kept his composure for a bogey on 18 to bring it home. Cisco Lopez took 2nd place in the Snead flight also shooting under par posting a net 70.

Honorable mention to Dale Shull, one of five players to shoot par or better posting a net 72  Out of the money for the day with the low scores posted by others but solid play that is sure to pay off in the future.
