 EZ Bill becomes the 1st 83 year old member this Sunday

Ryan Samp captured medalist honors with a 79

Seven golfers teed it up at Donovan on Sunday. Ryan Samp took medalist honors with a 79. Tony King shot an 80 and took 1st place in the Stableford. Joe Wenzel was the big money winner placing 2nd and winning closest to the pin cash. Donovan played tough as there were no birdies recorded. The group heads to Kellogg GC after 10 months. The park district has polished up the course and I am hoping for a great turnout this Sunday. EZ Bill turns 83 on Saturday so wish him a Happy Birthday. We have 3 tee times starting at 8 am at Kellogg and we have no openings.

Tee Time responsibility for this Sunday at 6 am at Kellogg is Tony, EZ and Tim

 The 5 Kings at Eagle Ridge

 Frank Bradley, Tony King, Steve McDowell and Superstar Drew Norman

Your 2012 Eagle Ridge Gang

16 golfers traveled to Galena.IL for a 3 day golf extravaganza. The weather was perfect and the golf was outstanding. Numerous hackers cashed in the Stableford and closest to the pin games. We played our 1st team event this year that was won by Team Drew who was sensational on the back nine at the ER North course shooting an actual 37 net 30. Frank Bradley was white hot on the front but cooled on the back and Steve McDowell and Tony King pitched in when needed. The team concept was well received and we plan to continue the event. A trip to the casino was not as lucrative as last year but everyone had a great time..
We have 4 tee time this Sunday at Donovan GC starting at 8:30 am and we have 7 openings. Let me know if you want to play.
