Congratulations, Greg Gillick, on Career Victory #150!

The setting was perfect.  The weather was gorgeous, the back-9 was playing fairly & Team George was having a bad day!  Nobody expected any excitement out of the match up between two middle-of-the-pack teams in G & G Snow Plow (Team 9) and Heyl Farms (Team 7).

But, we got more than excitement; we got history.

With his 49, Greg Gillick became just the 5th player in Coot Brown history to reach the milestone of 150 career victories!  With a league that has featured nearly 100 golfers each season for 27 seasons, that’s quite the accomplishment.

CONGRATULATIONS GREG!

Overall, it was an active night for the Milestone Watch.  Jim Jost got #96 as did the newest member of the Watch, George Ermold.

George’s victory helped his team, Quail Creek (Team 2), squeak 4 points out of the night to maintain their hold on the top spot in the standings.  Their margin, however, is closer than it has been in a couple of weeks; just 7 points ahead of Haegele Nursery (Team 10).

The Good – George Ermold’s eagle on 17.
The Bad – as in GOOD – Ray Gillick’s skin (birdie) on 18.
The Ugly – The Bull Sh!t was flying with the Lake tournament coming up!

QUICK HITS:

• Great shootin’ – Brad Garlich – evan-par-36!
• Jim Jost had the low-net-score on the night with 29 (43).
• Joe Sonderman still has the best record in the league at 6-0-1 (1.000).
• Ed Williams now has sole possession of the “Sey Tuff Guy” Award through 15 weeks at 1-6-1 (.143)
• John Davis, Bob Twitchell & Mike Wamser still have the most improved handicaps through 15 weeks at -2.
• John Daivs & Bob Twichell got the closest-to-the-pin honors on the night.

The feature match-up of the week for Week 16 will be the tilt between C.E.S. (Team 4) & Haegele Nursery (Team 10).  Haegele Nursery has a 3-point lead over C.E.S. for 2nd place.  A sweep for either team could really make things interesting for the last couple weeks of the second half!
