Senior Summer League - Round 1

June 6, 2024

Round 1 of the Tilden Senior Summer League (SSL) is now complete! It was a glorious mild and sunny day at our beautiful home course.  There were 45 players in the field, the largest yet in recent memory.  Hope everyone that played had fun, made new friends, caught up with old friends, and enjoyed the competition.  And boy, was the competition fierce!  Thirteen players within two strokes of the low net score! Since no one ran away with the tournament this round, Rounds 2 and 3 should be very interesting.  This is still anyone's tournament to win.

The Highlights:

Three players (Mike Armstrong, Mel Varsovia, and Gary Palmer) tied for low net with a net score of 70.  They will each receive $25 Tilden cash.  

Tied for fourth place were four players -- Mark Cisneros, John Gonzales, James Shawn, and Marianne Cernac.  They will each receive $10 Tilden cash.

Mike Armstrong also had low gross for the round with a gross score of 80 and will receive an additional $10 Tilden cash.

Congrats to the winners of Round 1, SSL!

Rounds 2 and 3 are currently scheduled to be played on July 11 and August 29, respectively.  Sign-up invitations will arrive in your inbox approximately 2 weeks before the rounds begin.  All members are still qualified to still sign up for Rounds 2 and 3 even if you did not play in Round 1.

Below is a spreadsheet of the full Leaderboard with the complete stats:

Spring Scramble – May 16, 2024

It was a coldish day with not much sun, but there were lots of good, warm feelings on the teams, lots of things to be thankful for, including just being out playing!  Every team broke net par and there were only 13(net) strokes separating the entire field of 12 teams.  So all played well!  Maybe because of the cold, all the rounds were played in just over four hours.  Kudos to everyone for this too!

Thank all of you who played in this Scramble for a great day!  Reminder: There is a Fall Mixed Scramble run by Touchstone scheduled for October 17.  We are all invited to participate and it has traditionally been a super-fun event.  

Attached just below the photo's are the final results of the tournament.  The team of Smith, Cernac, Gonzales, and Green took first place with a net 55!  Second place was shared by the teams of Charles, Armstrong, Webb, Brown and Morgan, Frank, Bagg, Martin, with a net 57.  Congratulations!

Senior Winter League - 2024

 Al SWL-2 Results

The weather and course conditions for Round 2 were spectacularly different from those "endured" in the blustery rain and soggy ground during Round 1.   Blue skies, warm temps and an almost-dry course.  Here are the Round 2 winners:

1. John Gonzales, net 65     $40

    plus low gross of 79 for    $10

2. Jim Diederich, net 69       $30

3. Jean Huricane, net 70      $20

     Grant Whiting, net 70      $20

The overall Winter League leaderboard after round 2 is posted below the photos.  You can 'derive' Round 2 only results by examining the R2 column.  Note: ALL players are TPSGC members.  The club noted in the report is where each player chooses to keep their handicap with NCGA/USGA.
