BLGA Ladies a.k.a. Queens of the Greens

From left to right: Abby, Jillian, Nicole, and Amanda. Our ladies started on hole 11, right in front of Dave, Marty, Robbie and Tooth. The first eight holes of their round scored a 37 with a 44 on the scorecard front nine. They nabbed a 5 on the tenth hole to finish their first nine with a 42 for a 14 over 86.

BLGA Guys

From left to right: Dave, Robbie, Zach, Earl, Evan, Marty, and Ray (Not pictured: Tooth and Garrett). Our guys showed out this weekend making up two full teams while Garrett played with another. Garrett's group finished their round with a two under 69. Our first full group was made up of Earl, Evan, Ray, and Zach. The boys played a solid front nine at one over, the back nine gave them a bit more trouble as the came in plus five to total a six over 77. Our second group of dudes was Dave, Marty, Robbie, and Tooth. They opened on the tenth hole and didn't see a bogey the whole day. They shot matching five unders on both the front and back to finish with a 10 under 69.

*low gross score

Congratulations Ray on your victory, keep that trophy safe until next year my friend, it was very well earned!

Congratulations Pierce on shooting the lowest gross round of the day!

For those of us that maybe left a few shots on the table or even had our worst rounds of the year, there is still another month left in this season and all of next to get ready to redeem yourself at next year's Open!

We want to thank everyone for taking part in the Inaugural Season of the BLGA- it has been an enormous success so far and we can't wait to watch each of you continue to grow along with the League. Second, big thanks to everyone who participated in the first ever BLGA Open, I think we can all say with confidence that it went very well (barring the accidental deletion of one team's scores on the Google sheet and some math that wasn't proofed until we all left). Third, sorry to Amanda for not proofing the math on site, please accept a sleeve of BLGA Open golf balls for the unintentional pump-fake. 

Last, but most definitely not least, a very huge and special shout out to our very own Zach Solak for not only creating the live scorecard that we all used at Saturday's Major but taking the time to make it look like a true course score card and including groups, tee times, and built in equations to track everyone's scores (both gross AND net); it was an excellent way to watch along and exceptionally done! (pause for applause)

P.S. - Be sure to go check out the photo purge on the BLGA Discord- quite a few Members got quite a few good photos and videos

Check out these two cats repping their League patch during this weekend's rounds. Zach opted to have his sewn to his left sleeve while Dave went for the left chest. Beautifully done, gents. Our compliments to the folks who did the sewing!
