Round 10 - 12/31/17

Great end to session #2 of the Rockapsco league! Layout was Recreation tees (yellow bricks) to all A position baskets at Patapsco. Hot round was a tie between Matt D. and Joseph B. at 46. Joseph had the hot front (22) with Matt staying consistent and scoring 23 on front and back 9. Interestingly 2, 9, 11, and 13 were the only non-bogeys, while 10, 14, and 17 didn't get the birds. Overall winners: 1) Swatso, 2) Matt D, 3) Hawk C. Congrats! PDGA fees paid, and I'll mark the event as complete later tonight.

12/30/17 Round

Plan is still to play today. Like, in the past, if Patapsco is delayed opening, then we will delay at least 30 min past scheduled opening (see 12/16/17 Weather plan post below). Drive safe!

Round 8 12/16/17

Snowy week #8 Rockapsco PDGA league. Matt D. took the hot round (51) playing Red tees to Short baskets at Patapsco. Eight holes were birdied, but nine holes were double bogied or worse. Back nine average was 2.5 strokes over par, and if yours truly didn't three putt half the field, it would have been much lower. Tavis took the hole 12 CTP from Matt by about 6 inches and Swatso took the hole 2 CTP. Next week we are back at Rockburn with everything in the B position. Stats in the pictures section.
