Well we got an old fashioned spanking today. we are down 30 - 6 to Keller. Congrats to all who earned any points. 6 groups were shut out out completely. Next round is Aug 1 at Fox. Although winning the overall match is extremely unlikely we need to defend home territory and see if we can at least beat them at home. Obviously we need all of our best golfers to play. I will not be offended if we have such a good turnout that I am not on the team. Please let me know if you are available on Aug 1. I will be pursuing non responders after handicaps come out on July 15th. 
 
This feels kind of like being the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East. We are in the major leagues but it may not look like it sometimes.

Our 24 man team defeated Bunker Hills today 21.5 to 14.5 to move on to the next round, likely against Keller on July 11.

Our 16 man team gave a valiant effort playing against Sundance's best golfers and only lost 13.5 to 10.5. Next round is july 11 at Pebble creek.

Likely cut for 24 man team will be about an index of 4.0. Anyone interested in playing  on either team please let me know.  We always want to field our best teams possible.

Our 24 man team is down 2 points after playing at Bunker today 19-17. We will play them at home on june 6 with a realistic chance to move on to the 2nd round.

The 16 man team was beaten by Columbia 18-6 at Fox hollow today. Next match is June 6 at Sundance.

Both teams will benefit by greater participation by our lower handicap golfers. anyone with a handicap less than 8 and any interest in playing please contact.
Joe Sicora.


24/16 Man Team
We have 2 teams competing this year in the MPGA team match play events. Our 24 man team moved up to class A and is competing at Bunker Hills on May 2. We will be home on June 6. We will only move on if we win that match.

Our 16 man team will be competing in the Northwest division of the 16 man team league. The 16 man team is guaranteed to compete thru the summer in a round robin format. First match is at home on May 2 against Columbia.

The format is the same in both leagues, 2 man better ball with no handicaps. 1 point awarded for the front nine, 1 for the back 9 and 1 for the 18.  We will attempt to field the best team possible in the 24 man team by taking the lowest handicap players available. The 16 man team will consist roughly of the next best players with a higher priority on people I know are interested in playing. The one caveat is that once someone has competed on this years 24 man team they will not be eligible to play for the 16 man team in subsequent events during this season. Handicap index for 24 man team has typically gone up to about 4 or 5 in past years. If you have any interest in playing on either team please contact Joe Sicora. for more information please see the MPGA website.

What a comeback!! We beat Elk River at home today 28.5 to 7.5. Best team performance I have seen. No teams were swept and 9 of 12 won at least 2 points. We will be playing the Chaska Town Course on July 12 at home. We will be away on Aug 2. We lost a very close match with Chaska last year and I think with a good turnout we can prevail.

We are down 22.5 to 13.5 after todays fiasco, but the beer was good. we need a big comeback on June 7 at home. Those of you who are less than 4 on the handicap scale and don't anticipate going above 6 please let me know if you will be available on the 7th. those of you who are bubble boys I appreciate your patience and willingness to play. We need are best team possible to make up the points.

Hi everybody. I know its early and not many of you are thinking about golf yet, but I have nothing else in my life to do. The MPGA had their annual winter board meeting this morning at which the pairings for 24 man team come out. We are once again in class A. Some teams have moved up and down so at least the first round we will have new opponents: Elk River. They have moved down from AA and should be excellent competition. Richard Walker has consented or been coerced to be assistant captain this year. The dates for the first round which I would like everyone to save are May 3 and June 7. The consolation bracket has been eliminated this year, so we don't want to be "one and done". As always we will be looking for the 12 best 2-man teams we can put together. I hope all of our low handicap players will be returning this year and please invite all of your scratch golfer friends to join the mens club. If you have not previously participated and have an interest, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Well boys, here it is. Final match of 2008. Lets go out with a bang. We have been deserted by a number of our regulars. It gives some new people a chance to step up to the plate. As always there will be a $10 team skins game. I will need to leave immediately following my round. Dave Sack has graciously agreed to stick around and collect money and record the results. Please keep a card with your team best ball to turn in to Dave. We are down 3 points to Hiawatha, but we do have home field advantage. Play well.

Thanks to everyone who played today. We are only down 3 points to Hiawatha with a return match at Fox on sept. 28. We will need a good turnout to beat them for the consolation championship.( I think it would be a perfect weekend for college students to make a trip home and play some golf). The weather mostly cooperated, but the course played a little long. There were 5 skins: Jacobson -horvath 3 on 18, kostelecky -sicora 3 on 5 and 4 on 7, Halstrom -walker 3on 9and Cargill -Ferber a 3 on1. If you did not get your money, I will leave it in the pro shop.

September 4, 2008
We are at Hiawatha on Sunday. We will be back at home on sep. 28. This is the consolation championship. We are missing our college contingent plus a few others.

As usual we will have a skins game($10/team), please keep a card with your bestball score as well. I will be collecting when you come in unless you want to pay me ahead of time. Please confirm that you have received this e-mail and that you will be in attendance on Sunday.

Well boys, This is a first. Monticello literally can only come up with 2 players who are willing to come and take us on. Their captain is ashamed and apologizes. He is going to come and play on our fine course, but the match has been conceded and we are moving on to the next round on sep. 7. 

July 13, 2008
 Thanks to everyone who played today. We are ahead 24 -12. Monticello was missing several of their better players and I'm sure will be coming at us hard on aug 3 at home. Everyone whose handicap starts with a 3 or lower please keep aug 3 open. As usual the lowest 20 handicaps who are available will be playing plus 4 captains choices.  
Joe Sicora


July 10, 2008

Once again thanks to everyone who played today. Special thanks to Dave Sack who as first alternate kept his schedule free in case of someone pulling up lame. We played well, fighting to an 18-18 tie at Chaska. Unfortunately we were down 3 going in and are now in the consolation bracket. Only 2 teams had sweeps, Kostelecky - Erickson and Vue - Halstrom, and 5 teams got shut out ( we won't name names in order to protect the innocent). Our next match will be July 13 most likely at Majestic Oaks, please keep your schedules free. we don't want to get beat and have to move down a bracket. As usual the final few spots will be determined by the most current handicap list in the week prior to july 13.

May 30, 2008
Hi Everybody, Sorry for the delay. Here is the final (unless it changes) line up for Sunday at Chaska. Please recall that we are down 3 points and missing a couple people, So grind out every 1/2 point. We do have a couple more new people playing who have played for other clubs in the past and are total studs( Mr. Walker and Mr. Lapoint have guaranteed 3 points). We need our young college golfers to get us off to a good start Mr. Dunham and Mr. Mann). I will be playing early, if you don't get your $10 team skins money to me ahead of time be prepared to pay when you come in. Good Luck and play well. Joe Sicora

Thanks to everyone who played today. Unfortunately we are down 3 points after the first round. We will be playing June 1 at Chaska town course. We will need all of our best players to be available in order to make up the deficit. Those of you who are always on the team please let me know if you can't play. Those last few spots will be based on May 23 handicaps. Excellent debut's for 2 new members, Ray Serie and Kelvin Vue who both were part of 3 point sweeps.

April 24, 2008
    Its a slow start to the new season but the 24 man team matches are about to get rolling. We are in Class A this year which has been shrunk to 8 teams. New this year is a consolation bracket, so we are guaranteed to be playing thru august. Our first match is with Chaska Town course on may 4 at home and on June 1 at Chaska. As in past years we are looking to field our best golfers. The cut last year typically fell around an index of 4.0. The lowest 20 handicaps who are available are guaranteed a spot, with the last 4 spots filled either by request from our best players or by "captains choice" . If there are any new Men's Club members, or old members who have not typically played but are now interested please let me know. Any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
