Peltier & Cowan confirmed their Snapper League leadership and dominance in 2007 by leading their teams to 1st & 2nd place respectively. Peltier did it outright with either the lowest or one of the lowest rounds ever posted in a Snapper Outing Scramble. Nicely done. Although Cowan tied with Wolfenden’s team 2 strokes off the lead, they won 2nd place with a birdie on the 5th handicapped hole tiebreaker.

1st place paid off an 18 hole with cart round of golf at Grand Blanc CC for each team member while 2nd place got a 9 hole round with cart each at that course. (Snapper quickly mumbled some legal mumbo jumbo about terms and condition which apply, etc etc. with stipulations about using them in the next 6 weeks as Grand Blanc CC is in receivership and going to auction 10/31/07, exclaiming: “But hey, I got a pretty good deal on em!”)

The last place Markunas team bellyached about usually getting something for their golfing futility until Snapper reluctantly tossed them a sleeve of balls each.

The reason for the reluctance? With a total of 29 birdies carded by the other 4 teams who each played much better golf than the last place Markunas team who carded only 2 count them 2 under par for the entire round, when the skins were checked, rechecked and checked again, it was clear that there were in fact multiple cuts and only 2 skins this year, one for the 9 under Peltier team and the other, you guessed it the 2 under Markunas team.The $25 skins pot was thereafter equally divided $212 for each skin and $1 for Snapper.

CONGRATS TO 2 time league Champs Cowan/Peltier!

The following 4 teams stood up to the pressure of the final night position round and took care of business: COWAN/PELTIER, CAPE/LAWLESS, GILBERT/HELMKAY & R CARLSON/G CARLSON

NAKED DAVE & CMONEY split their match "11 all" with COLBY/BLEVINS after invoking the COWAN/PELTIER RULE & not showing up at all but sending two guys to play for them.

The following 4 teams wilted under the pressure like spinach salad with hot bacon grease dressing poured on top & dumped their last chance to do anything with their position in the final standings: KACHELSKI/G GROESSER, STEVE MARKUNAS all by himself, M FULGHAM/ELLIS & J CARLSON/METZGER.

Cudos to:
substitute Greg Groesser who appeared 8 times on league this year as a substitute….this is a $208 value not including the greenies and skins he took us for every chance he got.

Steve Markunas for the attendance comeback late in the year appearing one more time than Greg Groesser…. Unlike Greg however this is a $234 deficit to Steve who paid $52/round which is double what the rest of us did.

Mark Blevins who had a near complete change of attendance policy after longtime partner and previously assumed fun companion moved to Arizona. As usual Mark missed the first 2 of 3 weeks and then Gary left and Mark has attended each match since.

Robert Colby, newest Snapper (along with Larry Lambaria) for making Mark wish to attend golf.

Les Helmkay for perfect attendance this year. You would get a red star on your forhead if we passed them out. The closest we had to this was Naked Dave & Bill Cape who each missed only one week.

Wolf/Peltier & Cowan (almost) who each had 50 or more pars for the season. This is almost 10% each of the 555 pars posted by the league when you 3 ought to have only gotten 1/20th of them or 5%. HEY YOU GUYS….QUIT STEALIN OUR PARS.

Everyone who achieved 27.75 pars or better which is the mean or average number in a perfect world (555 pars divided by 20 players = 27.75).

Wolf/Peltier/Markunas/Helmkay/Micha Fulgham/Dave Lawless and Rick Carlson who each had more than the 3.55 mean avg of the 70 league birdies posted.

Chris Carlson for posting the one and only EAGLE BABY of the entire league for the entire season!!!

8/30/2007 AOTD: None awarded.
Honorable mention: Greg Groesser was nominated for showing up on the week of his honeymoon. Having been married last Saturday Greg got the week after off and has golfed every day since. Those hearing Snapper’s nomination not only refused to vote him into the AOTD award but gave him a warm standing ovation nodding with approval at the feat. Micha and Chad were nominated for golfing barefoot most of the round after discovering that the sandals they donned without socks were not cutting it. Mild appreciation was shown but no golf ball for you.
