Aviara Presidents Day Results and the Players Cup Update

Presidents Day Event at Aviara Golf Club

There were a lot of comments about the greens at Aviara. They were slower than normal and many found themselves giving the hole a bit too much respect and not getting the ball anywhere near it. Then, by the time late afternoon rolled around, some (only some) seemed to be rolling faster; the ball definitely got to the hole, but if it didn't go in, well...it just kept going! Combine the speed issues with the undulations and it was quite challenging.

The course itself was in great shape; fairways were definitely rolling hard and fast. There were some tight lies out there at times!

And a thank you to Stacey Hayashi for putting it all together for us.

Game of the day: We had 47 members playing a fun Team Presidents Game in which Holes 1-3, the team score was 2 Best Net, 1 Best Gross; Holes 4-6 was 3 Best Net; Holes 7-9 was 3 Best Net and 1 Best Gross; Holes 10-12 was 2 Best Net; Holes 13-15 was 3 Best Net and 1 Best Gross; and Holes 16-18 was 2 Best Net. This format allows everyone to play her own ball the entire round.

Players Cup Update after New Years Day at Steele Canyon and

Superbowl at RBI Events

The following summaries are for the first, three events of our 2023 season. We've already provided the results from The Crossings separately. The charts below provide details from the RBI Superbowl and New Years Day at Steele events while the Gross Division and Net Division rankings are cumulative through all three events.

GROSS DIVISION: Kim Greco's win of Low Gross at Steele Canyon with a 79 vaulted her to the top of the Low Gross Division leaderboard while Bethany Selan, with her Low Gross win at RBI and 3rd place finish at Steele Canyon put her on the Leaderboard, tied for 2nd with Nan Circo. Cindy Mason held steady in 4th place.

NET DIVISION: This is a great week for Kim Greco who is also sitting at the top of the Net leaderboard by also winning Low Net at Steele Canyon with her 79! And making her appearance on the leaderboard in 2nd place we've got Jax Jacquez with her solid win of a Low Net win of 69 at RBI. Not far behind Jax is Chris Shorkey with a great day at both Steele Canyon (coming in 2nd) and at RBI, the event in which she is event Captain, shooting a solid round taking 3rd place low net.

The year is still young, with only 4 events having been played at this time. Aviara results, not included here, will come out shortly.

There is still time for players interested in participating in either the Low Net or Low Gross, or both divisions. Cut-off for registration will be next Tuesday, 2/28/23. This allows anyone joining now to have plenty of events/opportunities to earn some points.

As you can see, the top of the leaderboard is a bit congested. There is no one clear runaway winner in either division. Plenty of time to vault yourself to the top by entering into some events.

So, if you are interested, please join. The next event will be Arrowood on March 12th.
