Men’s Night 10/15 + 10/16 — 1-or-2-Man Scramble All Red Tees Front 9
For some excitement last week, we played our 1-or-2-Man Scramble format from the red tees on the Front 9. And to take the excitement to a maximum, we ended up with a three-way tie among the top three players in this year’s Points Chase. With all three coming in with net 31s, we’re truly in store for an epic finish to the Chase this season. Well played to Chuck Roster, Leo Goff, and Jim Sussmann on scrambling to a shared W!
Extended Men’s Night 10/7-10/16 — Tee Ladder Stableford Back 9
Our final Tee Ladder of 2026 wrapped up with some strong scores on the Back 9. Jim Sussmann led the gross leaderboard with 17 Stableford points, while Jim Prendergast, Chuck Roster, and Ed Clarke shared first on the net leaderboard with 17 points apiece. Well played, gents!
Thirteen players hit the Front 9 on Thursday in search of birdies, points, and Men’s Night glory and the leaderboard delivered plenty of great scores! When the final cards were tallied, one player stood above the rest: Mr. Ed Clarke, who fired a stellar gross 34 and piled up 23 net Stableford points to claim the victory. Fantastic playing, Ed!
Men’s Night 9/24 — 1-or-2-Man Scramble on the Back 9
Last Thursday, players could team up or go it alone for a scramble showdown on the Back 9. In the end, one man stood alone atop the leaderboard, firing an impressive net 30. Congratulations to Leo Goff on the Men’s Night win!
Men’s Night 9/24 — 1-or-2-Man Scramble on the Back 9
With the countdown to the Presidents Cup underway, we’re bringing a little team-golf flavor to Men’s Night this week by adding a twist to our scramble format. Competitors may either play solo using the standard 1-Man Scramble format (hitting two shots themselves from each position throughout each hole) or pair up for a traditional 2-Man Scramble (each teammate hits one shot from each position).
1-Man Format: You hit two shots off the tee and choose the best one. From there, you again hit two shots, choose the best, and repeat until the hole is completed.
2-Man Format: Players team up and each teammate hits one shot from every position. Choose the best shot and both players hit from there, continuing until the hole is finished. For 2-Man teams, please mark your scorecard with both players’ names on a single line (e.g. “B. Jones / B. Hogan”) and record your gross scramble score.
Please turn in all completed cards to the Pro Shop with gross scramble scores and names clearly marked. Net scores will be calculated using 50% of each player’s Back 9 course handicap, with 50% of the average handicap used for 2-man teams. Low net score wins!
Club Championship Handicap Posting
We ask that all players post their own scores to GHIN from last weekend’s Club Championship rounds as Competition Scores from whichever tees you competed from. Next week, all tournament postings will be double checked for all players.

Men’s Night 9/16-9/18 Front or Back 9 — Stableford Tally = Chase Points
Last week, as a tune-up for the Club Championship, we expanded Men’s Night to a three-day submission window—Wednesday through Friday—and allowed players to submit one Front 9 score and one Back 9 score. Each player’s higher net Stableford total became their Chase Points total for the week. Below is the complete points breakdown, including some great scores posted by those who came out!
Seventeen players (our best turnout since July!) took the express route around the Back 9 last week in an All Red Tees Stableford. With course conditions continuing to trend in the right direction under new superintendent Steve, it was great to see the Men’s Night field trending up, too. The shorter setup gave everyone the green light to be aggressive and, as always, delivered plenty of fun with strong scoring. When the final points were tallied, Chuck Roster stood alone atop the leaderboard with 19 points. Well played, Chuck!
Fifteen players came out yesterday for a Net & Gross Stroke Play battle on the Front 9, and when all the scores were tallied, an outright winner emerged on each leaderboard. On the gross side, James Hsiao fired an even-par 36 to capture the win. On the net side, Leo Goff made it into the clubhouse at 3-under 33 to take home low-net honors. Well played, gents!
