With the beginning of the 2012 Bayview Golf Club tournament season, we will have our friend, "Naggin' Ned", who will always be mindful to shake
his little finger at you to help you remember to submit your sign-up sheets before the deadlines. Early sign-ups help the club to cover costs throughout the year and in some cases headcounts by the deadline are most important.
I would like to thank all of our members and guests who participated in our tournaments this year. Brian and I are working on setting up next year's tournament schedules and will be relating those to you shortly.
Thanks again to everyone for helping make this year one of our best and I look forward to next year and some pretty good competition.
Thanks much! Deborah.
For 2011, the stat page will have the familiar look of 2010, but will incorporate statistics for the club as a whole, individuals, and tournament statistics on how the players played within each tournament.
A few things gleaned from last years final results: Bayview had 17 tournaments in 2011 with a total of 270 rounds played by members. The average net score for all players was a 78.2 net.
We had 19 players come in with low putts for the round. The overall average for the putting game came in at 35.9 putts per, which puts the average but it just under par for the putts. Well done folks. The Bayview 2011 putting title was captured by Andy Finney, where he averaged a mere 32.1 putts per round. He turned in his best effort of the year at Half Moon Bay on August 20th, with a season-low 25 putts.
Joe Zukowski and Ray Wallace tied for the low net of any tournament in 2011. Both players had a net 63, and determining the winner required a five level tiebreaker. Joe came in with the low putting effort on that day with 29. On each green, one half of the surface was healing from being plugged and sanded about two weeks before. So for Joe to manage 29 putts was really something.
Greg Keenan came in with a total of four victories which led the field. There were seven players claiming victory,
In the par three closest to the pin competition, Frances Finney captures the 2012 title by accumulating 10, with an average distance of just under 17 feet. Bob Lyons comes in with the closest shot for the whole year at a mere 11 inches on the sixth hole at Poppy Hills on August 6. The furthest away to capture the closest pin was made by Bob Lyons again, this was at Roddy ranch on April 9, which landed on the green and nestled in to a tidy 30.5 feet.
Dave Fitzgerald repeats his 2010 effort to capture the Bayview Cup for the second year in a row. Bettering his 2010 showing of 181 points, Dave played his way to the record high 213 Bayview Cup points. With 3 wins, 4 second-place finishes and 2 third-place efforts, Dave managed to finish in the top three 65% of the time...and a winning rate of 21%!
Among the women members, Frances Finney captures top honors for the ladies. With two victories and three third-place finishes along with four fourth-place finishes, Frances piled up 157 points, leading the way. She also captures the closest to the pin competition with a total of 10. With her average shot sailing to about 16-1/2 feet. With her closest coming in at 7-1/2 feet on the par 3, 8th hole at Laguna Seca.
With the new year rolling in, the Bayview website is undergoing a facelift for the new year. However, all of your favorite content will be back again this year. Our pictures this year will be presented with a pop over image. Give it a try, just click on the thumbnail of the getaway weekend group from last year and check out the picture that pops up in the middle the screen. Pretty cool I must admit.
[Greg Keenan 6-12-9] Do you have unused putters, irons, or any golf related item that could be donated to the Special Olympics golf program?

I wanted to thank everyone from Bayview who donated clubs to the Special Olympics. An extra special thank you to Craig Shoop and Bob Lyons who donated several full sets of golf clubs.I have been able to put together seven or eight full sets over the last few years as well as many putters for the athletes who participate in the Skills Challenge only.
When an athlete gets his or her own set of clubs they are very excited. Thank you all again for the generosity.
We have our tournament scheduled for Monday August 29th at the Villages Golf and Country Club. Everyone is welcome.
Thanks!

For those of you who may be interested, follow this link to download the Microsoft Word Template for the Bayview Golf Club Fun Cards for printing on standard business card blank stock, 10 to a sheet. These can be printed on your printer so you can hand them out and encourage interest in the Club. Please note, it probably is a good idea to test print the first time on a piece of paper and hold it up to the standard business card blank stock, to assure proper alignment.
Good luck with that!
A Blast From The Past
Before there was a BayviewGC.Com website, all of the information regarding tournaments, results and other related info was distributed in a newsletter called the "Forecaddie", and thanks to Joe Zukowski for providing his archive that spans 15 years from 1991 to 2005.
