Blue Rock Springs (west) is a fun place to play at!  No complaints about this location.  Nice and cool, smooth and a bit fast greens, well-kept fairways, good layouts, etc.  Definitely on NCGAD radar for future tournaments!!!

For scoring – NCGAD uses “double par plus one” method.  For example: par 3 – the highest score you should put down on the scorecard is 7 (double par is 6 plus 1 = 7) regardless if your actual score is higher than that.  Keep that in mind when scoring and that’s why some scores are different than expected due to that change.

2 match plays games were held today and both were close.  John Hayes defeated Eric Kunze by the score of 2 and 1 with a chip-in off the green on 17th to win the match outright!  In the other match, Jose Sermeno beat Ron Bye 1 up by winning the 18th hole so both games were close.  We have had 3 match games completed so far and all of them were within 1 or 2 holes at the end.  HC sure works on leveling the playing field.  More match plays coming up in the near future.
