Fox Hollow Men's Golf Club's 45th Anniversary Year
Upcoming Tournaments for July
Fox Hollow Men's Golf Club 2020 President’s Cup
Tournament Date: July 11, 2020
(Registration must be received by 7/06/2020)
First tee time 9:00 AM
Description of Tournament:
This is a stroke play “Four-Ball” competition, 100% of handicap. Two competitors play as partners, each playing his own ball. The lower score of the partners is the score for the hole. You can select a partner or we will assign your partner. Either way this is one of the really fun tournaments of the year. Any team can win since the team reporting the lowest net score taken from the partnership’s card is the winner of the President’s Cup and your names will be added to the President’s Cup plaque. The scores do count for handicap purposes so bring your ‘A’ game! Ties will be resolved by regression from hardest hole.
Cost:
Only greens fees.
Registration:
Please register online no later than July 6, 2020.
If you decide to register, scratch, or change your requests after July 6, please email Joel Gerson

RECAP OF THE FOX HOLLOW AND PINE RIDGE EVENT
On Saturday, June 27th, 51 golfers were greeted by sunny skies and temps in the low 90’s as they battled it out for prize money within 3 separate flights while also accumulating important Fox Hollow Cup points.
In the “A” Flight, Tom Hornbeck fired a Net 67 (76 gross) to capture Low Net honors and earn the $25.00 prize. Jim “Sandbagski” Simanski continued his good play with a Net 69 (76 gross) to capture 2nd Low Net. In the gross division, Mike Curtis shot a solid 70, which included an eagle and birdie on holes 17 and 18, to earn Low Gross and the $25.00 first place prize.
In the “B” Flight, John Wood let everyone know that his game is back in shape by posting a solid Net 68 (82 Gross) and survived a tiebreaker with Torsten Boeker to capture Low Net and earn the $25.00 first prize. Torsten posted Net 68 (81 gross) to earn 2nd Low Net honors. In the gross division, Rob “I miss Fox Hollow” Robideau (Pine Ridge member) shot 79 to capture Low Gross and capture the $25.00 prize.
In the “C” Flight, Jesse Robideau (Pine Ridge Member) carded a net 68 (85 gross) to capture Low Net and collect the $25.00 prize. Larry Allulis posted a Net 71 (91 Gross) to earn 2ND Low Net honors. In the gross division, new member Chad Tipton had the round of the day. He fired an impressive 81 (Net 63) to capture low gross and collect $25.00 in earnings. As a result of Chad’s super round, he also fell victim to the new World Handicap System’s “exceptional round” restrictions. After posting yesterday’s round, Chad’s index dropped from 21.7 to 16.4. Well Done, Chad!
A big thank you to Jay Weinstein (Tournament Director), John Kohler and Tom Hornbeck for their superb efforts in putting together Saturday’s event and ensuring good fun was had by all.
Our next event is the President’s Cup, which is on July 11th. Please visit our website for more details.

FHMGC Match Play Tournament (Round 3)
Round 3 of the 2020 Match Play event was nearly completed on June 6th. John Shinners and Al Danielson had to postpone their match until Friday June 12th.
The first group off settled things fairly quickly as Mike McDonald jumped out to an early lead against Dean Fox. Though Mike attempted to make it close with some poor play on holes 5, 6 and 7; he was able to close out Dean 5 down with 3 holes left. Rob Parent defeated John Kohler, having John down 5 with 4 holes remaining. After that, the matches were very interesting. The next group included Alejandro Britos-Bray against Owen Tucker, and Jim Simanski against Joel Gerson. Both Alejandro and Jim eventually prevailed, each finishing 1 up. The next grouping came off the green at 18 all square. But Kreg Keeney ran into some bunker trouble and lost to Dave Mitchell on the first playoff hole.
But the match of the day goes to Kurt Boren and Tony DeBraccio. Kurt started out up 4, only to give it back. They eventually played 5 extra holes, both making net par on 11, 12, 13 and 14. Kurt eventually prevailed on the 5th playoff hole nearly an hour after all other matches had completed. Rounding out the day, Joe Allulis prevailed over Taylor Fletcher, having a 2 hole advantage walking off the green at 17.
The round of 8 is scheduled to be played concurrently with the Fox Hollow/Pine Ridge interclub tournament on June 27th. I look forward to seeing everyone as this is turning out to be quite an interesting competition, as the “sandbaggers” have been weeded out (save Jim “Sandbagski” Simanski). ��
Match Play Bracket
FOX HOLLOW CUP
THROUGH SUMMER HANDICAP
DEAN FOX IS ON TOP
Kreg Keeney drops to 2nd and Jim Simanski is 3rd. Mike Curtis, Chad Eskildsen, , Rob Parent, Bill Polisky And Rick Shuey round out the top 8. To see full standing click here.
The Fox Hollow Cup is a season long competition where you are awarded points for each tournament you play in based upon your finish. Standings will be posted here after each tournament.
Regular season will end after the away tournament. The top 16 earn the right to receive points during the Fall Handicap. The top 8 after the Fall Handicap may compete in the finals concurrent with the turkey shoot. (Tournament is still open to all whether in the top 16/8 or not. This is a separate competition).
New for 2020- EVERYONE in the top 8 could win regardless of points. Stroke adjustments will be made to give an advantage to the higher finishers but it will still all come down to the last tournament.
