Late write up. I think I may have finally recovered from Hawk Hollow. Such an amazing course; most definitely in my personal top five. Imagine Whispering Falls all long, but longer, and with elevation changes and O.B. on every hole. Mind numbing golf. I can’t wait to go back. Matt got some plastic in Intermediate, Fred and I had fun.

Sunday tags saw the rare sighting of Number One. And here I thought he had already gone in to hibernation… Will there be another sighting of this elusive creature? Only time will tell… Scores, as transcribed by Nick. Thanks Nick!

On Saturday a few of us trekked to Codorus to compete in the Autumn Open. What started as a drizzly morning ended up as a windblown afternoon. Those of you that have played at Codorus know how that wind can whip around off Lake Marburg. Jay. and crew put on a great tourney, as usual. We all even came home with some plastic!
Thanks to Matt for driving. Thanks to Russ for forgetting his shoes and towels, I know it aided in his demise. And a big thanks to Tim for joining us and carrying my bag for me. It was pretty nice having fresh feeling shoulders at the end of the day.

A small group gathered for what turned out to be a beautiful day to be in the woods throwing plastic at metal. A couple solid rounds were put together. Yet another personal best, and a see-saw battle for the lead.

I’d like to put Thom in the spotlight a little bit here. Thom started showing up for tags a little over 4 months ago. I remember his first round, because I thought he’d die. It was over 100 degrees out, and not being familiar with the course Thom hadn’t brought any water for during the round. But he stuck it out, played the entire round, and turned in a score of 120. I gave him a few pointers, advised him to bring water and figured we’d never see him again. Was I ever surprised to not only see Thom back next week, but he bought a tag! And he continued coming every week, and continued dropping his score. Now, some 4 months or so later, he turns in his personal best, and the next two weeks he scores even better. It’s encouraging to me to see players joining the group and coming back and improving their score rather than being discouraged and frustrated. Thom is the perfect example that you don’t have to throw 400ft to play Whispering Falls, you just have to be determined to finish.

Boger had me by two strokes at the turn. We both bogey 10, par 11 and drop in par 12. My drive on 13 makes the turn and ends up pin high, 50ft right. Thom says “I’m pretty happy with a drive at the crest of the hill.” Boger hits F(irst) A(vailable) T(ree) and kicks left in to no man’s land. Thumber gets caught up, escape layup and drop in 4 to my 3.
My drive on 14 misses the alley short, but I have a small window for a flippy forehand approach, lands 12ft away for a 3. Boger lands almost perfect in line with the sneaky alley, but his floaty approach gets caught in the weeds. His birdie putt looks like an instant replay from last week, line drive right in to the side of the cage. Drop in 4.
On 15 I hit my small gap, but catch a tree further down. Easy layup for 3. Boger hits FAT again and kicks right. He has a line for a high forehand appraoch but manages to get caught up by the smallest twig on the fairway. Smart layup to insure a drop in 4. Going in to 16 now I am leading by 1. My plan is to play it safe, short drive in to the open. My execution is another story and I end up left and throwing a spike hyzer to get back to the fairway. Approach and putt for my 4. Boger has a so so drive right around the gas pipe, his spike approach however is spot on. Drop in 3. Tied again. Boger drives first on 17, pulls it hard right and misses the second mando. From the drop he makes it safely across. His thumber approach drifted too far left and he’s left with a 50footer for 5. Comeback for 6. My drive hits the foliage at the left of the OB and somehow manages to squeak through and land safe. My approach hits the pines on the right side, leaving me 80ft out. Approach and putt for a drop in 4. I’m leading by 2 going in to 18. Boger hulks his driving in an ace effort but the headwind has other ides. Wide right, nice approach, drop in 3. My drive is knocked down short and left, straight up and down for drop in 3 as well.

Corey had a solid back 9, with a few shaved strokes on the front he would have been in the hunt.

Play your round, exchange tags, and send me the scores. I will then add the round to our database for tracking. If you can’t make it on Sunday but want to play on Saturday taht’s great. Post up what time you want to play and make it happen. I am unable to make it out to play anytime other than Sunday afternoons. I’ll be there at 1:30 every week.

Codorus Autumn Open, PDGA C-tier, October 10th. Matt, Russ and I are going. It’ll be a good time, and is a great tourney to attend. If you need any info, let me know.

See ya on the course!

See you next week.

The 2nd Annual Whispering Falls Harvest was a success! We had a slim crowd of 48, due largely to the forecast of rain I believe, but those that showed were met with some sweet tourney plastic, a scrumptious lunch and two rounds on the best looking Falls I’ve seen since her inception. We started of with a Proclamation presented to the club by the Township Board of Supervisors. They see what we’ve done and continue to do and they appreciate and applaud our efforts.

A couple thank yous first.
Our sponsors: some of the most generous we’ve had to date. Please take a minute and check out the links on the main page, drop them an email, give them a call, let them know you appreciate their support.
My Wife, Cari: She puts up with my plastic obsession and all the behind the scenes work, all with a smile on her face. I love you.
Russell Johnston: Anything I didn’t do in preparation, Russ did it, and then some. Website updates, course work, bench building, scorecards, sponsorships, etc. etc. It wouldn’t have happened without Russ.
Russ’ Wife, Lindsey: Thanks for letting Russ come out to play with me. Sorry I’ve become the other woman…
Mom Lescalleet: Buying supplies and preparing lunch, adding and checking scores and helping with the baby.
Dad Lescalleet: Perpetual course maintenance, lunch help, basket moving, photographer, sounding board and spokesperson. I’m still waiting for you to come out of retirement.
Tim Lescalleet: As much as I’d like to see you play again, your help with check in, scores, payouts and merchandise is invaluable. You are definitely an integral part of this team.
Uncle Clifford: The grill man. I owe you a sixer.
Andy Johnson: Thanks for dealing with me on the artwork. I know I’m a pain, just ask Russ and Cari.
Shooby: Thanks for giving up the end of a relaxing lunch and your 2nd round warm up time to help move baskets.
Codey Huff: He may not know it, but his new title is “Trophy Maker.” The wooden discs were awesome!
Matt Swartz: Thanks for taking care of the tag round, sorry you lost Number 1.
Wild Bill, Matt Swartz, John Cunningham, Nick Krawczak, Fred Hickman, Wayne Trump, Eric Boger, Dick Gogin, Codey Huff, Corey Duesler and The Real Glen Miller: The course looked and played great, and it wouldn’t have happened without your efforts.
Dawn Gogin: I waited all year for that slaw, and you didn’t disappoint! Awesome as usual.

I want to commend all the club members that made it out, it was great having such a good showing of locals present.

Results are up on the PDGA site. A lot of good scores out there!

Division CTP Winners:
Open: Wayne Nordberg
Intermediate: Matt Swartz

Another productive workday, and we’re that much closer to the Harvest. The course might be looking the best it ever has! Fairways are manicured, we have seating on 99% of the holes and torn tee pads have been mended or repaired. There has been such a huge volunteer effort in prepping the course, I know for sure we couldn’t have done half of this without the combined efforts of everyone out there.

As great as she is looking, I still have a little wish list, if anybody finds themselves with an extra hour or two and the willingness to help out…
• 5’s tee pad; pull it up and level the ground a little
• Trim up right side of 6’s fairway
• Trim up left side of 7’s fairway, up towards tee
• 15 pin, weed whack area directly behind drop off
• 16 fairway, trim left side

Russ and I will be out on Friday for a bit of prepping and practicing if anyone wants to come lend a hand.

Amidst all the dust clouds of course work, we still managed to find time to play a tag round. What a round it was, complete with some tag shake ups and break ups, and a brand new Number 1!
