HARVEST SCRAMBLE SECOND DAY RESULTS 11/7/2010

ASGA Club Championships Up Next 10/17-10/18 Granada Golf Club Hot Springs Village

The next event on the Agenda for Our Club is Our entry of Champions From War Memorial Golf Course at the ASGA Club Championship Tournament in Hot Springs at the Granada Golf Club in Hot Springs Village. There will be 36 holes of stroke play Nate Mosley is representing the men's championship and Danny Hill represents the Senior Championship from War Memorial Golf Course.  Following is a Video that gives a flavor of the Golf Course-The Lot they are talking about in the Video has been sold, and look for the huge carp that the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has stocked in the Lake. (Don't suppose they're the "Asian" Carp that is threatening the fish up north).



The Registration Form says that all participants will receive 6 dozen Srixon Golf Balls with their special Mark "i.e. Name." Other tee gifts will be provided. The entry fee paid for by War Memorial Golf Association for Nate and Danny includes carts, and range balls for both days. A practice round is available for a reduced fee.


If anyone is interested in being in the gallery and supporting our team, please give me a call or drop me an email. My cell number is 501-944-3361. My email is ross7910@sbcglobal.net. I'm thinking of driving up there at least on late Sunday.  To keep upto date on the progress of the Tournament be sure to follow the ASGA website- http://www.asga.org/

Presentation of Trophies to Alex Carpenter for winning the 4th of July Championship ALEX CARPENTER BLITZED THE COURSE WITH SCORES OF 64, 60, AND 59 over the Fourth of July week-end. Despite Joey Nichols spectacular eagle on 18, Carpenter sizzled with a 9 under par for the three day total of 183. Joey Nichols played excellent golf, chomping at the bit with a 6 under par 186 was that close to upsetting the champion from last year. We'll have more coverage on this tournament during this week. The Course was in excellent shape and it was challenging. Because the new 14 was changed from a par 4 to a par 3, par was lowered to 64.

Sam McCallister from Bryant, won the Super Senior Championship with a three day total of 209. Stan Lee from Heber Springs, winner of the Senior Championship, shot a 2 under par 190 for the three days, and shot 2 under par for the first and the last day of the tournament. Roger Clement came in second place with a 196. Todd Martin, creamed the competition by winning the Mid-Senior Championship with a one under par for the tournament with a 191. Nate Mosely was the winner of Match Play Championship. Danny Hill finished Second. Tune in the rest of this week with more highlights and shots from the tournament. On a sad note, Jay Lester had to withdraw from the Tournament when his father Bill Lester (1920-2010) died. Our condolences sympothy goes out to Jay and his family. Once again, this report would not have been possible without the contributions of Bob Baker, the Facilities Manager and golfer in residence at the famed War Memorial Golf Course.

This Week's Update On The 14th and 13th Green

Here we are at the end of another week. Its the Memorial Day Week-end and one can just see the sprouts of Grass on the 14th green and the 13th green. There has been some more sodding upto each of the greens. There has been some more top soil poured onto the 14th fairway and some grading, getting ready for sod to be laid onto the fairway. J.B. has been working overtime to keep the greens watered adequately in the 90 degree heat. There will be a lull in the work since there won't be any work done because of the Memorial Day Week-End until Tuesday, June 1, 2010. If you double click on each photo you will be able to see it enlarged.

Week-End Review 14 and 13 War Memorial Golf Course

Here are some pictures of the 14th and 13th green areas showing what has been done this Week. Note the sod in the middle of the mud. Can this be a sign of what is to come? Doesn't seem like the greens are started yet. They are supposed to have plugs of Bermuda Bent Grass Greens. Can't wait! Double click on a picture to make it bigger. Look closely and you may see a golfer practicing on the 18th. Note the patch of sod in the middle of mud. Wonder if this is a sign of things to come this coming week.

City Junior Tournament A Spectacular Success May 23, 2009 War Memorial Golf Course

A siren blast began play for the City Junior Tournament held Saturday at Little Rock's War Memorial Golf Course. 28 boys 14-17 years old; 8 boys 13 years old; 4 boys 12 years old; 16 girls dazzled the course with their long drives and accurate putting. It all began at 9:00A.M. and ended around 2:00P.M. It was finally dry unlike the previously scheduled two day event that had to be postponed due to rain. Some of you might remember that miserable wet day May 2, when we were rained out.

There was a huge turnout and the tournament only lasted for one day. There were a few people who didn't show mainly because of the rescheduling. Once again, the young golfers of today who played in this tournament showed that they will be the great golfers of tomorrow. I was a spotter for the 14th hole. Judge Alan Dushonge said he was going to do it but the last minute I was put there by Bob Baker who put Judge Allan Dishongh somewhere else I guess. Spotting this year was a little different than last year when I worked the 3rd hole with James Thomson. There at least I could see most of the balls as they came toward me. This year, because I was on 14, I relied on Alex Mortier, another volunteer and member of the Association. He made signals to me as if he were on a runway showing me which way to fly my plane except that he was pointing everything towards me where the drives were coming. Believe me when I say it was a pleasure to watch the balls as most of them came close to the green and or past it down by the road. Very few balls went to the right of the green, and at least 6-8 landed on the green. I found about 6 golf balls-and three of them were on on the other side of the road next to the zoo. None of the balls I found were from the tournament however. There was one golf ball inside the tree next to the green!

The young junior golfers ranging in age from 12 to 17 were impressive. Most of the golfers on the 14th hole where I was spotting hit their drive either on the fairway, close to the green, or on the green. A few hit their ball down the slope to the right of the fairway in the woods. . There were grilled hamburgers and fixings, chips, and soft drinks as well as water. There was one golfer who was in the first foursome who had to take his drive over again because I couldn't find his drive. His father thinks that it went down the water drain in the street in back of the green on fairpark. I found four balls, but none of them were his. Hunter Smith with a 63 won the overall Boys City Junior Championship after a three hole playoff to break a tie with two other junior golfers Garth Branstetter and Drew Comer. Summer Roachell with a 71 won first place in the Girls Division with a 71. Katie Webb was a close second with a 72.


Several weeks before golfers never got a chance to play. The play was called due to rain. I've included some pictures from in and around the clubhouse for that day.
