DEB CROWLEY, ONE OF THE BEST GOLFERS IN FLORIDA AND IN STATES OF THE NORTH, WAS ABSENT FOR THIS EVENT, A RARE HAPPENING FOR A HALL OF FAME GOLFER.
SHE WAS INDUCTED FOR THAT SPECIAL HONOR IN A SOLD-OUT GATHERING AT PINE LAKES.
CROWLEY IS ORIGINALLY FROM MASSACHUSETTS BUT NOW SPENDS HER FREE TIME DURING COLD PERIODS IN FLORIDA AT A NEW HAMPSHIRE SITE WHERE SHE ALSO EMERGES AS AN OUTSTANDING GOLF PERFORMER.

BIRDIES ALSO FLEW ALL OVER THE PLACE THANKS TO THE PLAY OF  BRENDA WARD, HOLLY POND, GERRY BELL, ANN STEELE AND JANE STURGIS TWICE - HOLES NUMBER 11 AND 17 -

MATANZAS GOT BACK IN THE PICTURE WHEN ED MCLEAVEY LED THE WAY IN WINNING THE OPENING WHITE FLIGHT WITH STABLEFORD POINTS, NET AT THE HOLE, THE CHALLENGE. 
GORDON PATRICK SWEPT THE REMAINING NUMBERS FOR 2ND PLACE ON A SCORE OF 83-39.  PLEASE NOTE THE FIRST NUMBER, IN THIS CASE THE 83, IS WHAT THE PLAYER ACCOMPLISHED WITH AN OUTSTANDING ROUND OF PLAY ON A TOUGH GOLF COURSE. DAVE KAUFMAN GRABBED 3RD PLACE WHEN HE SCORE AN 86 FOR A NET OF 38.
IN THE ORANGE FLIGHT, DAVE YORK SLAMMED THE HAMMER DOWN WITH A SCORE OF 90 AND A NET OF 40. STEW MANTHEY, A GOLF STAR AT BOTH CYPRESS AND PINE LAKES, SPUN THE WHEEL FOR A ROUND OF 96 WITH A NET OF 37 AND WINNER OF A CARD MATCH.  RUSS BROWN TOOK THE GOLD FLIGHT WITH A NIFTY 95 AND A NET OF 39.  A DETERMINED BERNIE SHERIDAN WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM FOR 2ND BEST, A NET SCORE OF 34.

THE GRAND CLUB NINERS WERE ALSO ON THE MOVE, PLAYING PINE LAKES AND COUNTING THE 5 BEST HOLES.  CANDY SCHMIDT WOTN FLIGHT A WITH A COUNT OF 16 ON A CARD MATCH, NAIDA REYES TAKING 2ND BEST. 
GINNY SCHUBERT WAS ANOTHER SOLID WINNER, SCORE A 16 ON GOOD PLAY AND A CARD MATCH.  NAIDA REYES HUNG IN THERE ALL DAY, HANGING UP A 16 OF HER OWN BUT LOST THE TOP SPOT ON THE SCHMIDT CARD MATCH.
FLIGHT B WENT TO GINNY SCHUBERT WITH A SCORE OF 18 AND ANOTHER CARD MATCH.  BONNIE BRUNSON LOST FIRST PLACE WHEN SHE TIED WITH 16 BUT MISSED OUT FIRST ON THE CARD MATCH.

FINALLY, I WANT RICK MCARDLE TO KNOW THAT WE AND OTHERS ARE STILL APPLAUDING WHEN HE WON THE GRAND HAVEN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP, A SPECIAL EVENT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED SEVERAL TIMES.
MCARDLE IS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET IN YOUR LIFE.  NOT ONLY IS HE AN EXCEPTIONAL PLAYER OF THIS TOUGH GAME, HE LENDS HIS TALENT WHENEVER HE CAN TO HELP THE GOLF TEAMS AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE, WHEN I'M BLESSED TO SEE MCARDLE ON OR OFF THE GRAND HAVEN GOLF COURSE I SIMPLY STAND BACK AND APPLAUD FOR AS LONG AS THE GOOD HANDS WILL ALLOW.
IN MY SOMEWHAT BIASED OPINION, YOU OR I WILL NEVER MEET A BETTER PERSONALITY THAN RICK MCARDLE AND ONE DAY IN LIFE I AND OTHERS WHO ADMIRE AS WE DO WILL HAVE THE SINGULAR HONOR OF WATCHING RICK MCARDLE SLAM THE LITTLE WHITE BALL OR JUST SIT THERE AND TEACH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AS HE DOES.
ALWAYS REMEMBER, GOLF IS A FASCINATING SPORT BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE AND ONLY THAT WE CAN PLAY ON THE LINKS TO THE EDGE OF 90 AND EVEN BEYOND.
REMEMBER THE GOLFER FROM PORTLAND MAINE WHO PLAYED UNTIL HE WAS 99 AND STILL SLAMMED THE GOLF BALL IN THE LOW NINETIES.

AND PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND: PLAYING GOLF AT PINE LAKES OR CYPRESS KNOW IS TWO OF THE PLEASURES IN LIFE.  AS I'VE WRITTEN BEFORE, ANY TWO GOLF COURSES BUILT BY ARNOLD PALMER AND LITTLE BIG MAN GARY PLAYER HAVE PUT A SPECIAL MARK ON THE GRAND CLUB T HAT WILL STAND FOREVER.  GO PLAY THEM AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

FINALLY, AS ONE OF MY VERY CLOSE FRIENDS IN THE NEWSPAPER COLUMN USED TO WRITE AT THE END: "WITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE!"
THANK YOU LEO CLOUTIER, WHEREVER YOU AE.

Golf at Pine Lakes, Grand Reserve, Cypress Knoll & More

THE CYPRESS MEN'S GOLF SSOCIATION IS ONE OF THE BEST TO PLAY THANKS TO JOEL SCHWALB AND OTHER TEAM MEMBERS.  SCHWALB HAS THIS GOLF DAY KICKING ON ALL FOURS AND IT SHOWS WITH THE TALENT WEEK TO WEEK.  FOR EXAMPLE, IN A GAME OF CHICAGO POINTS, THE HIGHLY TALENT HARRY DAVIS WAS OUTSCORED FOR ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES IN HIS CAREER. MICHAEL MANN DID IT WITH A NEAT SCORE OF 77 TO 75.  THE ORANGE FLIGHT ALSO WENT TO THE NOTABLE  ED NAMEN OUTDUELING JAMES MILLER WITH SCORES OF 94.  
THIS IS NOT AN EASY GOLF COURSE IN MANY WAYS.  IN OTHER ASSESSMENTS IT IS TERRIFIC TO PLAY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CONSIST OF AS MANY BUNKERS AS MOST GOLF COURSES HERE OR ELSEWHERE

MATANZAS WOODS, OTHERWISE DENOTED AS CYPRESS KNOLL, ALSO HAD IT'S DAY IN THE SUN.  KAREN JOYCE AND NIDA FARRELL TIED FOR FIRST WITH 73'S, RITA MILLER 2ND ON A 64, JACKIE DACUK THE 3RD PLACE VICTOR WITH A SCORE OF 68 IN THE 3RD FLIGHT AND GERRY CHIARELLO NAILING THE 4TH FLIGHT WITH A 69.

THE GRAND CLUB, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS PINE LAKES AND CYPRESS KNOLL, HAVE BEEN GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
HENRY ANGLE AND MIKE TSOUKLARIS FOR TWO, HAVE THESE GOLF CLUBS ON A ROLL.  THEIR MEMBERSHIP CONTINUES TO GROW WEEK AFTER WEEK.
I'LL NEVER FORGET MEETING UP WITH TWO GOLFERS - MAN AND SPOUSE - FROM MONTREAL.
THEY WERE HELD UP HOLE AFTER HOLE BY MEMBERS OF MY TEAM BUT NEVER ONCE COMPLAINED.  WHEN THE 18-HOLES WERE COMPLETE BY BOTH UNITS I WENT TO THEM AND APOLOGIZED FOR HOLDING THEM UP AS LONG AS WE DID.
THEY WERE ESPECIALLY NICE IN RESPONSE, TELLING ME THAT THEY WERE ON VACATION, HAD PLAYED FOUR GOLF COURSES IN THIS AREA BUT THIS - PINE LAKES - WAS THE BEST OF ALL. THEY ADDED, "WE'LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR AND THIS IS THE GOLF COURSE WE WANT TO PLAY!

IF YOU'RE HEADED TO FLORIDA WITH GOLF CLUBS IN TOW, CALL THE PRO SHOPS AT PINE LAKES, CYPRESS KNOLL AND GRAND RESERVE.  I TRULY FEEL YOU'LL BE WHACKING YOUR WAY ON SOME OF THE BEST PLAYING GOLF COURSES IN FLORIDA.  HEY! ANY COURSE DESIGNED BY ARNOLD PALMER, GARY PLAYER AND JACK NICKLAUS (MATANZAS WOODS) CAN ONLY BE CLASSICS AND THEY ARE.

AND DON'T EVER FORGET THE OFFERINGS TITLED GRAND RESERVE LOCATED OFF ROUTE 1 AND NEAR THE CITY OF BUNNEL.

MIKE PULLEN, HEADING THE MANAGEMENT TEAM, HAS THIS GOLF COURSE IN SPARKING CONDITION DAY IN AND DAY OUT, SO MUCH SO THAT IT CAN BE CALLED A "CLASSIC."

THE MEN PLAY THEIR LEAGUE ON WEDNESDAY, THE WOMEN ON BOTH MONDAY AND FRIDAY.  FOR EXAMPLE, RAE ANN SCHUMACHER HIT HER ALL TIME BEST ON THE BACK 9 IN RECENT LEAGUE PLAY WITH AN 84 BEATING OUT THE TALENTED SHAY HALL.  OTHER WINNERS WERE GERRY DURKIN ND MARGE BAILEY.

THE MEN PLAY THEIR LEAGUE EACH WEDNESDAY AND, AGAIN, HERE IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND EXTREMELY TALENTED GOLFERS TO BEAT OUT WEEK AFTER WEEK.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS COURSE MORE THAN ONCE TO REALIZE JUST  HOW GOOD IT IS AND ESPECIALLY TO PLAY.  CALL BRYAN AT THE PRO SHOP - 386 -313-2966/
