On Sunday, July 27th, 45 golfers teed it up for "the cause". Thanks to the tournament participants and the extremely generous donations received from members, the event raised $5,865 for the club's scholarship fund. I wish to extend a heartfelt THANK-YOU to everyone who participated in or donated to this year’s fundraising effort. Each year, the club awards scholarships to a Lexington High School golf team member and to qualifying employees and competitive junior golfers of the club.

The Ladies Club Championship was played last weekend. Laura Wilczewski played some of her best golf of the season, shooting rounds of 82-85=167 to take her 14th Club Championship title.
After round 1, the duo of Jack Pawloski and Tommy Benjes found themselves atop of the leaderboard. They put together a superb round of 61 (-10). That was good for a 2-shot advantage over the team of Bill McAlduff and Tim McDonough (63), and 3 ahead of the former winning father-and-son duo of Joel and Matt Taves (64). There were also another 4 teams within striking distance at 66 or better. Take a look at our newsletter to read more: https://online.retailtribe.com/Client/OnlineEditor/EMV.aspx?n=7003747&r=3526

Due to the extreme heat this week, the Ladies Member-Member was shortened to 9 holes. The only thing hotter than the temp on Tuesday was the play of Deb Fisher and Betsy Reynolds, as they combined for a best ball of 32 (-4) and the win. Finishing runner-up with a score of 35 (-1) was the team of Chris Scott and Lorraine Gryp.

Some call it “ding and donging”. Some call it “ham and egging”. But whatever you call it, no team did it better in the Father’s Day Pro-Am than the team of Lex and Orion Tzannes, and Henry and JJ Liu.
Mel Carreras was a wire-to-wire winner in the 55–64yrs group. Mel opened with a 70 (-1), taking a one-stroke lead over Steve Champagne, and a two-shot margin over Peter Donovan into the second round. But when Mel shot 68 in round 2 (the best score of the day by 3 strokes!), his final total of 138 (-4) gave him a whopping 9-stroke margin of victory over a trio of players. Steve Champagne (71-76), Steve Christo (76-71), and Henry Liu (75-72) all tied for 2nd at 147 (+5).

All first-round matches have been completed. In the upper bracket, Jim Magliozzi and Mark Bianco defeated Matt Hart and Bernie Doherty 3&2. The other match in the upper bracket pitted the defending Champions, Jack Pawloski and Tommy Benjes, against the veteran team of Dave Riley and Steve Potter. The back-and-forth match was a dogfight. In the end, two back 9 birdies on the par 3’s by Tommy were the difference. Deuces on the 14th and the 17th holes allowed the defending champions to hold off the challenge, winning the match 2&1.
