June 29, 2025: Sunday Night FOSC Report – June 29
From the Calendar
With Independence Day landing right on the 4th, and Silver Creek for sale last year, we made this calendar change with Norm (Homer Graduate) very early. We will play our regular, sanctioned round on Thursday , 7/3, which gives us a quick turn-around from Tuesday’s round at Elm Tree. Then we lost Dutch, 7 Oaks, Skenandoa and Newport to bad weather, wet grounds, and a noon starting time. When Rodney could not play Canasawacta, the opportunity became ripe for an upgrade.
So here’s the changes to the schedule.
Silver Creek is now Thursday, 7/3.
Newport is now Friday, 7/25.
And Barker Brook is now Tuesday, 8/26.
This still gives us our normal 2 rounds at Vesper while Canasawacta has been dropped from the schedule. Signups for these rounds will be in the regular way.
Did anyone notice how close the team standings were at Maple Hill ? Then I’ll tell you. The team finishing 3rd and the team finishing 9th were separated by only 10 strokes. I guess we did not lose any drama when trying Bruce’s idea of trying a stroke format.
And for those of you who like closure, Skenandoa’s women’s league can have the Friday spot because we already have a Tuesday in 2026 booked. And for even more closure . . . Norm sold Silver Creek . . . to his nephew.
From Jimmy C’s Big FOSC Chart
Bill Doolittle looks to be on Cruise Control maintaining his lead over Larry Gessini by 40.5 FOS points, who has a lead of 14.5 points over Bob Krol, who has a 30.5 points lead over Duane Brown, who has a 52.5 lead over Freeman., with the top 3 now over the 500-point line. And how tough is this FOSC chart? Last year’s run-away winner (JerGer) is currently 17th this year.
The stationary Commissioner’s Line (43rd place) currently has Kurt as the last person to get a commissionership and Jim K as the first person to not get a commissionership.
The moveable Money Line has Todd Gessini getting the last money envelope and Joe Acey as the first player to not get a money envelope.
From the Clip Boards:
Bob Kroll has been “in the money” 7 times, 1 more than Kevin McClain with 6.
The battle for “Skin King” has tightened up this week with Bob Kroll, Dan Whitney, and Stew with 4 and Joe Stepien, Kenvin McClain, John Schlicht, Tony Dinicola, Tony George, and Bill Doolittle all with 3.
Only 3 players have 2 “Closest to the Pin” shots: Bill Doolittle, Bill Sanford, and Paul Bradbury.
