POB Members,
I live in West St. Louis County. As I went out this morning to get the newspaper from my driveway, I looked to the east and could see the haze far off on the horizon. “Hmm, it’s still smoking and smoldering,” I said to myself. “Yeah, Tamarack had a real 5-alarm fire on Saturday and they are still trying to put it out !”
In case you didn’t know or hadn’t heard why all those fire engines and emergency vehicles were racing down the highway to Shiloh, Illinois, about 1:00 p.m. last Saturday, it was because Team Lindsey SMOKED Team Springfield in the final round of the POB 2015 President’s Cup. Team Lindsey started the day with a 4-point lead and ended with a 10-point lead. That is the biggest margin of victory in the history of the POB President’s Cup !
Congratulations to the members of Team Lindsey:
Al Lindsey, Rick Kreitner, Jim Pinkston, Frank Reed, Joe Bayne, Ray Howard, Gil Lee, Ron Hopkins, Ted Savage, and Jerry Cole
Proudly reported by former club President Rick Kreitner

Team Springfield has won the last two years, but Team Lindsay is ready to take the Cup away this year.
All members in good financial standing are eligible to compete
Team assignments and the format of play for each of the three Saturdays is attached.
This Saturday we will play it as a two-man scramble. Scoring will be as in match play. Points available for Front, Back, and Total. There is NO skin pot. Use your $7.00 to bet with the team you play against.

On Saturday, May 31st, the first round of the 2014 Presidents’ Cup was played at Grand Marais Golf Course. Team Springfield, the 2013 winner, took an early lead over Team Lindsey. After four matches the score is 10 points vs. 2 points. With two more rounds to be played, there are still many points to be earned.
