Congratulations to Maple Grove for winning the first team competition
Individually the winner was
Jim Solheim 82
Darin Parkenson 84
John Seaman 85
Dana Oelkers 86
Although the temperature was in the 90's the nice breeze kept it comfortable.
The guys all had a good time.
Jim Solheim a who's wife is from the Anoka ward has been playing in the tournament for years, and has finished second several times, somehow he eliminated his famous big hook, and the tournament was in drought and close.
On the 200 yard par 3 17th into a strong wind Jim put his drive to within 3 feet, then drained the birdie putt.
so congrats to all who played and a big thanks to bro and Sister Seaman for donating prizes.

2015 SAMS LDS golf tournament rules
2015 SAMS LDS golf tournament rules
Welcome, "I don't care what rules we play by so long as we all play by the same rules." Ben Franklin
(Or so)
RULE number one! play fast, the last couple four-sums will be pushing darkness.
a) Play "ready golf" if you are ready go ahead and shoot, when you start putting, putt it out, as the other guys are lining up their putts, line yours up at the same time.
b) A couple practice swings are all you need, if that.
As intruduced last year, we again will play the wildly popular "Go for it Golf" which means we will play by all the golf scoring rules except NO PENALTIES, if your drive goes in the water, go to the place it entered the water or out of play, drop your ball and shoot but no penalty. So if your drive hits the Channel 11 building, you can go to where it went out drop your ball and you are shooting 2, or you can re-tee but you are shooting 2 (not 3). If your ball is lost, take a minute to find it than drop another, no penalty, remember rule one play fast.
*since I like doing it and I don't want to break my clubs by driving it into the ground, you can tip your ball on the grass if you want.
HOWEVER: NO Gimmies, and no Mulligans. every shot counts, if you arrogantly try to back hand that putt from 2 inches and miss that shot counts!
Team competiton: Nine hole competition on the front nine.
We will have teams of 4 using the MGBrown format
Which means 1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4-4
Each player plays his own ball and keeps his individual score, (that score will also count simultaneously for the individual competition) But the team score for the first hole will be the players score with the best score. (best ball), the second hole your team score will be the top two scores, third top 3, forth everyone's score, than start over, the 9th hole everyone's score counts.
You need to keep two score cards, one for the team score that we will collect at the turn, the other continues on for the back nine as the individual competition
(We will calculate the teams scores and post it on this blog sight. so check as you go)
SAMS LDS .blogspot.com
Individual competition, Continue on with your scores from the front nine to the back nine, We are still using go for it golf rules for the individual competition.
Valuable Prizes: There will be valuable prizes (all donated) for:
* Team competition winners
* Individual champion
* player with the highest score (worse golfer, highly coveted, it means you have a life)
* player who loses the most balls (prodigal ball rule) if it goes out of play and you find it... that is still a "lost ball". so keep track
skills competition: all on designated holes during your round (all shots must be on the fairway for Longest drive, or on the green for closest to the pin.)
*2 long drive contests
* 2 closest to the pin contests
* 2 longest putt contests
* Finally, the final one putt one putt only for the most valuable prize (seriously valued at nearly $50).
* ONE LAST NEW RULE. KNOCK OUT RULE This will make it possible for even the worse golfers to possibly win.
Any one getting a hole in one (and it has happened in the church tournament by a Bishops wife playing her second round ever.) WINS!
SO when you are done, wait for everyone else to finish, we will calculate winners and hand out prizes than we will have the one final One putt one putt only contest, with a seriously valuable prize (valued at nearly $50)
Good luck, have fun, Remember to keep it moving it gets way dark at 8:15 so we gotta be done with the front 9 by 6:10 or so.
