Member Guest ResultsEven with the cancellation of most of the
social events for the Member-Guest, we had a full field and another
fantastic tournament. As in year’s past, the top two teams in each
flight made the Shootout on #10 tee for the alternate shot format.
We had a record amount of teams chip off on each hole to determine
who moved on to the next hole. When the dust finally settled, Eric
Schoppmeyer & his guest Kyle Bock beat Andrew Miller & Mike
Trapani in a chip off on #18 to win the 2020 Member-Guest. Thank
you to all who participated in the tournament again this year!

Superintendent News October 2020
It seems Summer is finally over. What a great year for growing
too much grass!! We had a 2-week delay on the over-seeding of the
Driving Range tee. We applied the seed on Monday, September 29. We
feel confident that we will see germination in 7-10 days. Once that
happens, we will cut back on the amount of water we apply, let the
tee dry, and mow it to prepare for opening. I ask during this time
we are waiting for the tee to open, please do not hit off the
grass, even with drivers. The new mats have a slot for a tee and it
works very well.
We are raising the mowing heights of the greens to get ready for
winter. Once it begins to cool off consistently, we will begin to
see the greens speed up. Hole #17 green has areas of the green that
is still scarred from the verticutting, we are applying liquid
fertilizer to the areas twice per week to help continue to fill in
these areas before winter. Last, but not least, the leaves!! They
are coming, and we will be blowing and vacuuming them every
day.
Any questions, please stop and ask,
Chris Purvis

Several members and staff infected with COVD19 - Decisive Action
to protect membership:Over the past 4 months three staff and three
members have reported positive tests and mild illness related to
COVD19 infection. Each has taken rapid personal action to
quarantine and report their illness. Their taking personal
responsibility, letting us know about their condition allows the
rest of us to protect ourselves. Without a vaccine to provide
immunity, self-reporting and contact tracing is essential to stop
the spread. Their actions are to be commended. Remember, wearing
masks and practicing social distancing at this point, and for many
months to come is the only way to protect ourselves. Since the
onset of the COVD19 Pandemic, we have requested if you are sick,
stay home. If you may have contracted the virus, please let us
know.
Ringer Tournament – September 2 and 3:This unique tournament was
played over two days. Posting hole by hole gross and net score on
the first day on the second day each player had a chance to improve
the first day score on each hole. Congratulations to the winner
Barry Lakas and runner-up Paul White. Complete results appear in
this Berkeley Bulletin for October.
Match Play: Berkeley wins final regular season match at Polo -
We make the playoffs:Match Play Captain Barry Lakas reported
“Results are finally in for our Sept. 16 match at Polo CC. I am
happy to report that we took 9.5 points while Polo took 8.5. We
disputed the original score following the match which was Polo 13
Berkeley 5. However, after the match we discovered that Polo used
erroneous and highly inflated handicaps for their players in lines
B and C. The match results were protested. After extended
investigation and review- and with our input - the NASMGA match
play coordinator awarded Berkeley an additional 4.5 points due to
the inflated Polo handicaps. Notable matches on Sept .16 were Ed
Odmark and Paul Spofford taking two points with Jim Andersen and
Hugh McGonagle taking all three of their points.We are currently in
first place in our division. However, second place Fairways of
Canton needs to complete their match with Old Atlanta before we
know if we remain in first or drop to 2nd. Barring any last minute
changes, we will reach the playoffs.
North Atlanta Senior Men’s Golf Association Cancels Tournaments
for 2020 – Play Days Scheduled.All of the 8 scheduled tournaments
for 2020 have been cancelled to comply with government restrictions
related to the COVD19 Pandemic. A number of clubs have offered to
host a limited number of golfers on their course. If you wish to
play in any of these Play Day events, you must be a member of the
Berkeley Senior Men’s Golf Association. Future events include White
Columns CC on Wednesday 10/14 and Big Canoe on Monday 10/26. The
cost and number of players will vary.
