2018 Drive or Duff
Last year Paul Habecker started a Tuesday morning round of golf with club members that would just like to hit the links and not really worry about scores or handicaps. This has continued into the winter months at the new Top Golf in Fishers when the links are not available. The morning event generally ends with lunch at various locations.
If interested be sure to contact Paul at [email protected] on Thursday to reserve your spot the following Tuesday.

As always we adjourned to Nickel Plate for lunch.

Bill R sent in the first 3 pictures and felt the one by the group around the Christmas tree in the lobby would make a great Christmas card! Keith R then sent in the the rest and the following info: Today's duffers braved the weather elements and scored very well. President Ray said in his first game he had been on top. Well where's the picture to back that happening. Nope!, didn't happen. Sorry Ray. The others that did very well was Paul H. with an average of two games over 400. Robert H also had two very good games. Mark was a head in one of their games, while Larry, Howard, and Ron J held their own. John V did well today along with Jim S. While Robert W, worked on his very short game. Guest included, "Photo Bomb" Bill R, and Jimmie D.

Today's scores just like the weather's temp.... very low, but competitive with the duffers. During the games some of the scores were tied until the next swing of the club. Today a score of 100 plus was hard to attain by some of the duffers Even so, still all were just happy to be there.
There were three competing groups:
Pres. Ray, Bob H, Bob W, and Larry were in group one.
Jimmie D, John V, and Howard made up group two.
Tom P, Mark and Steve competed in group three.
A warm up at the Nickle Plate Pub was a welcome site.
Again thanks to Keith for the observations and pictures.

Today's Top Golf saw more rain and soggy conditions. It seams like every week, one of the golfers "smoked" the two foursomes. This week Larry was the top Gun, with Robert and Charlie, well that's a different story. Visitors included Gary C and Keith R. At 11:30, all headed home or to the Nickle Plate for a light lunch.

A bit of a dreary day today at Top Golf. Nonetheless, seven hardy hackers gave it a go. Only one heckler today. Our heckler moved in but Shep and Tom P. joined us for lunch at the Nickel Plate Bar and Grill. Our regular waitress was sad to learn that most of us would not be back next week because we will be in a real golf course.

04/03/2018 Interesting day at Top Golf. Our biggest challenge today was the huge puddles on the “fairway.” We were warm and dry under the heaters. One our biggest groups of the season: 12 golfers and 1 heckler. With this large group our lunch was especially loud at the Nickel Plate. |

Smaller than usual group today but we still had a great time. The snow was gone so it was much easier to follow the ball as it missed the targets. Thanks to Jim for the write-up and pictures of golf balls being hit and Ray for the luncheon afterwards. Good to see Bob out and about again.
