Sixty-two players competed in the event which featured a different “challenge” on each hole. Players had to contend with such “challenges” as hitting a tee shot from a stool, playing with clubs of the opposite hand, and two-by-fours set strategically around the hole.<br /><br />The format was a nine-hole, four-person scramble with all players hitting from the Plum tees. This year the weather conditions, with winds gusting to 30 mph, played a part in the outcome.<br /><br />The results:<br /><br />1st – John & Jan Murphy and Bill & Sue Hart (29)<br />2nd – Bruce & Fran Fowler and Russ & Jan Stocek (32)<br />3rd – Clyde & Cookie Smith and George & Terry Fondurulia (33)<br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/golfwriter86/RRGCGoofyGolf2009?feat=directlink">Slide show here.</a>Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-47917947545469228722009-10-06T12:49:00.000-07:002009-10-06T13:07:18.819-07:00A final Ace before overseedingWe had one final hole-in-one before we closed for overseeding on October 5.<br /><br />Carol Simmons<br />Sept. 30 - Buttes #3; 132-yards 7-woodDavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-40624040387068497502009-09-13T11:57:00.001-07:002009-09-13T12:01:20.628-07:00What makes the FedEx Cup so unexcitingThe Eye On Golf staff got to thinking the other day about why the <a href="http://www.pgatour.com/">PGA Tour's </a>FedEx Cup is just so doggone unexciting. Why is it that each event seems like just another four-day, 72-hole PGA Tour golf tournament? Where is the spectator anxiety? Where is the sit on the edge of your seat and scream at the television exhilaration?<br /><br />So, after lengthy discussion we think we have an answer (or perhaps two) to this most pertinent of golf questions. First no one, except maybe a few talking heads at PGA Tour Headquarters and a few golf scribes, really and truly understands the elimination system. This is the third year of the <a href="http://www.pgatour.com/fedexcup/">FedEx Cup</a> and the third attempt at a working playoff system that will generate the ultimate champion. This year, when the third event of the playoffs ends on Sunday, the top thirty players in FedEx Cup point standings will move on to the Tour Championship in Atlanta just like in year past. However, at this watershed all the points that a player has earned throughout the season will be reset and the claim is that any player within the top five who wins the Tour Championship will win the FedEx Cup.<br /><br />Of course, this has all kinds of nonsense scenarios wrapped up in it. A player could win all the money, lead the FedEx Cup point standings by a mile going into the Tour Championship and then lose the final event by one stroke and walk away without the precious Cup. Do you have a player in mind here?<br />Second, and perhaps most important, is that this playoff system doesn't generate any thrills except for the fabulous golf. Those actually attending one of these playoff events are there because the circus is in town and it's fun to go to watch the best players in the world. Those of us watching at home just want to see some good golf. We believe that the lack of excitement is due to the length of each “playoff game.” Each “elimination game” is four days long, much too long to generate any allure. The <a href="http://www.nfl.com/">NFL</a> playoffs which culminate in the Super Bowl are a one game, one day events. You don't have to go to the stadium for four days to find out who the winner is. <a href="http://www.nascar.com/">NASCAR</a> has a ten race finale, The Chase, that builds anticipation through each of the final ten races. Once again, each race is a one day event. Fans look forward to that one weekly experience that may make or break their favorite team or player. The sense of excitement and anticipation builds week to week.<br /><br />The PGA Tour will not get to experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat until it figures out a way to generate that week-to-week excitement.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-43121975882603725072009-09-09T04:19:00.003-07:002009-09-09T04:23:53.031-07:00America’s VetDogs promo a huge success at Robson Ranch Golf Club<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHy6X6LlMNfZwy6NXVrFPedlQpeaZ76Zi7nkWiiuoXgfQguL1M13lcV7YTSbivENyFJNKDn6xRaUFUarcojLOG4DVWuFX7uWZo49LPMW2U3fj3UWWG0nYQUm4ODqxtMl3LDiSiOsN8tJ8L/s1600-h/vetdogs400%5B1%5D.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379426409234043922" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 124px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHy6X6LlMNfZwy6NXVrFPedlQpeaZ76Zi7nkWiiuoXgfQguL1M13lcV7YTSbivENyFJNKDn6xRaUFUarcojLOG4DVWuFX7uWZo49LPMW2U3fj3UWWG0nYQUm4ODqxtMl3LDiSiOsN8tJ8L/s200/vetdogs400%5B1%5D.gif" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">The Labor Day weekend promotion for </span><a href="http://www.vetdogs.org/"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">America’s Vet Dogs</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"> conducted by </span><a href="http://www.robson.com/page.cfm?name=RobsonRanchCG_"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">Robson Ranch Golf Club</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> proved to be a huge success.

The next few postings will bring us up to date (hopefully) on several of the events that have occurred at RRGC.<br /><br />Here's the first one:<br /><br />The Robson Ranch Ladies Golf Association conducted their first Member-Guest golf tournament on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 at the Robson Ranch Golf Club. The event was utilized as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Komen is a United States-wide organization that supports breast cancer research. The event raised over $2,100 for cancer research through donations, “mulligans” and raffles.<br /><br />The tournament was conducted as a two person scramble over 18 holes with each player’s tee shot being used a minimum of four times.

The golf was good and the excitement was spellbinding. And it must be said that the ladies fared far better than the men.<br /><br />With twenty-one ladies competing ten shot a net score lower than the professional’s gross score of 74. The winners were:<br /><br />Barb Chmilar - 66<br />Jan Brown – 68<br />Linda Carlberg – 69<br />Fran Fowler - 70<br />Pam Costner – 71<br />Sue Hart – 71<br />Kay Jacobs – 71<br />Glady Miller – 71<br />Dell Hoff – 73<br />Fran Schwatrz – 73<br /><br />Congrats to all the ladies for their fine play.<br /><br />The men, however, were another story. Of forty-two competitors only one was able to shoot a net score lower than the pro’s 66. The winner was…<br /><br />Paul Hoff – 65<br /><br />Congrats, Paul! A job well done.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-33011824125669598642009-01-07T05:22:00.003-07:002009-01-07T05:29:03.938-07:00Magique Demo on Thursday January 8All golfers seeking to improve their game in 2009 should visit the practice facility at Robson Ranch Golf Club on Thursday, January 8th beginning at 9 AM. Jason Fortney from <a href="http://http://www.magiquegolf.com/">Magique Golf</a> in Tempe will be doing complimentary club fitting for anyone who can swing a golf club.<br /><br />It's a unique opportunity to get fitted for clubs that are perfectly matched to your game.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-43547390900075277102008-12-27T08:40:00.002-07:002008-12-27T08:54:38.660-07:00This Week at Robson Ranch Golf Club<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89HZ-MbKjo0257112EoEBKuSFZGdpQR0olHSi0dxvzCLQziu6rRoIu7KJ-l9Nxvlbj3GS6nM-Osb2gi74yYF4sjp6rO7oM9DqNBCFwxNgMswfq4N5ZgjZ4NSGTcWhfp0p6bfjfw4kUfmv/s1600-h/New+Sunset+002.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89HZ-MbKjo0257112EoEBKuSFZGdpQR0olHSi0dxvzCLQziu6rRoIu7KJ-l9Nxvlbj3GS6nM-Osb2gi74yYF4sjp6rO7oM9DqNBCFwxNgMswfq4N5ZgjZ4NSGTcWhfp0p6bfjfw4kUfmv/s200/New+Sunset+002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284498782711854130" /></a><br />The New Year is coming! 2008 is almost gone and 2009 is just four days away. With a new year should come a positive approach to the game – play a little bit more and practice a little harder.<br /><br />Weather forecast looks great for this coming week. Might be a little cool in the AM, but the afternoons you can expect temperatures in the 60’s. That means the course will be busy so be sure to think ahead for your tee times.<br /><br />On New Year’s Eve the Golf Shop will close early probably around 3 or 4 PM. We need to get all of that end-of-the-month and end-of-the-year computer work done before we can ring in the New Year like everyone else.<br /><br />When we open on January 1, 2009 the price for golf will be a slight bit higher. Our advertised special will be $39. This gets you 18 holes of golf to include green fee, cart fee and tax. The homeowner rate will be $34. Also remember for those who like to practice a bit, we are now offering a Range Pass. For $150 you get 100 tokens dispensed ten at a time. If you do the math, that computes to a bucket of balls for half price.<br /><br />Hope to see you at RRGC this week.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-79831235768930010612008-12-08T05:12:00.003-07:002008-12-08T05:22:56.209-07:00This Week at Robson Ranch Golf Club<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_1CevIMh4iDztGhts3u25Wun8p1DyCCtrElV-_zbBbF5dk3eHYrtpARku5bweSteAm7s7-MiTfsUxEr9dZgvbEIofZeXgFtpN4I9XafbSldAgF2k6CIUKsQz4lq6ByoBobWDalKCuQeb/s1600-h/DSCF4432.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_1CevIMh4iDztGhts3u25Wun8p1DyCCtrElV-_zbBbF5dk3eHYrtpARku5bweSteAm7s7-MiTfsUxEr9dZgvbEIofZeXgFtpN4I9XafbSldAgF2k6CIUKsQz4lq6ByoBobWDalKCuQeb/s200/DSCF4432.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277393559517481410" /></a><br />All that's happening this week Dec 7-13 at RRGC.<br /><br />Once again this week RRGC will be awash in golf. Most of the “snowbirds” who patronize our golf course have returned and are enjoying our golf course as well as the practice facility. If you would like to play our course, try to plan a few days ahead so you can make arrangements for your desired tee time. And don’t forget our Tuesday and Saturday special: With a paid $30 green fee you will also receive a $5 coupon for use in the Bar & Grill on the day you play.<br /><br />As we put fingers to keyboard there are but 17 shopping days remaining until Christmas. Many of our residents got into the holiday spirit at the annual Christmas sale. For those of you who participated, we thank you for your patronage.

We feel that it is fair, simple and eliminates all subjectivity. We ask that all those who practice or play on any of our golf facilities be aware of our dress code and adhere to it. Golfers should bear in mind that it is part of the etiquette of the game to adhere to the rules and regulations of the club they are playing. <br /><br />The following wording is taken directly from our Golfer’s Handbook.<br /><br />General Information<br />The dress code applies to all members, homeowners, renters and guests of the golf course. Everyone is responsible to be knowledgeable of the dress code. The Head Golf Professional and staff have the right to determine what constitutes appropriate attire for the golf course and the practice facilities. No one will be allowed on the golf course if they do not meet the requirements of the dress code.<br /><br />Shoes are required at all times. Soft-spike golf shoes, sneakers or rubber-soled shoes must be worn on the golf course and the practice facility. Any footwear that would damage a green is strictly prohibited.<br /><br />Gentlemen<br />Slacks or golf shorts and collared or crew shirts with sleeves are required. No tank tops, tee shirts, athletic shorts, swimwear or tennis attire is permitted. No denim pants, denim shorts or cutoffs regardless of color are permitted.<br /><br />Ladies<br />Golf shorts, skirts, skorts or slacks with golf shirts, blouses or sweaters are required. No tank tops, halter tops, athletic shorts, swimwear or tennis attire is permitted. No denim pants, denim shorts or cutoffs regardless of color are permitted.<br /><br />We thank all those who utilize our golf facility for adhering to our simple and traditional dress code.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-12940818680144304602008-11-29T05:24:00.003-07:002008-11-29T06:22:14.552-07:00This Week at Robson Ranch Golf Club<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnzgGEjTgsho7rTws_If-u8wz2h4soEDF1zyCTcwObJ689JKocK_VGkTBv20ITEWD4Uh1QndWCM3wNRSX7QYwQNl2qVRL4E2dBWGZhKe4h16jGgGz8ULSMruLElJabjDAWfasoyC1u1pGS/s1600-h/DSCF4439.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnzgGEjTgsho7rTws_If-u8wz2h4soEDF1zyCTcwObJ689JKocK_VGkTBv20ITEWD4Uh1QndWCM3wNRSX7QYwQNl2qVRL4E2dBWGZhKe4h16jGgGz8ULSMruLElJabjDAWfasoyC1u1pGS/s200/DSCF4439.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274068783847569378" /></a><br />Here’s what’s happening Nov 30 – Dec 6<br /><br />This coming week at Robson Ranch Golf Club should be busy and should be fun. As usual we have lots of golf on a course that is always groomed to the highest tournament specifications. The sun should shine and the course is green so come out and test your skills.<br /><br />But, it’s not only golf we have this week, there are also a couple of special events on the schedule. On Monday, December 1, Magique Golf makes a return visit for a Demo Day. This event is open to the public. Jason will be the representative from the company. He should be on the Driving Range from about 8:00 AM until ??? He will personally fit you for any club (or clubs) you wish to purchase. You can test all the clubs you so desire to find just the right one to improve your game. If you have never been properly fitted for golf clubs, this will make a dramatic difference in your game.<br /><br />If you’re not familiar with <a href="http://www.magiquegolf.com/">Magique</a>, check out their website. My personal opinion: When you consider purchasing a new club or clubs, the company you choose should offer quality equipment and caring customer service. Magique provides both. You cannot go wrong with this company.<br /><br />Robson Ranch Homeowners don’t forget the annual Christmas sale on Tuesday, December 2 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. There will be the usual “seasonal discounts” on both hard goods and soft goods to jump-start your Christmas shopping. A little teaser...we now have the (in)famous "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bubba-Keg-20oz-Travel-Black/dp/B000JO90QC">Bubba Mugs</a>" for sale. Not sure what they are? Come by to see "Bubba." Come one, come all and enjoy the drollery. And it just so happens we coordinated the time and date precisely with the weekly social experience.<br /><br />Hope to see y'all at both events.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285173870610790133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729508563665590333.post-89679143966363130382008-11-26T04:55:00.000-07:002008-11-26T05:16:33.295-07:00Welcome<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSy9Ogt4O2J90LtC_aij-iq0NpZ-IGvN9shrxe1twcYerIvKmfBrCDsh9umA0b6DOc5VYao4-yo7mikTz6DqPgEA7txo3bgNxDvZ_wcInvadQI5F-0gC1T854edXxJpxBZp5lKEbL0cs1/s1600-h/DSCF4434.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSy9Ogt4O2J90LtC_aij-iq0NpZ-IGvN9shrxe1twcYerIvKmfBrCDsh9umA0b6DOc5VYao4-yo7mikTz6DqPgEA7txo3bgNxDvZ_wcInvadQI5F-0gC1T854edXxJpxBZp5lKEbL0cs1/s200/DSCF4434.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272938737772241922" /></a><br />Come one, come all to the Internet home of Robson Ranch Golf Club.<br /><br />All are welcome here - Robson Ranch Homeowners and the Golfing Public.<br /><br />It is here that you will find all things happening at RRGC. You'll need to check in often to keep up with the proceedings. Make sure you put us on your favorites with bells and flashing lights so you don't forget.<br /><br />What we hope you will find here is everything you wanted to know about RRGC but were afraid to ask - well, maybe not totally distressed, but didn't know where to get the answer.
