Welcome to the 2001 Howell Park Thursday flight!
This package contains most of the information that you'll need to
get started, including your release form, schedule,
and the first week's pairings. Here are some other important details:
- First Match:
The first night of play will be May 3rd, at Howell, unless the course is closed.
The first match parings can be found at hp-th0100.html.
- Web-Site:
The League's official web-site is http://www.dcentral.com/~golf/ - feel free to drop by and look around. Weekly match results, and statistics, will get get posted there.
- League Fees/Prizes:
The cost for league play is now $12, and is to be turned in to me by the second week of play. If you're paying by check, make it payable to "Russell Brodfuhrer."
We're almost current with the distribution of previous years' prizes.
We are, once again, maintaining our own fee structure and prize pool separate
from the other flights. The differences from league rules are as follows:
- No Trophies!!!
- Flight Champions: $15/player on the winning team (no golf balls!!!).
- Most Improved: $10 (no golf balls!!!).
Cash prizes, at an exchange rate of $1 = 1 ball, may be substituted at my discretion - shopping for hundreds of golf balls sucks, and maintaining an inventory
sucks worse. Expect nothing better than Top-Flites and Pinnacles in this price range.
- 2000 Flight Championship:
The 2000 Flight Championship match was won by Les Baxter and Mike Lundberg, who
beat Randy Thomas and Jane Kasper.
Randy Thomas won the Most Improved award.
And, sadly, the HH-Thursday flight badly beat an out-classed HP-Thursday flight
in the annual post-season grudge match.
A small flight history is available. This includes links to previous years' pages.
- Release Forms:
Release forms are still downloadable, but I just throw them out, so why bother???
- League Rules:
The rules package will be e-mailed to any flight members who request it. It is also available at the League's web-site. Please Note: The rules regarding attendance and it's impact on flight selection are being strictly enforced this year!!!
- Teams:
The teams in the flight are as follows:

- Handicaps:
The maximum handicap this year is still 19 - I'm happy to see this doesn't apply to anyone here.
- Match Results:
All I need from you is the score card after your match. You can give me the card at the course, at Woody's (see below), or give me the hole-by-hole scores via
e-mail the morning following play.
- Soft Spikes:
The county courses still have a mandatory soft spikes policy this year.
Please replace your worn out plastic spikes with more plastic spikes now!
- Tee Times:
The county courses are now using The Golf Network to reserve tee-times. The number is (888) 435-3613. You will need to be in possession of a vaild (unexpired) county golf I.D. card (or equivalent non-resident golf I.D. card) to use the service. It is my understanding that reservation service rules infractions (failure to show up, show up with fewer golfers than reserved, etc) will be strictly enforced this year, and will result in loss of reservation privileges. Use the service responsibly!
- Watering Holes:
The unofficial after-golf food and beverage establishment for the flight is Woody's, located in the center of Farmingdale at the site of the former Farmingdale
House restaurant.
The back-up watering hole is Mulligan's (on Rt 524/Rt 547 just south of town).
Well, that's about it for now. Let me know if there's anything else you
need to get started. See you all at Howell.
