Watch Northeast Ohio Golf for details on next week’s location (Chippy vs. Rosemont) and format. Sidenote: the gift certificate portion of the 2011 League Standings has been added, bringing those totals up-to-date…

Send the runner to second: Kevin Larizza balked the pitch for the start of the first official night of the Chippewa Monday Scratch League yesterday. Instead of starting the 2-M format, yesterday’s play featured an individual $10 warm-up skins game that was originally scheduled for the previous week but was rained out. So Kevin has a justifiable reason for his balk, but the runners still move ahead.

Now the league is scheduled to officially begin this coming Monday, May 9th. (And the $50 Big Skins game will continue play every Monday at 11:30 a.m. as well.)

But the big news coming out of this off-week is that Larizza has decided to implement a fairly major rules change. [Read more →]
