Bitzer Repeats and and O'Rouke wins by 1

Bitzer_5x4- As we look back on our Active Score posting Season in the Miami Valley (March 15 to November 30), we saw a slight decrease of 1.5% in rounds posted when compared to 2021.  However, in comparing rounds posted to 2019, rounds are still up almost 18%.  Overall, our game is very healthy in the Miami Valley and across the globe. Here in the Miami Valley, we have not seen these numbers since 2000.  No question this is a great thing, however since 2000 we have lost 15 courses, which puts round inventory at a premium over the remaining open courses.  Many of the closed courses were entry level facilities increasing the difficulty for new or returning golfers to learn the game.  But when one door closes another door opens and in the golf world, 2022 will likely see more people come to the game through nontraditional means starting their golf life at Practice Centers and Simulators.

Back at home, our rounds posted during our active season leaders did not change all that much.  In the 260 days between 3/15 and 11/30, Penny Bitzer again led the way for the ladies with 175 rounds and Red O’Rourke retook the top spot from Gordon Willins by one round 182 to 181. 

RedRounding out the top five for the ladies was Gail Moore at 162 in second place, same as in 2021, Deb Shartle and Vicki Anderson tied for third with 122 rounds and rounding out the top five was Carol Stout at 112 rounds.

On the Men’s side, in third place with 156 rounds was Greg Taulbee and in a tie for 4thwas Joe Rusnak and Joe Engelman at 155.

Active Score Posting Season in our Association for 2023 will again begin on March 15th and run through the end of November.  Don’t forget to still post those rounds if you are playing outside our active season if you are playing in an active season location such as the South or West.
