Gentlemen of the BTC

October 30, 2025

NEW GOLF HOTLINE

815-242-1597 as of 9/7/25

Well, it was a great day to golf for Oct. 28th, our last day of golf for the 2025 season. A lot of sun and not too much wind. I shot a brilliant 82 if you don't count my two double bogeys. G. Foster shot 84 so I beat him, but as usual, I couldn't beat those darn Kennedys as Bob shot 79 and Kevin an 81 as they cleaned out mine and Gary's wallets. But it was a lot of fun as usual.

The dinner after golf was very good and the waitress who was by herself did a very, very good job. I wish I could remember her name but maybe Andy or Anthony will. The bartender also did a good job, as did the bartenders at the min bar, Tim & Jenna, who always do a great job. The cart lady, Julie, was right with them as she was always there when Gary needed another beer. I want to personally thank Scott, Anthony, and Jim Day for all they did to make our golf season a success. It takes a lot of time and effort, and I think they hear more complaints than compliments. I would also like to personally thank Anthony for sending me the golf scores every week.

I believe our next dinner is our Christmas party in December when the slate for next year's officers will be on the docket. They are President Anthony Serritella, Vice President Lee Kaz, Treasurer Dave Jenner, and Secretary Tim Magee.

Bowling starts Tuesday, 11-4-25. Right now, we have 9 teams but anybody who wants to bowl is welcome. We have a meeting at 2:00. Practice bowling starts at 2:45 and bowling starts at 3:00.

Your secretary,

P.S. Go Bears. Does anybody agree with me that Caleb Williams is very shaky?

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE:

It was great seeing everyone Tuesday at the golf banquet. We held a membership meeting and accepted Bruce Clark and Julian Lopez. Make these gentlemen feel welcome the next time you see them.

Tennis Report – Al Baldermann

We will begin playing tennis on Tuesday, November 4^th. The arrangements have been made with the tennis club. We will play from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, as always. You must have a Park Forest Tennis Club membership to play. The court time cost is $12.00 per week including tennis balls. Bring your racquet and tennis shoes. Looking forward to seeing you on November 4^th!

Also, Chuck DiNolfo asked me to remind everyone that our semi-annual GIO trip is scheduled for Tuesday, November 11^th. All are invited. Please let me know if you are attending so that we can make the reservation.

Bowling News

We are looking for individuals and/or full teams to join. There is room for everyone. Bowling, just like golf, is handicapped based on your skill level, which allows all skill levels to compete on a level playing field. If you are new to the BTC, or did not bowl last year, please do not hesitate to call or text me at 708-912-8831. I will find you a spot. If you would rather email, please do so at keith@burroakbowl.com.

Bowling Secretary,

Keith Tadevich

Golf News

Unlike the last two years, we had pretty good weather to close out the golf season. We had almost 90 golfers out there and 104 members attended the dinner/banquet afterwards.

The final daily game results are attached to this week’s newsletter. That attachment also includes all of the scores from Tuesday sorted three ways (alphabetical, gross score low to high, net score low to high).

Some time in the next couple days you will receive another email that will include a year end summary, some final thoughts on the 2025 golf season and some preliminary thoughts on next year. We may even add a video summary. I know how much you guys love it when I make videos.

Your 2025 Golf Guys,

Scott Lee (312) 340-4171
