Multiple emails have come out with a link for you to respond with a yes or no about attending the Peoria trip on Monday June 15^th and Tuesday June 16^th.  If you haven’t received the email or are having any difficulties with it, call or email Anthony Serritella (630-430-5742) (anthonygolfbtc@comcast.net).  Some guys are planning to go on Sunday to either get in an extra round of golf or for some extra gambling or both.  As far as their wives are concerned, they are going on a church retreat.  Praise the Lord. 

We have rooms reserved at Par-A-Dice hotel and casino, 21 Blackjack Blvd, East Peoria, IL 61611.  We reserved 60 rooms for Monday and 30 for Sunday.  You can call or go online to reserve your room.  Use the code BTCF26C when making your reservation to receive our group rate. 

We will be golfing at Metamora and Weaver Ridge.  Golf each day will be $56 + $20 if you want to be in the Daily Game.  We will start collecting golf money at the St. Pat’s Dinner.  You will be on your own to pay for the hotel.

We have Hickory Hills scheduled for July 16^th for those who will not be going to Peoria but still want to golf on the 16^th.

Opening day this year is exactly 2 months away.  We will kick things off at Silver Lake on May 5^th.  It will be a 10:00 shotgun start followed by our annual opening day dinner at the golf course.  We will unveil the rest of the 2026 schedule at the St. Pat’s Dinner.  Spoiler Alert: We will be golfing on Tuesdays.

 Your Golf Guys,

Anthony Serritella and Scott Lee

Tennis Report – Al Baldermann

17 players. Good turnout.

John Schiera has a badly injured right hand, so he played left-handed (like El Michel) and played very well.

After tennis, 12 of us went to Social 45, joined by Steve Anderson and Charlie DiNolfo. Lots of good conversation. 

Results:

Baldermann          17/30

Darabaris              16/30

Rodriguez             15/30

Al leaps to put away another winner Tuesday.  Check out that  vertical.		Mike Darabaris looks like he is focused on the ball, but in reality he is thinking about how much he wants to be like Al when he grows up
