Some matches were settled this week at Hickory Hills.  Congratulations to Jack Samoska and Dan Tomkins.   Jack and Dan are the first Champions of 2026 after winning their match and claiming the top spot in their Division of the Two-Man Event.  In Club Championship matches Bob Stanford, Mike Kampfert, Ben Tutka and Dennis Samoska Sr. were all winners. 

We are starting to fall a little behind in both events.  Up to date brackets for both events are attached to this email.  If you have a match that needs to be played, please contact your opponent and do what you can to get it done.

Besides the matches there was also some other pretty good golf happening at Hickory Hills.  Frank Kossman and Mike Tinerella each shot an impressive 78 to lead the way.  Gary Foster and Scott Lee weren’t far behind.  Both had 81.  Tom Krygowski’s net 65 was the low net round of the week followed by the net 66’s turned in by Mike Kampfert and Bob Kaus.  The closest “closest to the pin” this week belonged to Bob Vizdal.  Bob stuck one just 10 inches from the cup on hole #10.                    

 

 

Next up is George Dunne on August 11th.  I don’t think you are gonna wanna miss this one.  I have heard a lot of great things about the work they have done on this golf course.  I think we are in for a real treat. 

If you haven’t signed up to play George Dunne yet, call the hotline (815-242-1597).

 

Italian Day is August 18th, at Glenwoodie GC, with a rain date of September 1st.   We have limited cart availability for only 120 players so sign up early.  Tickets ($115) went on sale on 7/21 after golf at Green Garden and they can also be purchased through our website.  Additional flyers will be available at the golf course each week.  Please visit BuildersTee.com, Club Info, Applicant, for the registration form & Credit Card payment links, then contact Rich Schroeder by phone/text (708.878.3913) or attach the completed form to an email to  BUILDERSTEEgolf@gmail.com.

To date we have sold 40 tickets (80 to go) & have 6-hole sponsors committed (14 to go).  Please get your friends and guests registered & paid for this event no later than next Tuesday 8/11.  I need to give the course a hard number so they can purchase food.  Donations continue to come in, but more are needed.  Please see me after golf at George Dunne this coming Tuesday or scan/email the signup sheet and mail a check or pay through the website.

The surprise bonus gift at check-in offer has been extended 1 week to Saturday August 8th, to sign-up and pay, given the rain-out issue

I am in need of help in the following areas:

-Hole Sponsor & donations solicitor

-Raffle prizes (sports-related preferred)

Please contact Rich with any questions.

Sincerely,

Rich Schroeder
