Gentlemen of the BTC
 June 18, 2026

For those of you that are not aware, 26-year BTC member Greg Lewis is scheduled to have cardiac bypass surgery on Tuesday June 23rd.  Greg will be going in for pre-op testing on Monday to be sure that all is good to go for the surgery.  Please keep Greg in your thoughts and Pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.  Greg fully expects to be golfing and bowling sooner rather than later.

Hickory Hills:  Unfortunately, we heard multiple negative reports about what went on at Hickory Hills this week.  They appear to be somewhat of a disorganized mess.  Those of you that were there saw it firsthand.  There were even problems behind the scenes that you weren’t aware of.  I also heard that there were a lot of downed trees in play, but I don’t think we could hold Hickory Hills accountable for Mother Nature. 

 

We have one more date (Aug.4) there this year.  We will be looking for an alternate site for that week.  It is the championship round of our Two-Man tournament, and we cannot afford that kind of disfunction on such an important club day.

On a more positive note, there were some pretty good scores at Hickory Hills.  Mike Tinerella shot a 79 scratch.  Rob Elliott also had an impressive 81.  Some of the top net scores were Mike Seebock 62, Roger Stewart 64 and Rick Carioti 65.  

Peoria: 

Thirty-Two BTC members and 23 guests made the trip to Peoria.  The weather on day 1 at Weaver Ridge was damn near perfect.  Bob Kenendy took full advantage and shot an even par 72.  George Les (79), Frank Kossman (81) and John Boyle (82) also had good days. 

Maybe even more impressive was the flag hunting on the par 3’s.  The total combined distance for the four closest to the pin winners was 10’ 3” with the closest of the closest being Frank Kossman’s 2’ 2” on the 4th hole.  John Adreani was 2’ 5” on the 8th hole and didn’t win.

Metamora on day 2 was a different weather story.  It was sunny and warm but the wind was a major factor gusting up to 40 mph.  The overall scores were a little higher.  Bob “Elvis” Kennedy (79) led the way again followed by George Les’ 82.

Up Next:  We are headed back to Green Garden on June 23rd.  Check the attached Green Garden sign-up sheet and make sure your name is checked off if you want to play. 

If not, call the Hotline  (815-242-1597).  Also call the hotline if you want to register a twosome, threesome or foursome. 

 

 

On June 30th  at Glenwoodie we will be having our first Team Scramble of 2026.  The entry fee will be $50 per player.  All BTC members and applicants with an official Builders Tee Club handicap are welcome to play. 

There will be sign-up sheets on the bulletin board at both Hickory Hills and the two Peoria golf courses.  There will be two sign-up sheets.  One sheet for those who want to participate in the scramble and one for those who just want to golf without being in the scramble.  Do not sign both sheets.  If you do, I will send Pete Lambros after you.  He will go up one side of you and down the other like a crazed spider monkey.

Please use the following link to watch a very short video about the Team Scramble.  In the video when you here may say Odyssey, I meant Deer Creek.  I already know so I don’t need to hear any shit about it.
