Gentlemen of the BTC
 May 14, 2026

I stopped up and saw the golfers Tuesday at Sanctuary. Had a few cold ones and some good conversation.  The course was dry and all the boys seemed to enjoy it.  I'll be out of town next week so I guess Anthony will cover me. 

I came across Bowling’s 1981 Firestone Tournament of champions.  Pete Couture held off Mark Roth in a double roll off then took care of the great Earl Anthony.  All was good until he ran into Steve Cook as he started with 10 in a row for a $30,000 payoff.  That's all I got for you guys…..Magee out. 

Tim Magee – BTC Secretary

We had 86 golfers at Sanctuary this week.  We get some really good turnouts when it’s not cart path only.  It was a bit breezy but the weather was pretty good overall.  The course was in great shape and we had good scores out there.  The two top scores had kind of an old blood / new blood theme.  Past President Gary Foster shot an impressive 76 with one of our newest members Angel Nieves just one stroke back at 77.  Angel also had this year’s “closest” closest to the pin at just 0’ 11” on the fourth hole.  Ron Bazan and Les Swintek tied for the low net round with 69.

We had more than enough golfers to go back to both A and B divisions for the Daily Game.  There were only two skins won in the “A” division and Gary Foster won them both.  I drink Yuengling these days Gary.  I’m just sayin’. 

Next week it’s off to Green Garden (Blue).  We will be back to split tees this week.  We currently have 77 golfers for Green Garden.  Check the attached Green Garden sign-up sheet and make sure your name is on there if you want to golf.  If your name is not checked off, call the hot line (815-242-1597) to let us know you want to golf.  You can also call the hotline to register a twosome, threesome or foursome.

The tee sheet will be out this weekend.  I know some of you would like the tee sheet to be published in the newsletter but each week there are quite a few guys that call in after Thursday.  That is not a problem for us.  We like to see as many guys as possible make it out each week but if we put the tee sheet out on Thursday we would end up making major revisions.  Even when it goes out on the weekend, we have to make some revisions.  We don’t mind at all.  I just wanted everyone to understand why we wait until the weekend to publish the tee sheet.

Two Man:  The first round of the 2-man tournament is June 2nd at Odyssey.  If you haven’t paid for the 2-man yet please do so at Green Garden this week.  An updated 2-Man sheet is attached.  Also, we still have one single (Mike Chrisophersen) that needs a partner.  If anyone is interested, contact Scott or Anthony

PEORIA:  We now have 55 guys for Peoria.  We would love to get that number up to at least 60.  Contact Scott or Anthony if you would like to go.  We will be playing in Peoria on June 15th and 16th.  Guest of BTC members are welcome.

*** If you haven’t paid your green fees for Peoria yet you can pay at Green Garden this week or contact Scott or Anthony to make payment arrangements.  Golf each day in Peoria will be $56 + $20 each day if you want to be in the daily game,  $152 total ($112 if not in Daily Game).***
