Gentlemen of the BTC
 July 23, 2026

UPDATE:

7/27/26-University Golf Course staff report the course is underwater from today's storms and has many downed trees, so golf is cancelled for Tuesday.  Please scroll down to Golf News to see who has signed up for golf next week at Hickory Hills, then call the Hotline (815) 242-1597.  Click HERE for Golf News

I made it to the golf course this week to see the golfers and have a few beers.  The White Sox won another series. On road no less. The Cubs did not. It looks promising for both teams though. Man, I could run for office.  Anthony was teaching a few of us how to read the bulletin board. Lee KAZ is going to have his hands full trying to fill his shoes. JENNER and MAGEE, No hope.

The World Cup is finally over, sorry I don’t know who won. I was at Lagrange COUNTRY CLUB for a memorial luncheon. What a difference between a Speedway restroom and the restroom there. I should have applied myself in school a bit more. I can’t come up with anything else so,  MAGEE OUT

This week at Green Garden we kicked off the 2026 Club Championship Tournament and we were treated to what might have been the best weather we have had all season.

Bob Kennedy (75) and Frank Kossman (78) had this week’s two top gross scores.  Randy Samoska (69) had the best net score.  Roger Stewart (70), John Adreani (71) and Ron Bazan (71) also had impressive net scores.

Next on the schedule is University Park on July 28th.  Even though its an In The Square day, it is also a regular golf day.  So even if you are not in the tournament, you should still come out and golf.  Both sign-up sheets (In The Square and Regular golf) are attached.  Make sure your name is checked off on the correct sheet. 

If you are not signed up or you are on the wrong sheet, call the hotline (815-242-1597).

 

 

The first round of the Club Championship is in the books..  Twenty-three matches were completed on Tuesday.  If you were unable to play your match, contact your partner and make arrangements to       “get er done”.  To see all of this week’s winners, look at the updated brackets attached to this email.

 

Our first dog day of 2026 will be July 28th at University Park.  Everyone that golfs that day will receive a hot dog, chips and a drink compliments of the Builders Tee Club.  Even though its an in the square day, everyone should still be golfing even if you aren’t in the tournament.  In The Square doesn’t replace regular golf that week, it is in addition to.

The “In The Square” tournament will be played on July 28th at University Park.  We will be drawing the teams on Saturday July 25th.  Call the hotline (815-242-1597) if you are not already signed up.
