Gentlemen of the BTC
 July 2, 2026

While you golfers might have been warm, a bullet was dodged. The highlights of the day I can’t help you with. But as far as baseball goes our teams are having a great run. With the White sox it can be anyone on any given night.  The Cubs are getting long overdue production from their stars. I saw this morning the USA won their World Cup Soccer Match.  I personally can’t watch, but I did enjoy the patriotic singing. They are going to have a bobble head giveaway of one of our gold medal winners from our girls hockey team at the Rate.  I will get more info out in the next couple weeks……                Magee Out!

Scramble:  111-degree heat index could not stop the BTC Scramble.  The teams couldn’t have been more evenly matched, and it showed in the results.  The top 10 teams all finished withing 4 strokes of each other.  But in the end, it was Team #12 (Phil Schlesser, Kevin Bewley, Ben Tutka and Ron Abramowicz) in the winner’s circle.  There was a four-way tie for 2nd just 1 stroke back.  Click HERE for the full results.

Deer Creek:   Next up, we are back at Deer Creek.  It looks like it will be a much more comfortable day with temps in the low 80’s.  See link above for the sign-up sheet for those that wanted to play at Deer Creek.  Call the Hotline  (815-242-1597) if you are not currently signed up.

Club Championship:   The first round of the Club Championship will be July 21st at Green Garden.  The Club Championship is a free tournament.  All BTC members in good standing are eligible to play.  The rules of the tournament are posted on our website builderstee.com 

There was a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board at Glenwoodie this week and it will be on the board each of the next two weeks.  If you are not able to sign up at the golf course, you can call the hotline and let us know that you want to play in the Club Championship.

BTC World Series:  Anyone who finishes in either 1st or 2nd place in any of our events throughout the year earns a spot in the year end World Series Event.  Because of the 4-way tie for second place in this week’s scramble, twenty golfers secured their spot in the World Series.

Quote of the day:   When I was younger, I sucked at golf.  But now, after years of dedication, practice and coaching, I am no longer young.

Confucius Say, “one good hole is all it takes to ruin your plans to quit golf forever”.
