Gentlemen of the BTC
 June 11, 2026

Mt. Carmel no hit Brother Rice and then took care of Sandburg. The smoking White sox are in 1st place and winning in all kinds of ways. I'm sorry to say the Cubs are not. And what is up with Tom Kelly? Golf and bowling on the same day.  All you can do is hope to contain him. That's all I can say right now, Magee out!

The rain put a bit of a damper on things at Deer Creek this week.  We did however have 58 golfers play through cart path only conditions.  From what I heard, the course wasn’t really that bad. 

Mike Tinerella (81) and Scott Lee (83) had the best scratch rounds of the week.  Tinerella also led the net scores along with Dan Tomkins.  Each had a net 67. 

Two-Man Tournament:  We were able to get a couple two-man matches completed at Deer Creek.  Congratulations to Larry Konopacz and Julian Lopez on winning their match.  The team of Les Podlasek and Ben Tutka also advanced to the next round after their match went to a sudden death 19th hole.

There are just a couple of first round matches still unsettled.  Hopefully those matches will be completed this week.  The second round is scheduled to begin June 23rd. at Green Garden-Blue.

Peoria:   The Peoria trip is finally here.  If you haven’t signed up for Peoria and would like to go, contact Anthony (630-430-5742).  We can definitely squeeze you in.                                                                                                                                      

In addition to a regular Daily Game in Peoria for BTC members, and a Peoria handicap system game for non-members, Jim Day will be running two birdie pools.  One for players playing the forward tees and one for players playing the regular tees.  Each day’s entry will be $20.  See Jim Day before we tee off if you want to participate. 

On Monday June 15th we will be playing Weaver Ridge (11am shot gun).  Tuesday June 16th will be a 10:00 shout gun start at Metamora.

Peoria Trip Only:

Gentlemen,

The closest to the pin markers will have two sections.  BTC Members and Non-BTC Members.  If you hit a par three, make sure you are signing the right section.

For Non BTC Members there is an attachment to this email showing the Peoria System payouts. 

In the Peoria Handicap System, it doesn't matter what tee box you play. 

At Weaver Ridge you can play either green or white and at Metamora you can play either blue or white. 

We do however want to keep it fair for the closest to the pin on the par 3's so regardless of which tee box you are playing, everyone will play from the same tee box on the par3's.  The attachment has a grid showing the tee boxes and yardages for the par 3's.

At Weaver Ridge, everyone will play all par 3's from the white tee box & at Metamora everyone will play white except hole #8 which will be played from the red box.

Payments for non-members will be made for the top 4 scores each day, not the 2-day total score.

For BTC members, we will have our regular daily game with only one division.  For the par 3's you will play from whatever tee box you are playing for the day.

A couple BTC rules that everyone should be aware of (members and non-members).  We play lift clean and place in your fairway only and rake and place in all sand traps.  Play it as it lies everywhere else.

Also, we putt everything out.  No gimmes.  BTC plays max score 9.  For Peoria System players the max score will be double par.

I'll see you all Monday........Drive Carefully.

Hickory Hills:  For those not going to Peoria, Hickory Hills is the place to be this week.  We currently have about 40 members signed up to play Hickory Hills.  Check the attached sign-up sheet.  If you want to golf and aren’t on the list, call the hotline right away. (815) 242-1597 

 

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.
