Gentlemen of the BTC
 June 4, 2026

I'm back in town and better than ever. High school sectional finals this weekend. One of the big games is Mt Carmel against Brother Rice. We know who Kaz is rooting for. Lincoln Way central is playing Sandburg. Now for the majors, the White Sox are playing some good ball. We as Sox fans are feeling a lot better these days. As far as the Cubs go, their bullpen is suspect according to my Cub fan friends.  I'm sure the golfers will fill you in on what happened Tuesday……..Signing off Magee

We had some great weather at Odyssey this week.  For the most part, the course was in pretty good shape.  Based on the overall scores, it seems to have played a little tough.  But not for everybody.  Bob Kennedy had the low round of the week (75).  Frank Furman played 2 under on the front and finished with a 78.  Frank Kossman also had a solid day (82).  Mike Kampfert’s net 60 was the lowest net score of the week.  It was nice to see Tom Kelly out there golfing for the first time since he injured his shoulder on opening day last year.  Tom even picked up a skin on his first day back.   

Two-Man Tournament:  Many of the first round Two-Man matches were completed Tuesday at Odyssey.  Updated brackets are attached to this email.  Some of the matches that were not played this week are going to be played at Deer Creek on June 9th.  If you did not play your match, contact your opponents to make arrangements to get your match played.  Let Scott or Anthony know when you are going to be playing.

Peoria:   The Peoria trip is less than two weeks away.  If you haven’t signed up for Peoria and would like to go, contact Anthony (630-430-5742).  We have 59 (31 members / 28 non-members) committed and room for more.                                                                                                                                      

In addition to a regular Daily Game in Peoria, 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.

Deer Creek:  We will be heading to Deer Creek this week.  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 

June 16:  On June 16th, some of us will be in Peoria.  For those of you not going to Peoria, we have Hickory Hills scheduled for June 16th.  We currently have close to 30 signed up for Hickory Hills.  I’m sure that number will grow and there will be more than enough golfers there to have a good time and a full Daily Game.

 

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. 

Beginning this week at Deer Creek there will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.  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.

Your Golf Guys,

Anthony Serritella   (630) 430-5742S, Scott Lee   (312) 340-4171

Lost and Found:  A range finder was found on a cart at Odyssey.  Anthony will bring it to Deer Creek on Tuesday.  If it is yours and you will not be at Deer Creek, contact Anthony to make arrangements to have it returned to you. 

 

Quit Whining: 

This was Corey Rob on Monday.  He played 18 at Odyssey on Tuesday and then played 27 at Cinder Ridge on Thursday.  I want all of you to think about that the next time you think about whining about one of your l’il boo boos.
