Congratulations to our recently crowned Senior Club Champions. Gary Krumm won the Men's Championship shooting a first round 74 and following it up with a 75 for his first JCC Sr. Club championship. Babe Hansen shot 82-77 159 to outpace the field for her first Women's Sr. Club Championship. Joe Pereira won the overall Men's Net Senior Club Championship. Diane Philbin needed to outduel Kristin Box for two extra holes of sudden death playoff to win the overall Net for the ladies with a 135. The complete results may be found at the Jerome Country Club Website. The Regular Club Championship (Men and Women) will be played August 12th and 13th. Sign up in the golf shop.

The Jerome CC Handicap committee has asked me to remind players to post all eligible scores into the USGA Handicap System. The handicap committee is working on a way to email friendly reminders for members to post all scores. They will be checking to see that players are posting scores. The handicap system allows for both 9 and 18 hole scores to be
posted and is there to insure that competitions are fair for all players.

The August Tournament schedule includes the previously mentioned Club Championship the 12th and 13th . The Women's Rally for the Cure on Wednesday August 16th and the Two Person Classic August 25th thru 27th .

The Classic is a two of three days event. Two Person Teams will Play Two person best ball on Saturday (9:00 Shotgun Start). The teams will play a McCall Scramble on either Friday or Sunday. Friday and Sunday start times will be made by the players and the golf course will be open for non tournament play on those days. Men's Flights and Couples/Women's Flights are included. We would like to encourage Women's Teams and Couple Teams to sign up.

Thanks to all of you who have supported the JCC Junior Golf Program it has been a great success this season. 54 Junior golfers signed up, and an average of 39 participated each Tuesday and Thursday in June and July. These young players are the future of JCC.
