Jamhuri Day Championship Results

Belated Happy Jamhuri Day!

He was lost, he was found, he showed up and won it all! None other than one of the JC elder statesmen, Mzee Denys Williams who has maintained his membership in JC even in his absence came back after over a year and took the field by surprise. Denys won with 31 points. Paul Macharia and Greg Pace came a close 2nd and 3rd respectively with the decision coming on count back as both got 30 points. Claude Lemite took home the lowest gross trophy with a gross of 20 points. Paton George claimed the longest drive and Denys Williams again took home the closest to the pin bragging rights.

When you click on the link for the leaderboard, we have included the results based on the stableford points (in Dec ’11 SF tab) and regular scores (Dec ’11). Please note that the initial analysis shows that the use of stableford does not significantly affect the leaderboard. This was our expectation; we will continue to experiment on the format for a few more tournament and make a decision on adopting it permanently in 2012-2013 year if it the trend observed in our first tournament we used it on stands. Please feel free to send us some feedback about your feelings about the changes we are trying to implement!

Last but not least, we’d like to welcome our first time guest, Ron Favors and two people we hadn’t seen in a long time, Denys Williams and Anthony Emoghene.

From the whole Jamhuri Classic Family, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

As Jamhuri Classic continues it’s 6th year, we have to discuss the importance of membership. We have been very fortunate to continue the tradition of playing monthly tournaments for our members and guests for 64 straight months.

Let’s be realistic, tournaments cost money to organize. There is an expense with trophies, gifts and marketing. We are grateful to our sponsors for covering the majority of the cost of each event. However, our membership dues is what keeps Jamhuri Classic rolling.

As a GSGA associate member club, Jamhuri Classic handicaps will be maintained on GHIN. You will be able to post your scores online at your earliest convenience by going to http://www.ghin.com. In addition to the convenience of internet posting, GHIN has an eGolfer portal. You can register yourself on the eGolf portal free of charge. The eGolf portal will help you improve your game as it gives you the ability to keep detailed stats on your game and you can analyze on your own or with the help of a golf pro to see areas you need to devote more time on. The eGolf portal works in concert with the GHIN handicapping further giving you the option to enter scores on the portal that will directly be routed to GHIN handicapping.
