The 5-Club Challenge at Rancho Carlsbad
February 1, 2021
The Dogleg League is BACK y'all and man oh man, it didn't disappoint! Not only did the golf gods grant us with a break in the rainy forecast, but someone had a HOLE IN ONE!
Big thanks to our hosts, Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course! If you've never been, it's a fun 18-hole par-3 track in Carlsbad. This place has it all - fun golf, a driving range, practice green, a grill and Dogleg Beer of course!
We couldn't have been more thrilled with the turn out - nearly 50 players joined us for a Sunday Funday on the links. There were novice and seasoned golfers alike: guys, gals, couples and pals! Seeing everyone out there stretching their legs, enjoying the sunshine and making new friends is exactly what this League is all about.
We wanted to put everyone's creativity and short game skills to the test, so the format was a 5-Club Challenge, where you could only play with 5 clubs of your choice. Just to spice things up and even the playing field, we made it a blind draw partner best-ball - meaning we randomly paired score cards at the end for a best ball total and to determine the winners.
The highlight of the day is when Alyssa Waite stepped up to the 12th tee - a tricky 83-yard hole with a nasty side hill pin placement - an knocked it in for her first-ever ACE! The final top blind draw teams were:
1st PLACE: Joe Ryon & Stephen Vivier with a combined best ball score of 49
2nd PLACE: Alyssa Waite & Josiah Duheim with a combined best ball score of 50
3rd PLACE: Steve Wightman & Katy Barrett with a combined best ball score of 51
Closest to the Pin: Lou Riddle and Katy Barrett
The 5-Club Challenge was the perfect way to kick off 2021, and we can't WAIT to bring you more! Keep your calendars clear on the 4th Sunday of each month for our Dogleg Golf Outings. Up Next:
February 28
St. Mark Executive Golf Course in San Marcos
March 28
Emerald Isle Golf Course in Oceanside
Hope to see you at the next event!
Well, we got our first-ever Dogleg League getaway event in the books, and it was a weekend to remember! Twenty-two players traveled from near and far (New Mexico) to tee it up with us for the Dogleg League Desert Classic at Rams Hill and compete for the winning trophies (net & gross). We had couples, best friends, new friends and all skill levels playing at this unique, award-winning resort in Anza Borrego. We kicked off the weekend with a hoppy hour meet and greet at the House on the Hill – Ram Hill’s coveted resort house overlooking the 15th hole and sweeping desert mountain views. After a few cold, crisp Dogleg beers, we met in Borrego Springs for dinner at Carlee’s – an awesome local dive bar and restaurant where we filled up on delicious food, hustled some pool games and sang along with the local live music talent. Day 1: To get everyone into the competitive mindset, we started day 1 with a little putting competish. There was a 6-way tie for a brand-new Callaway putter, so a sudden death playoff determined the victor. Brian Kirkpatrick claimed the first prize of the event after getting closest to the pin on a double breaking 75-footer. Once we all had our putting dialed in, it was time to tee it up and take on Rams Hill. The fast, firm and undulating greens and tucked winds gave every player a tough challenge to start, but the winds and rain that picked up on the back nine were a true test of mental golf. Leader in the clubhouse after day one was Tyler Innes after shooting a 78 (gross) despite the challenging elements. Day 2: Despite a few ominous clouds and a sprinkle of rain, the golf gods favored our band of beer-loving golfers for the final round of our event. Between firing away at tucked pins and tricky lag putts, we enjoyed tasty beer, tacos at the turn and great vibes. In the end it was Innes who took home the championship trophy for gross winner after firing off 78-74, along with Marcus Mayors who posted equally impressive rounds of 77 and 76 for the net champion prize. All in all it was an epic weekend. Everyone walked away with new friendships, memories made and the itch to tee it up once more for the next Dogleg League event 😊
We had a perfect day at Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course for the 2nd Annual Pinehurst Challenge. The sun was shining, beer was cold and refreshing and good vibes throughout the course. Congrats to Jason Miller who posted a phenomenal ACE on the 15th hole! Thank you so much for joining us again for another Sunday Funday.
