- LOW SCORE OF THE WEEK -
ANDY MILLER
Blemish free card for Andy in week 3. 6 pars and 3 birdies for a gross score of 33. On the 9th hole Andy hit a cute little chip to record his third birdie of the day which resulted in him collecting the entire skins pot along with the low gross for week 3. We can’t move him back any further, the only thing that can stop him at this point is someone capping his knees in the parking lot.

Other than bogey on 8, Dupes had a stress-free round carding an even 36. He started his round shooting even through the first 6 holes. His lone birdie came on the par 4 7th. He would go on to bogey #8 but got back on track with a par on 9.

5 VETERANS LEAVE THE ALBATROSS LEAGUE FOR GREENER FAIRWAYS
It’s a day we all knew would come, the day where some members of the Albatross League would leave for other opportunities, we just didn’t think there would be a sort of exodus like we saw before the 2024 season began.
The departure of Heister and Maloney as well as Kellinghaus and Jansen we’re enough to do a double take as both groups have been in the league since its inception and both were fantastic groups to have in the league, however, the departure of former President and Founder Kenny Collopy really threw everyone for a loop. Some compared it to the first retirement of MJ, others speculated Kenny got an absolute BAG from the LIV Tour, only time will tell. His former (golf) partner and brother Pat Collopy said, “I wish the best for Kenny and hope he enjoys Highland Country Club. It ain’t no Hickory or Albatross League but sometimes you have to make tough choices. I for one, will be a better golfer without him chirping in my ear after every shot.”
As we move on to year 10 of the league we welcome some new faces. The team of Corey Dill and Kody Rosenhagen will be a great fit and provide some competitive matches as well as long-time sub Brennen DeVoto and his partner Aaron Speier (AKA AAron). Pat Collopy will replace Kenny with another long-time sub in Wes Diehl. We look forward to having these gentleman join the League and look forward to many matches in the years to come.
