We haven’t seen David
Millward in Buffalo yet this year, but he’s on top of Ace of Clubs list (club
play only) for Unit 116 Ruby Life Masters in the latest update of the master
point races on the ACBL website. Amongst us folks with 1,500 to 2,500 points,
David makes his first appearance of 2017 with 68.50 points, all earned in
Florida, apparently. Must not have been a great winter for golf, which often
draws him away from the tables when he’s up North.
David’s sudden
materialization at the head of the list demotes Mike Silverman, who was away
for half of April, to second place. And now I’m third, thanks to another
wretched month, though not quite as wretched as March. I added 10.36 club
points, bringing my total to 37.55 and lifting me out of a tie with another
snowbird who’s still in Florida – Gene Finton. Here’s the new lineup:
David Millward, 68.50;
Mike Silverman, 57.43; me, 37.55; Gene Finton, 35.78; Ken Meier, 35.58; Fred
Yellen, 31.92; Dorothy May, 27.43; Allen Beroza, 25.53; Vince Pesce, 17.30; and
Chuck Schorr, 15.91.
David Millward is
second overall among all Unit 116 players and Mike Silverman is third. Me, I’m
lagging way behind in 15th place, but that’s one notch higher than a month ago.
The Unit 116 leader is Meg Klamp, another snowbird, who’s on top with 68.55,
just barely ahead of David Millward’s 68.50.
Then it’s Mike
Silverman with 57.43; Liz Clark, 55.12; John and Martha Welte, tied with 44.15;
Jay Levy, 42.63; Jerry Geiger, 42.03; Martin Pieterse, 41.84; Sharon Benz,
41.10; John Ziemer and Bud Seidenberg, tied with 40.84; soon-to-depart Tom
Koralewski, 39.79; Joyce Greenspan, 39.04; then my 37.55, which is the barest
fraction ahead of Ron Henrikson’s 37.51.
Moving on to the
Mini-McKenney race, which includes all points in tournament competition and
everywhere else, once again David Millward muscles onto the top rung among Ruby
Life Masters with 81.58 points, though that places him only 12th among all Unit
116 players. I’m in fifth place, 30th overall, still sinking. Last month I was
fourth and 26th. Here’s the rundown:
David Millward, 81.58
(12th); Ken Meier, 77.30 (13th); Mike Silverman, 58.37 (21st); Fred Yellen,
56.55 (24th); me, 47.55 (30th); Allen Beroza, 45.64 (32nd); Gene Finton, 35.78
(42nd); Dorothy May, 28.73 (54th); Bill
Rushmore, 24.06 (63rd); and Art Morth, 20.81 (73rd).
Overall Unit 116
Mini-McKenney leaders are John and Martha Welte (!), tied for first with
120.27, boosted by that 33.50-point showing in the Toronto Easter Regional.
Third is the player they displaced, Davis Heussler, the only other Unit 116
player who’s surpassed the century mark. He has 114.81.
Other leaders: Mike
Ryan, 97.89; Tom Koralewski, 96.30; Meg Klamp, 92.08; Christy Kellogg, 87.16;
Saleh Fetouh, 86.80; Bert Hargeshimer, 86.54; Linda Burroughsford, 86.32; John
Ziemer, 84.54; and David Millward, 81.58.
Moving on to District 5 (Buffalo, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh), Ace of Clubs. Ruby Life Masters. David Millward has reclaimed top
spot for Unit 116, displacing last month’s usurper – Susan Konig of
Bridgeville, Pa. I’ve slipped from a sixth place tie to ninth place. Here’s
the list.
David Millward, 68.50;
Susan Konig, 63.87; Mike Silverman, 57.43; Chantal Whitney of Bratenahl, Ohio,
52.71 (Bratenahl, we discover via Wikipedia, is a rich little lakefront village
that’s completely surrounded by the City of Cleveland and which gets 10 percent
of its municipal income from speeding tickets on the I-90); Allen Selling of
Erie, Pa., 49.92; Nancy Steele of Bridgeport, W.Va., 40.60; William Lindgren of
Slippery Rock, Pa., 38.36; Sandra Brand of Pittsburgh, 37.85; me, 37.55; and
Annemarie Gordon of Sewickley, Pa., 37.15.
In the overall District
5 Mini-McKenney standings, David Millward is fifth, Susan Konig is ninth, Mike
Silverman is 12th and I’m 51st, which is actually an improvement. A month ago,
I was tied for 62nd. Here’s that list:
Richard Katz of North
Versailles, Pa., 83.97: Patricia Katz of Pittsburgh, 80.96 (is there a catfight
in the Katz house?); D. Pierce of Parkersburg, W. Va., 70.71; Meg Klamp, 68.55;
David Millward, 68.60; W. (William, I just looked it up) Tordella of Bemus
Point, 67.50; Reanette Frobouck of Pittsburgh, 65.77; S. Ruskin of Pittsburgh,
64.50; Susan Konig, 63.87; and Arlene Port of Pittsburgh, 60.53.

Sulgroves of Twinsburg, Ohio, Kathleen and Don, tied for second with 210.66.
