Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday League Money Lists
Thank you to all the members and tournament players whose support and participation helped to make this a successful year for the club. In addition to our leagues’ tournaments, we co-sponsored two charity events: the Second Family and Friends benefiting First Tee and the Eighth JPMGC Charity Classic benefiting Harvest Against Hunger, held the Sixteenth Junior Tournament in August, and had outings to Chambers Bay.
Saturday & Match Play Money List Tuesday Money List Wednesday Money List
2025 Money Lists Composite – a composite spreadsheet for all three leagues with worksheets for each league, and all can be sorted. New this year in the Composite worksheet: columns for each league of the “points %” earned by each player based on the total member points for the league divided into the player’s winnings. The different league percentages are totaled in a fourth column. Perhaps this is a better way to determine the Sandbagger of the Year. Your comments are welcome.

Saturday League Tournament Champions
Jack Hartley was Gross Stroke Play Champion for a second time. Jack’s dominance in stroke play was demonstrated by his winning Low Gross of Field in the Spring, Summer, and Fall Field Days. Kyle Miller repeated as the Gross Match Play Champion. Mark Ohrenschall repeated as the Senior Gross Stroke Play Champion and won his second Senior Gross Match Play Championship. All of them qualified this year to play in the Champion of Champions Tournament at The Home Course in April 2026 and 2027.
Four players have qualified to compete for the 2026 Match Play Gross Championship. They are Dylan Fitzgerald, Jack Hartley, Kyle Miller, and Mark Ohrenschall. The remaining twelve spots will be filled based on the Spring Field Day 2026 gross performances from the blue tees.

Top Twenties
These are the top money winners and participants across all the club tournaments. Those people who play more on Saturdays and Tuesdays have an advantage in winning money, because those leagues pay better than the Wednesday league. Still, some people playing lots of Wednesdays did quite well. On the other hand, if percentages of league points were combined to determine the Sandbagger of the Year, Robert Cowan would have edged out Bob Cameron with 5.505% to 5.466%.
Bob Cameron led in “Points” and “Total Points & Purse,” Jeff Schoening led in “Purse,” and Oliver Rutz led in “Tournaments Played.” Because Bob led in points, he is the “Sandbagger of the Year” for 2025. He was also the winner of the Order of Merit for the Tuesday League. Congratulations, Bob! Top Twenties
