🏆 THE SUPERINTENDENT GOT HIS REVENGE… BUT THESE GUYS GOT THE LAST LAUGH! ⛳🎃

Apparently, our maintenance crew wasn't quite diabolical enough!

Congratulations to Tony McIntire, Jacob Dykstra, Will Schmidt and Scott Bloom who conquered our inaugural Superintendent's Revenge with an impressive 58 in the four-person scramble, winning by just ONE stroke over the team of Al & Andrew McCormick, Matt Kieffer and Jeremy Edwards, who finished at 59!

And this was no ordinary round of golf. 😈

The champions carded 7 birdies and 3 eagles, eagling three of the four par 5s — including Hole 7, appropriately named “The Devil's Tee,” where they had to tee off from a hillside at the beginning of the fairway!

Their birdies were equally impressive:

⛳ Hole 1 – “The Not-So-Warm Welcome” featured a raised cup with a notch in the back. Only putts entering through that notch counted. Somehow, they made birdie anyway!

🔊 Hole 12 – “The Never-Ending Mow” greeted golfers with the lovely sound of a lawn mower blasting from a speaker while they teed off. Apparently, these guys weren't distracted.

🏌️ Hole 16 – “Tee Box Relocation Program” moved the teeing area all the way to the driving range. Different angle, same result: birdie!

⛳ Hole 17 – “Balls Out & Shut Down” sent golfers to our practice chipping green instead of the regular green, complete with range balls scattered everywhere. Another birdie!

And those weren't the only surprises. Hole 4's “Three Flags, One Cup” had golfers guessing which of three flags actually marked the hole. Hole 8's “Rake Expectations” featured an absurd collection of rakes between the bunker and green, while Hole 10's “The Irrigation Situation” had golfers navigating a maze of conveniently “forgotten” irrigation hoses.

All part of Dennis's carefully planned effort to make everyone's day just a little more miserable. 😂

But perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the turnout. 136 GOLFERS signed up for our very first Superintendent's Revenge! We were absolutely blown away by the response, and we can't thank everyone enough for coming out, embracing the craziness and making this inaugural event such a tremendous success!

And the best part? The only complaint we heard was that IT WASN'T HARD ENOUGH! 🤣

When Dennis heard that, he had just three words:

“WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR.” 😈

He's now got an entire year to dream up an even more diabolical course setup. Something tells us the maintenance department is going to have a little too much fun planning this one.

Thanks again to all 136 golfers, congratulations to our champions and runners-up, and we'll see you next year for SUPERINTENDENT'S REVENGE II! 🎃⛳

⛳🏆 13TH ANNUAL CROSS COUNTRY GOLF SCRAMBLE — TWO AGAINST FOUR… AND TWO CAME OUT ON TOP! 😂

Who says you need a full foursome to win a four-person scramble?

Yesterday's 13th Annual Cross Country Golf Scramble at Timber Pointe proved otherwise, as TWO former Club Champions teamed up to take on the field—and walked away with the championship!

For those unfamiliar with this one-of-a-kind event, we throw the traditional golf course layout right out the window! Instead of playing the holes as they were designed, golfers might tee off from one hole, play through another hole's fairway, and finish on a completely different green!

It's 16 holes of golf, a par of 62, and a whole lot of creativity, confusion, and fun! 😂

🏆 1ST PLACE — 48 (-14)

Congratulations to Kyle Bahnick and Alan McCormick, who proved that sometimes less really IS more!

Playing as just a TWO-MAN TEAM in a four-person scramble, these two former Timber Pointe Club Champions fired an incredible 14-under-par 48 to claim the title!

And they did it without the luxury of two extra teammates hitting shots. Pretty impressive! 👏

🥈 2ND PLACE — 51 (-11)

Steve Casper, Frank DeCastris, Jr., Tim Crouch, and Scott Taylor put together an outstanding round, finishing just three strokes behind the champions!

🥉 3RD PLACE — 53 (-9)

Will Schmidt, Tony McIntire, Zach Jole, and Brock Shattuck rounded out the top three with another terrific performance!

🎯 ON-COURSE COMPETITION WINNERS

💪 Longest Drive — Cross Country Hole #4
Scott Taylor

🚩 Closest to the Pin — Cross Country Hole #8
Rocky Sanchez

And if you're wondering what Cross Country Hole #8 looked like, golfers teed off from the Red Tees of Hole #11 and played to the Green of Hole #4, a 123-yard par 3!

Only at Timber Pointe do we consider that a perfectly reasonable golf hole! 😂

🍂 THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED!

A huge thank you to all the golfers who joined us for another memorable Cross Country Scramble!

This event is always one of our favorites because it gives everyone a chance to experience Timber Pointe in a completely different way—and occasionally discover parts of the course they never expected to play from!

Congratulations again to Kyle and Alan, our runners-up, and all our on-course competition winners!

Thirteen years of playing the course the WRONG way… and somehow, it just keeps getting better! 😂⛳

🌶️⛳ 24TH ANNUAL CHILI OPEN — A RECORD-BREAKING DAY AT TIMBER POINTE! 🏆🍂

What a day! Saturday's 24th Annual Chili Open couldn't have asked for better weather, better competition, or a better turnout!

A RECORD 146 GOLFERS signed up for this year's event, making it our biggest Chili Open ever! And Mother Nature certainly cooperated, treating everyone to one of the nicest fall days of the year! ☀️🍁

As for the golf? Well, we needed a scorecard playoff to crown our champions!

🏆 1ST PLACE — 57 (-15)

Congratulations to Jim Jackson, Mike Harris, Jason Brown, and Dave Kudzma, who fired an incredible 15-under-par round featuring 15 birdies and 3 pars!

But that wasn't quite enough to win outright...

🥈 2ND PLACE — 57 (-15)

Tom Henry, Nick Guth, Matt Smith, and Jake Dykstra matched that outstanding score of 57, including an EAGLE on Hole #11! 🦅

With both teams tied at 15 under, we went to the scorecards to determine our champions.

And it all came down to HOLE #18!

Jim, Mike, Jason, and Dave made birdie, while Tom, Nick, Matt, and Jake recorded a par, giving the Jackson team the victory in the scorecard playoff!

Talk about a close finish! 👏

🎯 ON-COURSE COMPETITION WINNERS

🚩 Closest to the Pin
Hole #8 — JJ Flores
Hole #14 — Jeff Lindquist

🎯 Closest to the Pin — 2nd Shot
Hole #13 — Jason Brown

⛳ Longest Putt

Congratulations to all our winners!

❤️ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY… THANK YOU!

To all 146 golfers who signed up for this year's Chili Open, we can't thank you enough for helping us set a new attendance record!

Twenty-four years of Chili Open tournaments, and you're still finding ways to make this event bigger and better!

Between the beautiful fall weather, outstanding golf, great food, and plenty of laughs with friends, it was everything we could have hoped for.

We truly appreciate your continued support of Timber Pointe and the traditions that make this place so special.

Congratulations again to our champions, and THANK YOU for making the 24th Annual Chili Open one for the record books! 🌶️🏆⛳

And judging by the scores, some of you were REALLY enjoying yourselves! 😂

That's a pretty impressive way to spend a fall afternoon!

Jon & Kathy Althof and their guests turned in an outstanding round to claim second place.

🥉 3RD PLACE — 60 (-12)

Events like our Customer Appreciation Playday are our opportunity to say thank you to the people who make Timber Pointe such a special place.

Whether you played your best round of the year, struggled to find a fairway, or simply enjoyed a beautiful afternoon with friends, we hope you had as much fun as we did having you here.

We truly do appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️

🍻⛳ 3-6-9 GOLF & BREW FEST: A TIE FOR THE AGES! 🏆

We've had some close finishes at Timber Pointe over the years, but yesterday's 3-6-9 Golf & Brew Fest might have produced the most unbelievable tie we've ever seen!

First, a little background on the format. Our golfers played true alternate shot, meaning teammates took turns hitting the same ball throughout the round. And to make things even more interesting, each player could select ONLY THREE CLUBS to use for the entire event, plus their putter.

Sounds challenging enough, right? Well, wait until you hear how this one ended! 😂

After nine holes, TWO teams finished tied for first place with identical scores of 44:

🏆 Jeff Gander & Seth Stanfill

Jeff's clubs: Driver, 6-Hybrid & Pitching Wedge

Seth's clubs: 3-Wood, 8-Iron & Sand Wedge

🏆 Dave Perez & Justin Barrera

Dave's clubs: Driver, 6-Iron & Pitching Wedge

Justin's clubs: 3-Wood, 8-Iron & Pitching Wedge

But here's where it gets crazy...

They didn't just shoot the same total score. THEY SHOT THE EXACT SAME SCORE ON EVERY SINGLE HOLE! 😳

Both teams made a par on Hole #6 and bogeyed every other hole. So much for breaking the tie with a scorecard playoff!

That left us with only one option: A PUTT-OFF! ⛳

Both teams headed to the practice putting green to settle things once and for all. Jeff Gander and Justin Barrera are pictured taking their shots at the title.

And after TWO rounds of putting?

STILL TIED! 🤣

At that point, both teams agreed they'd had enough excitement for one afternoon, declared it a tie, and split the combined first- and second-place prize money.

📸 In our photo of the winning teams, you'll see Dave, Justin, Seth, and Gonzo, who graciously stood in for Jeff!

🍺 BUT THE BIGGEST HIT OF THE DAY?

That might have been our post-round putting contest to determine who got to take home the leftover craft b**r!

Apparently, the possibility of winning a few free b**rs brings out a competitive spirit that even prize money can't match! 😂

Check out the picture of Craig Pruka trying to putt his way into a couple of craft b**rs from Pig Minds Brewery. We're not saying the stakes were high, but nobody wanted to leave those b**rs behind!

🍻 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR BREWERY PARTNERS!

We want to give a special shout-out to 5 Bines Brewery, Carlyle Brewing Company, Pig Minds Brewing Company, and Church Street Brewing Company for generously donating all the b**r for this event. Your support helped make the Golf & Brew Fest such a fun and memorable afternoon!

And, of course, THANK YOU to all 32 golfers who came out, embraced the crazy format, sampled some terrific craft b**rs, and made the event such a great time.

Great golf, great b**r, plenty of laughs, and a championship that apparently nobody could win outright.

Only at Timber Pointe! 😂🍻⛳

🏆🍾 NEW CHAMPIONS. SAME CH*****NE TRADITION! ⛳🥂

Introducing Timber Pointe's 2026 Member-Member Champions — Kent Kniep & Tom Henry!

And as tradition demands, here they are celebrating their victory the Timber Pointe way — drinking ch*****ne straight from the crystal championship trophy! 🍾🏆

But before the ch*****ne started flowing, these two had some work to do.

Kent and Tom wasted no time making their presence felt on Saturday, rolling in 4 birdies during the Front 9 Scramble (Holes 1, 4, 6 & 9) before adding 3 more in the Back 9 Chapman (Holes 11, 13 & 15). Despite their impressive seven-birdie performance, they ended Day 1 just 0.84 strokes behind leaders Kyle Rogers & Nick Guth, setting the stage for an exciting Sunday showdown!

Sunday was all about finishing the job.

They posted a solid 3-under-par Best Ball score on the Front 9 before collecting 38 Stableford points on the final nine to secure the championship by a mere 1.98 strokes!

🥈 Runners-Up: Congratulations to father-and-son duo Tom & Eric Howe, who finished in second place!

🎯 Closest to the Pin
• Hole 8 — Brock Shattuck
• Hole 14 — Jeff Gander

⛳ Longest Putt
• Hole 9 — Zach Jole
• Hole 18 — Mike Kwon

Congratulations to Kent and Tom on a terrific two days of golf, and thank you to everyone who competed in this year's Member-Member Championship. This was our largest field EVER!

And now, the important question...

Does ch*****ne actually taste better when you're drinking it out of a crystal golf trophy? 🏆🥂

Judging by the video, Kent and Tom seem to think so! 😂

👏 Let's hear it for our new champions!

🧟‍♂️⛳ THE WHACKING DEAD — NIGHT GOLF RESULTS! ⛳🧟‍♀️

The dead were out. The glow sticks were lit. And as the sun went down, Timber Pointe transformed into the Land of the Dead. 🌙⛳ Somehow, most everyone still managed to make it back to the clubhouse alive. 💀

Congratulations to our West Course Champions — Kent & Teri Kniep and Kyle & Emma Kniep! Playing Holes 4–9 & 11, the Kniep foursome fired a 2-under-par 26, going bogey-free and making birdies on Holes 6 & 11. Pretty impressive when just finding the fairway in the dark can feel like an accomplishment!

Over on the East Course (Holes 1, 2 & 14–18), Tim Magnusen and his guests turned in the winning scorecard, also going bogey-free while making birdies on five of their seven holes for a 5-under-par score of 22.

We'd love to show you a picture of our East Course champions, but there's one small problem...

We have no idea what happened to them. 👀

They turned in their scorecard and then mysteriously disappeared before we could get a winner's photo. Apparently, winning your flight doesn't necessarily mean you survived the Land of the Dead. 🧟‍♂️💀

Those who did make it safely back to the clubhouse were rewarded with our Bone Appétit Buffet, where “Bones” the Skeleton was waiting to welcome them back from the Land of the Dead. 🦴💀 We've included a few pictures of the spread, along with a look at how the glow sticks transformed the course once the sun went down. 🌙⛳

Thanks to everyone who came out and made The Whacking Dead such a fun night!

And Tim...if you're out there somewhere...
Congratulations. And please report to the clubhouse. 😂🧟‍♂️
