Can MJ and Chan unite the clans against their foes?  Will they throw their driver to the middle of the fairway and charge their way to pars, birdies and eagles on their way to victory.... OR

Will the army of the mighty Avengers led by Vi and Alan take on this onslaught and return it in favor with crisp iron shots and 30 foot putts!  Only time will tell and the clock is ticking......7 days gentleman....7 days!

Fellow Hackers, 
Our 2012 Regular Season is now complete! Each Major tab has all the scores for this season.  Thanks to everyone who participated this season!  We had a great season with many new faces.  And now what everyone has been working hard for all season....THE 2012 HACKERS CHAMPIONSHIP!  

Even if you haven't qualified or would like to invite friends to come out and play you can sign up.  For those that have not qualified, but did play a round this year, we're putting you guys on the alternate list.  We guaranteed the course a 60 people minimum so it's highly likely a few alternates will be added into a championship match.  We can't guarantee you a slot in the championship, but the selection order of alternates will be done by seniority membership.

Fellow Hackers, 

The signup for our end of the year Hackers Championship is up!  Our Hackers Championship will be on September 30, 2012 at the Mill Creek Golf Club in Geneva Illinois.  

In order to qualify you must have played in 2 major events during this season.  If you have only played in 1 major you will be placed on the alternate list.  Based on the number of players we will use our alternates based on Hackers Seniority ie the amount of years/rounds one has played in the Hackers Group.  We still have the August Major so signup when you can.

Fellow Hackers,

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Settler's Hill this month!  The website is partially updated, just waiting on a few more scores and it will be all set.  For those that played on the first outing your scores are all updated.  See where you all stand!

We must now take our hacking skills south to the Balmoral Woods Country Club.  The site for our August 2012 Major!  The dates for our August major are Sunday August 12 and Saturday August 25.  The signup on the website is now active so check your schedules and signup when you can.    

It looks like my June trophy will have a new home at the end of the season.  Congrats and thank you to everyone who played in the June Major at the Whisper Creek Golf Club.  We had a great turnout for both dates and some awesome scores as well.

Congrats to Michael Chiong for winning closest to the pin this past Saturday.  He was in the second group and his tee shot which put him 5 feet from the hole held up against all us other hackers.  Great job Mike!

Congrats to Michael Jeongco for winning the longest drive contest.  His drive beat out Michael Chiong for the prize. Awesome drive MJ!

Here are the scores for June:

Hi Guys,
I would like to welcome our new members this year, and say welcome back to the veterans of Hackers Chicago. The committee wants to make this a fun year, so we just wanted to also let you know of certain requirements that we've implemented for the 2012 season.  To qualify for the Hackers Championship at the end of the season, members still need to make 2 out of the 4 majors.  To qualify for a Hackers Major Championship, a golfer would have needed to complete 4 rounds in a sanctioned Hackers Chicago Major for their career, and make 2 of 4 Majors in 2012.To new members, please be aware that membership in Hackers Chicago is by invitation only.  A veteran member requests a committee member to add an invitee into a year probation period and participate in a golf season with the rest of the members of the association.  We don't ask for much to go from probationary member to veteran status.  All we ask is that you be courteous towards the other members, show up to your commitments to Hackers Chicago on time, and let us know in advance if you can't make an event due to unforeseen circumstances.  This is our 6th year, and we want everybody to have fun out on the golf course.  
The sign up sheet for the May Major is now up in the "Majors" section.  Deadline for May 5 outing is April 25 and the deadline for May 20 outing is May 10.
