Wednesday, July 29, 2026 · Manor Valley Golf Course · Front Nine · Week 15 — Period 3: Late Season
Period 3 is underway, and the Wednesday Fun League wasted absolutely no time announcing itself. Twenty-nine players showed up for the Front Nine on a Wednesday evening, and what they produced was one of the most complete nights of team golf the 2026 season has seen. The Gopher Killers put on a clinic. Jeff Siegel delivered one of the finest individual rounds of the year. And somewhere in the Gopher Killers’ scoring pile, Rich Babjak posted 16 Stableford points and did not even make the top four. Let that sink in.
Welcome to Late Season. Nobody is taking a night off.
🏆 Individual Leaderboard — Week 15
For the second time in Period 3’s opening week, Jeff Siegel (Green Assassins!) reminded the field that when he is locked in, he is nearly untouchable. Playing off a 4 handicap from the Gold tees on the Front Nine, Siegel fired a 38-stroke round — just two over par — for 20 Stableford points. Two over par with four net strokes to spare is elite ball-striking by any measure, and it marks his third 20-point performance of the 2026 season. The man knows how to open a period.
Three players tied for second at 18 points — and each of them got there a completely different way. Matt Ankeny (Gopher Killers) shot 41 from a 5 handicap, five over par and impressively tidy. Randy Hobaugh (Par-Tee Animals) was even cleaner — 39 strokes, three over par off a 3 handicap, a round that would have won almost any other week outright. And Larry Dzendzel (DragonballZ) continued his blazing Period 2 form into the new period, shooting 40 strokes off a 4 handicap — four over par, immaculate course management from tee to green.
A four-way tie at 17 points rounded out the top five and told the whole story of how loaded the field was on the night: Bill Hensler (Four Play), Bryan Conn (DragonballZ), Ray Maffit (Par-Tee Animals), and Todd Morgan (Gopher Killers). That is four different teams, four different styles, four 17-point rounds on the same nine holes. On any ordinary Wednesday, 17 points wins the night. Not this one.

🏅 Week 15 Team Scores
Top 4 scores per team count toward weekly totals.
The Gopher Killers produced the team performance of the week — and it might be one of the best collective nights any team has put together all season. All six Killers in the field scored in double figures. Their top four — Matt Ankeny (18), Todd Morgan (17), Jim Colinear (16), and John Harr (16) — combined for a dominant 67 points. The remarkable footnote: Rich Babjak posted 16 points and did not even make the counted four, and Al Kabana’s 15 did not either. Six players, six double-digit rounds. That is jaw-dropping team depth on a single Wednesday evening.
DragonballZ continue to look dangerous in Period 3, posting 64 points on Larry Dzendzel’s 18-point gem, Bryan Conn’s 17, Joe Smith’s 16, and Matt Simkovic’s 13. Four of their five-man roster in double figures and all four counted scores contributing meaningfully.
The Green Assassins! put up 61 points anchored by Siegel’s dominant 20, with Bob Ciorra (15), David Del Signore (14), and Al Powanda (12) all counted — Jerry Morgan’s 12 just missing the cut in a narrow call at the bottom. The Stableford Stars checked in at 56 points, steady as always behind Tim Townsend (16) and Tom Baldwin (15).
Four Play (54 pts) had Bill Hensler lead the way with 17, and the Par-Tee Animals posted 51 points with only three scorers on the night — Randy Hobaugh (18), Ray Maffit (17), and Chris Del Signore (16) all counting, every single one of them.

* Par-Tee Animals had 3 scorers this week — all three counted.

🔜 Looking Ahead — Week 16
Period 3 is off to a flying start and the standings race is wide open. The Gopher Killers served notice on Wednesday night that they are not here to finish fourth again. With Rich Babjak, Matt Ankeny, Todd Morgan, Jim Colinear, John Harr, and Al Kabana all contributing double-digit rounds in Week 15, this is a six-deep roster that can produce 67-point team nights — and in a top-4-counts format, that is an extremely dangerous team to chase down.
Week 16 brings the Back Nine back into rotation on Wednesday, August 5th. New handicaps in effect, full bags on the cart, and a Period 3 title still very much up for grabs. Do not miss it.
See everyone on the 10th tee. ⛳
