Gregg, Bedy, Wingrove dominate May Quads!
Bill Wingrove, Noel Bedy and Alan Gregg were unscathed by the losing bug, as each posted 2.5/3 points to claim first place cash in the Action Quads hosted at the PHCC on May 16, 2019, in contests punctuated by a pair of super-swindles! Yes, once again, the deceitful experience of age bested the impetuosity of youth to carry the day and skulk off with the ill-gotten point in each of their respective sections.
Noel Bedy committed the ultimate blunder by dropping his queen to relative novice, Jay Defoy, only to recoup the coveted royal through a nefarious fork a few moves later! Lon, on the other hand dropped a knight without compensation in the middle-game, stunned his youthful adversary with a one-two TKO in the waning moments of his game against Josh Muir and emerged undeservingly victorious.
The final stanza of this monthly Action trifecta will take place on June 20th, but since Alan and Matt Morabito will be off traversing the environs of the UK and Italy respectively, outcomes could be a lot different! Hope to see you for this premier event! Be sure to check out the games in the Members section to view these spectacular swindles!

Diane Rutkofske to offer new embroidered 50th Anniversary PHCC logo shirts for 2019!
Diane Rutkofske, obviously Lon’s talented, better half, is quick to get on the 50th anniversary bandwagon with a special deal! She plans to offer interested PHCC members embroidered polo shirts with a new 50th anniversary logo for the coming year. You have probably seen some of her wonderful work on shirts worn by many members of our club, and we already have orders from Avery Jones, Bill Wingrove, Noel Bedy, and of course, Lon for this 2019 version.
The embroidery fee will be around $15 (…less than the going market rate for embroidered designs.), but if Diane can purchase appropriate, quality polo shirts ( long or short sleeve) in a variety colors at a reasonable rate ($15-$20)that will of course be added to the total purchase price. Shown below is the new logo design, but with the new version thread colors may vary, dependent on the color of the shirt (See choices below.)! Let Lon know if you are interested in ordering a shirt!
