Butcher, McAtee, Johnson and Huff Triumph

In Saturday's Manager's Scramble, Terry Butcher, TJ McAtee, Curt Johnson and Josh Huff squeaked by three other teams by a single stroke with a score of three under to take home the trophy for the day. Terry had a chip in for birdie alone with a twenty foot putt to help capture the win. In this modified scramble where the participants played their own ball on the par threes, the winners managed to come in with a minus two on those holes while the other teams struggled with a combined six over. Tied for second with scores of two under were the teams of Dave Wininger, Mike Kidwell, Joe Allen and Tom Holt in one squad and Mark Sherer, Mike Bird and Wayne Souerdike in another. Bringing up the rear with a score at the even mark were Mark Jeffers, Trenton Kidwell and Kevin Byron. The Wininger, Kidwell, Allen and Holt team dug themselves a hole on their first two holes, giving away what in effect was four strokes with a par on #2 and a bogey/double bogey on #3; they recovered their poise and came in at five under on the remaining seven holes, including a double birdie on #7, falling one shot shy of the winners' circle. The winners also doubled birdied #7.
