Johnson, Bird and Johnson Win on Last Hole

The team of Kevin Johnson, Mike Bird and Curt Johnson lost a two stroke lead at hole #7, tied the match up on pars by the Johnsons on #8 and then won on #9 when Kevin and Mike were able to get up and down for pars. Playing in very wet but mild conditions, the winners were up against the team of Dave Winger, Mike and Trenton Kidwell, and Karry Stoll. Trenton Kidwell's iron shot at #7 came to rest just inches from the hole giving him a kick in birdie. Dave Wininger followed that with a par putt that gave their team a score of five on the hole, three better than the other guys who made a mess of things with two bogies that wiped away their two stroke lead. The scramble was again modified with each golfer playing his own ball on the par threes and also on the shortened eighth where the fairway was well spotted with rain water not knowing where to go. Though there was a stray shot or two, for the most part the golfing was much better this week. I'm sure the higher temperatures had much to do with that.
