The golf course remains soaked from the recent rains. The emergency spillways and fairways four, six and eight have been especially affected by the surplus of water and offer golfers a watery path to the greens. Play has been shortened on both #6 and #8 to allow golfers the opportunity to avoid the majority of the puddling.
Saturday Scramble
Johnson, Bird and Johnson Win on Last Hole
On Saturday, April 5th, the team of Kevin Johnson, Mike Bird and Curt Johnson lost a two stroke lead at hole #7, tied up the match with 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 Wininger, Mike and Trenton Kidwell, and Karry Stoll. At hole #7, Trenton Kidwell's iron shot 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. Higher temperatures probably had much to do with that.
LeagueTuesday Men's League and Thursday's Senior League get started this week. Results of the season opening two person scrambles can be viewed online after the events at www.golflakeview.com.
