Wayne and Curt on the tee box
Photo: Wayne and Curt getting ready to tee off this morning. Liked it enough to post it all by itself. Don't remember what it was they were reacting to - yes, I do - it was the Amish gentleman and his horse and buggy.
Potts, Bird, Stoll and Doyle Triumph
Greg Potts, Mike Bird, Karry Stoll and Joe Doyle prevailed in the Saturday Manager's scramble. A birdie chip in by Greg on #8 and then two up and downs from just off the green on #9 gave the team a score of one under in the modified scramble. The team of Wayne Souerdike, Junior Byron, Curt Johnson and Delbert Stoll came in a stroke back at even par, finding the short #7 hole again being a bear of a place to make par. The team's double bogey on that hole bordering the lake and just short enough to throw one's game all out of whack, hurtled them from a possible one stroke victory to a one stroke loss.

Saturday Scramble, Curt and Bric, Bo and Lady Godiva
Forgot to mention earlier that Curt and Bric brought to my attention their combined score on #6 yesterday - a sterling 10. You remember that they turned in a 20 (two tens) on the same hole just ten days ago, something that was duly noted by yours truly, my saying something about 'perfect tens'. BTW, Bric remembered, or never forgot, that it was Bo Derek that had that moniker some twenty years ago - was it that long? longer? Just googled it - a 1979 movie with the title 10. That would make it just about thirty years ago. My oh my. Go here for a picture of Bo making like that famous naked lady riding a horse bareback (Lady Godiva).
Kidwell's Eagle, Community League Action, Couples, Putting Photo
A couple of notes on yesterday's happenings at the golf course:
-Mike Kidwell eagled #2 by rolling in a 25 footer just off the green using his three wood. Neat trick.
-Tarry Bratton dragged Karry Stoll out to the golf course after dinner where they played their initial round in the Community League. Patty Bowling did the same with Wilma Bateman a little earlier in the day.
-Jim and Leanne Love were also out there after dinner as were Herb and Loretta Roach. And a lot of Tuesday Men made an appearance, getting in their rained out event of this past Tuesday. And a bunch of other golfers as well!
-Mike Arvin came out early in the day and dropped off a sign up sheet for the Summerfest golf scramble. It's posted on the bulletin board.

Seniors Event 7 Notes and Comments

Senior Golfers, Come on Down!
Course is in excellent condition. Bring your clubs and come on down and have fun.

June and Judy Photo
The two of them were out just the other day. Caught them finishing up on hole #2.
Expect some of the Tuesday Men to be out today, making up the game that was postponed with yesterday's afternoon storm. Today's pretty hefty winds will dry the course out some. Thursday Seniors tomorrow - looks like the weather is favorable.

Rain Events and a few other notes
During the heavier part of the storm, around 4 pm, all players on the course came off the course, leaving rounds to be finished at a later time. Junior and Kevin Byron came out a little later when there was a break in the rains and did get their rounds in - I went along just for fun. Even with the early light drizzle and then the heavier drizzle, the two of them did very well, Junior coming in with a 36 and Kevin a 44 which gave them a combined 6 under for their rounds.
Bob Norris, near 85 years old, showed up for his Community League initial event with Clyde Wake, an 83 year old. Bob found himself a birdie on #9, rolling in a 6' putt. First time in several years he has had a birdie. He also found that the drier fairways were giving his drives a much appreciated roll.
Tuesday Men Memorial Week
Five years ago in Tuesday Men: Leaders in Individual Competition: Greg Potts, closely followed by Wayne Souerdike, Junior Byron and Mark Potts. Team Competition: Potts and Potts had a three point lead on Atkison and Voegerl. Terry Butcher had low gross with a 35 with 9 pars on his scorecard; Junior Byron shot a 36 for second low. Skip Ackerman had the low net with a 28 (37 gross) with Junior coming in second again with a net 30; Terry Butcher, Murray Stuckey and Jim Murphy had net 31's. Weather was partly sunny with a high of 81.
Back here in 2008, it's about time to start thinking about which A player will get to the magical zero handicap first. Dave Wininger is sitting close with a one this week while Doug Denson, Phil Eyler, James Hager and Trenton Kidwell all have twos; super sub Mark Potts is beyond the zero mark with his gaudy +2 handicap.
Leaders as we go into today's play: Sutton and Courter in the team competition and Dave Wininger is up on James Hager by a slim four points in the Individual standings. Today is also week two of the Individual Handicapped Tournament. Noah Callahan is on top with his gaudy net 27 last Tuesday; Tim Voegerl sits in second place at 29.
Eric and Junior have the course looking lovely and the ball is actually starting to roll a bit in the fairways. If the rains hold off, guess we should see some good golfing today.

Tribune article for the week
Two Scramble Winners at Lakeview
The Saturday morning scramblers at Lakeview Golf Course divided themselves into a nine hole bunch and an eighteen hole bunch for fun and games this Memorial Day weekend. The eighteen hole event, a six hole scramble, a six hole best ball and a six hole alternate shot game, was played by twelve golfers with the team of Doug Denson, Mark Sherer and Kevin Byron firing a two under par to take the trophy. At even par were the teams of Short Jeffers, Mike Bird and Karry Stoll, and Terry Butcher, Derek Gilbertson and Gary Knepp. Fourth place honors went to the team of Dave Wininger, Junior Byron and Rob Sterling with a score of three over par. Of note: the Jeffers team had the best scramble score at four under; the Butcher team had the best Best Ball score at a plus one; and the Denson team had the best Alternate Shot score with a one under.The Denson team sealed its win by coming in at minus one on the final three holes; by contrast, the Butcher team fell from contention by bogeying the last two holes. Double bogeys on #9 and #15 sank the Jeffers team while the Wininger team fired a five over par on holes ten, eleven and twelve to minimize its chance of victory.
In the nine hole scramble, Mike and Trenton Kidwell paired with Jack and Jordan Divine to best the team of Tyler Kidwell, Wayne Souerdike and Greg Potts.
Seniors Event 6 Notes and Comments:
In the Thursday Senior League, Bob Norris shot a net 29 and Jim Bateman shot a net 31 for the low net scores of the day. Team low net was shot by Mike Anderson and Albert Kavanaugh with a 68.

Richard Swayze and Mike Bird continue to lead the pack in the Team competition. In Individual play, Jack Lents tumbled to third with his humbling round of 48 and surrendered first place to Richard Swayze. Average gross score for the group was 48.9, down from the 50+ of last week. Vic Wallace's 50 was low man in his group (which included Dale DeLong, Allen Swayze and Charlie Sheetz) and his birdie on #5 allowed him to come in first in the eighteen hole Individual Handicapped Tournament with a net score of 68. Jack Butcher and Richard Swayze's 69's gave them a share of 2nd place while Bob Norris shared fourth with Mike Bird with scores of 70.
Tuesday Men Event 6 Results:

Jason Rominger and Mike Bird teamed up to shoot a net 64 and share the team low net with the team of Mike Albertson and Mark Jones. Larry Sutton returned from Africa and paired with Mark Anderson to keep the Sutton/Courter team in first place just ahead of Terry Padgett and Gary Burris; they turned in scores of 42 and 39. Hole prizes went to Terry Butcher on #3, Dan Steiner on #7, Greg Potts on #8, and Mark Anderson on #9. Average gross of 44.30 was slightly better than last week's 44.52. Other highlights: Ryan Johnson got an eagle on #4; Short Jeffers took a quadruple bogey on the same hole and shot even par on the other eight holes. The team of Curt Johnson and Bric Parker had fun on #6, each taking ten strokes to get the ball in the hole.Sunday, May 25, 2008
Number nine green gatherings
Photos: two different groups of golfers finishing up on #9 late this afternoon. Jim and Leanne Love along with Bruce Wade and Lacey Denson - looks like Leanne is showing Bruce the finer points of putting; four campers (and fishermen) with four balls nicely surrounding the flag - a fifth golfer is just off camera.
Memorial Day tomorrow. Got the Bramble Scramble starting at 8am - a 20 some group that is playing nine holes.

They teamed up to shoot a net 64 which shared the low net for the day.

-Weston Muessig bogeyed the first hole then parred out for his sterling 36.

-Average gross of 44.30 was slightly better than last week's 44.52.

Seniors play tomorrow - in between the raindrops
Yes we are hoping that we don't have to play in between the raindrops. One rainout is quite enough in a season and we had that last week. By the way, that rainout has been rescheduled for August 7th. As with last week, we'll keep a close eye on the weather and post a delay or postponement by 7:30 if there is one. Otherwise we start play at 8am. It is wet out there so bring an extra pair of socks; and your rubber ducky if you want to...
Clyde
Clyde was with Bob and Richard and he just missed a putt. Didn't seem to bother him at all other than to make him break out in a big smile. The man knows how to enjoy his game.

Boat People Photo
While Tuesday Men played golf, others rode on still waters and fished for edibles.
Update Wednesday noon: Late yesterday afternoon, I was out with my camera and tripod taking pictures of the golfers when the gentleman on the left in the boat called out that he would take an 8x10. So I took a picture and let him know where he could find it. Hope he finds it; it's a good one.

-Weston Muessig shoots a 39 which includes a couple of double bogies and an eagle.
-Mike Albertson comes in with a 47 and saying something about an ‘S’ word.
-Trenton Kidwell starts off with a birdie and follows that with two bogies but finds another birdie at #6 to come in with an even par.
-Sutton/Courter team vaults into first place with Sutton in Africa.
Pictures and maybe more comments later.
Tuesday Men - Another Chance for Glory
Five years ago in the Tuesday league, Mark Potts led the Individual competition with Tim Voegerl and Warren Atkison ahead in the Team. Dave Wininger shot a 35 and Shannon Bratton, Mark Potts, Mark Jeffers and Phil Eyler shot 37's. Joe Allen had a net 29 and Shannon Bratton a net 30. Average gross score for the day was 44.56. Weather was sunny and mild with temperatures ranging from the 70's to the 50's. (Do things change much?)
