Tuesday Men Memorial Week

I see the weather people are calling for a 'few showers' till 3pm then just plain old 'showers' after that. Well, hope it doesn't materialize till after dark and the Tuesday Men show does go on. Mother Nature has been very good to the Tuesday bunch so far this year - bless her.

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.
