Senior League Results Event 10

The results are posted. All the seniors showed up and all of them stuck around to finish their rounds. So, I think the bugs have met their match. Highlights and comments:

Junior Byron chipped one in on #4 for his first eagle of the year; partner Pam Byron also did well with a par five on the hole and finishes with a gross 45 and a stupendous net 22. Wow! Jack Butcher had the most pars with five; Mike Bird the most birdies with two; and Junior Byron had the lone eagle of the day. Vic Wallace and Dale DeLong had superior rounds of 46 and 47 and a team net of 58, second to the sterling 54 team score of Junior and Pam Byron. Vic and Dale think maybe the bugs had something to do with their improved play but we decided that they were not welcome to stick around. In spite of the presence of the bugs, the average gross score continued to go down with a group average of 47.23, just about three quarters of a stroke better than last week. Twenty-four of the thirty-one players came in with a net par or better. Hole prizes were claimed by super sub Tom McAtee on #3, Sam Potts on #7, Kenny Hudson on #8 and Mike Anderson on #9. Leaders at the end of the day: Mike Bird and Richard Swayze lead Jack Lents and Jim Bateman by eleven points in Team competition; Mike Anderson and Albert Kavanaugh are thirteen and a half back. In Individual competition, Junior Byron climbed to the top with 336 points though closely followed by Richard Swayze at 335 points; Albert Kavanaugh at 327 and Virgil Harper at 319 are in third and fourth place. Of note: Charlie Sheetz and Allen Swayze saved their best for their ninth hole of the day, each of them getting pars at #2; Allen’s was his very first par of the year. It was suggested that they might want to show up a little earlier next week to play a few practice holes, like maybe eight. They both grunted something in reply, like "Oh yea, that's a great idea!"
