Tracy Rayhill gets his first par round

Local golfer Tracy Rayhill had his very first par round on Friday, June 27th. He carded a 35 which included three birdies and a couple of putts that got hung up on the lip. As he said, "It could have been better."

Just good golf: Wininger, Potts, Arvin and Trambaugh Triumph

In the Saturday morning modified scramble, the team of Dave Wininger, Greg Potts, Mike Arvin and Bryant Trambaugh had an almost perfectly steady round of golf. With birdies on every scramble hole except eight, and there a par, and two pars on two of the three short holes, the team's only falter was on three where they came in with a bogey. The teams of Doug Denson, Wayne Souerdike, Kevin Byron and Joe Doyle shared second place with the team of Mike Bird, Larry Hembree and Curt Johnson, each at one under. On the sixth hole, Denson's drive, Souerdike's approach and Byron's putt produced the only eagle of the day. On holes four, five and six, clutch putting by both Larry Hembree and Curt Johnson produced birdies for the Bird team. Stumbles, or the lack thereof, on the par threes where golfers played their own balls, again were decisive.

Senior League Results Event 11

Low net round of the day was posted by Allen Swayze and Pam Byron; each shot seven under in their rounds. Allen was also part of the low net team score of the day; he and Charlie Sheetz came in at 63. Second low team scores were posted by Jack Lents and Jim Bateman along with Ken Hudson and Carroll Rayhill at 64. A note: super sub Morris Cornelius has been filling in superbly for Carroll Rayhill these last several weeks; Morris shot a 43 today, a nifty net 30. Albert Kavanaugh got himself two birdies and two hole prizes to go along with the low gross of the day, a 38. His playing partner Mike Anderson, along with Jack Lents, shot 39's. Claiming the other two hole prizes were Dave Brown on #7 and Don Lannan on #8. Other birdie finders were Dave Brown and Bob Elliott on #7, Mike Anderson on #8, and Dale DeLong and Kenny Hudson on #9.

Tuesday Men Results Event 11

New leaders in the Team competition: Terry Padgett and Gary Burris wrested the top position from Larry Sutton and Brent Courter with the capable help of super sub Kyle Jones; Terry and Kyle each shot 38's for a team net score of 63. In Individual competition, Noah Callahan remains on top with 803 points with James Hager nipping at his heels with 787 points. James had the low gross of the day, coming in with a brilliant 32 which included four birdies and the wish that he could par #5 every now and then (he does, but not this week). Terry Butcher and Todd Baker each shot 34's while Phil Eyler and Mark Jeffers each shot even par at 35. Phil also claimed the hole prize on #7 with a shot that came to rest about two inches behind the stick. Low net score was claimed by Bill Carrico with a super 25 on his best ever round of 38. Richie Green also had his best ever round, a 46, and came in with a net 26. The Carrico/Parsons team got the low net round of the day with a 58; Trenton Kidwell and Chris Bledsoe came in second with a 61 with Chris also posting his best ever score, a 37. Other hole prizes were claimed by Curt Johnson on #3, Junior Byron on #8, and Mark Jones on #9. Of note: Two thirds of the players came in with a net par or better. Group average was 42.90, down from 43.44.
