Fun Tournament Results

The Senior League's Fun Tournament was held this Thursday with five teams playing a modified scramble - golfers played their own balls on the par threes with the low two scores counting as the team score; the remaining holes were played in traditional scramble fashion. The results have two teams shooting 88's, even par for the round. Rick Anderson, Jim Leonard, Ray Shaw and Bob Elliott used the only eagle of the day, on #2, to help offset a plus seven on the par threes, for their 88. That drew them even with the team of Mike Bird, Dave Brown, Kim Jones and Pam Byron who covered the par threes in a plus five and found an equal number of birdies. Third place was taken by Jack Butcher, John Chapman, Vic Wallace, Clyde Wake and Shirley Jeffers with a score of two over par 90. Mike Anderson, Dick Barber, and Denny and Sharon Wagoner shot a 91 for fourth place. Al Kavanaugh hit a bomb of a putt on his team's first hole, #8, a putt that covered thirty some feet. That putt gave Al the long putt hole prize but turned out to be the highlight of their play. Richard Swayze, Diane Bird and Charlie Sheetz joined Al and watched as putt after putt came up lacking in the following seventeen holes. Their team came in with a seven over par 95. Sharpshooters for the day along with Al were Ray Shaw for his close to the barrel shot at #2, and Dave Brown and Jack Butcher for their close to the pin shots on #7 and #9. Prior to the start of play, chipping and putting contests were held. Mike Anderson won the putting prize while Pam Byron captured the chipping prize.
