Senior League Highlights for Event 15

Carroll Rayhill returned to golfing, did a practice round on Wednesday, then came out and carded a 45; that would be shooting his handicap. Pretty good for a guy who has been preoccupied most of the year. Allen Swayze had the low net score with a round of 30 on a gross of 53. That helped him and Charlie Sheetz shoot a team net score of 64, low for the event. Mike Anderson started his round by chipping one in for eagle on #4 and then ended it by getting his shot on #3 close enough to claim the hole prize. His 38 was good for second place in low gross. Wayne Pearl had five pars in his round of 40 gross and a net 33. Mike Bird found birdies on #4 and #8 to go along with six pars and a bogey for a 34 and the low gross of the day; his net 32 was good for second place in that category and his long birdie putt on #8 claimed a hole prize. Other hole prize winners were Al Kavanaugh on #9 and Rex Hudson on #7. Average gross score for the event was 47.54, a sharp hike from the 45.66 of a week ago (blame it on the rain and the slowed down fairways). At the end of play, Swayze and Bird remained on top in Team competition, leading Lents and Bateman by twelve points. In Individual competition, Mike Bird at 510 points is thirty-five in front of Al Kavanaugh and sixty ahead of Jack Lents.
