Senior League Results Event 12

Results are posted. Highlights:

Mike Anderson cruised around the course picking up pars at each hole and came in at 35, the low gross for the day. Mike Bird came in second with a 37 and also got the hole prize on #3. Low net was claimed by Diane Bird with a nifty 27 on a 47 gross. Diane is just back for a week on the West Coast and four golf outings on California courses with her sister. Diane thinks playing a lot of golf helped her confidence and that helped her game today. Second in low net was shared by Don Lannan, Ward Smith and Mike Anderson with 30's. Low net team was the Wilma Bateman and Diane Bird team with a low nine under; Dave Strange and Ward Smith, playing for Clyde Wake, shot a five under. Ward and Dave played the leaders, Richard Swayze and Mike Bird, and took them to town and then out to the wood shed, winning 11 of the 14 points. Still, at the end of the day, Richard and Mike remain atop the team standings with 104 points; Jack Lents and Jim Bateman are in second place with 98.5 points. In the Individual competition, Jack Lents jumped into first place with 391 points; Richard Swayze is still very close at 390 points; Mike Bird is in third at 380 points and Charlie Sheetz is in fourth with 374 points. Other highlights: Birdies for the day were picked up by Jack Butcher on two, Mike Bird on six, and Ward Smith on eight. Ward's birdie was earned with the sinking of a fifteen foot putt that also got him the prize for longest putt. Other hole prize winners were Richard Swayze on #7 and Jack Nickless, subbing for Rex Hudson, on #9. Group average gross was 46.8, just about even with last week's 46.7.
