Senior League Results Event 14

Results are posted. Highlights:

Al Kavanaugh had himself quite a day, birdieing both one and eight, finding six other holes with pars and settling for a bogey on five; that gave him a double low score, a 34 in the gross and a 29 in the net. Mike Bird wasn't far behind in the gross, picking up pars on each of the nine holes to come in with a 35. Jim Bateman followed Al in the net category just as closely, coming in with a gross 41 and a net 30; Jim also got himself a birdie on hole #2. Dave Brown and Richard Swayze also found birdies on #2; Dave also picked one up at hole #7 in his round of 42. Virgil Harper, who got his first career ace during the American Legion scramble at Eagle View this past Sunday, continued his sharpshooting by picking up the hole prize at #7; other hole prize winners include John Chapman at #3, Al Kavanaugh at #8, and Jack Butcher at #9. Leaders at the end of the day's play were Richard Swayze and Mike Bird in Team competition with 125.5 points, and Mike Bird in Individual competition with 462 points. In Team play, Dave Strange and Clyde Wake remain in second place with 115.5 points; tied for third at 114 points are the teams of Mike Anderson and Al Kavanaugh, and Jack Lents and Jim Bateman. In Individual competition, Al Kavanaugh sits in second place with 451 points, and Jack Lents is in third with 446 points. Average gross score for the day was 45.66, down almost a full stroke from the previous week. The drier fairways has improved the carry of the golf ball off of the tee, something which all of the seniors appreciate.
