Souerdike, Byron and Doyle Win Saturday Scramble

Wayne Souerdike, Kevin Byron and Joe Doyle used the erratic and symmetrical approach on their way to a scramble win this Saturday. Three birdies, three pars and three bogeys brought them into the clubhouse right where they started nine holes before, and that was good enough to get them into a card draw for the trophy. The teams of Darvin Knepp, Joe Allen and Verlyn Knepp on one hand, and Mike Bird, Curt Johnson and Dan Brock on the other, both came in at even pars as well, though they each used the more common approach with a birdie, a bogey and a bunch of pars. Pam Byron was called on to make the card draw that would determine the winners, and found one that made her son, Kevin, a happy young man. Along with Wayne Souerdike and Joe Doyle.

Senior League Results Event 12

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 from 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.

Tuesday Men Event 12 Results

Mike Smith found a birdie on #2 and fired his first sub 40 round of the year, a 39 with a net of 30. Richie Green followed his best round with a not so good round of 60; big brother Eddie was back from a week away from the links and shot a 42 gross and a net 35 that put him in a tie for third place in the Individual standings. Phil Eyler turned in a score of 34 that included birdies on the first two holes and the last hole but also a couple of bogeys on two of the three short holes, numbers three and seven. Bill Carrico, like Richie Green, followed his best round ever with a very forgettable one, a 52 that followed a scintillating 38 of the week before. Terry Padgett was delighted with the three birdies he found at holes four, five and seven as well as the near hole in one at seven; three bogeys and a double made it a roller coaster ride and a final score of 37. Another bad round followed a very good round: James Hager did the middle three holes at one under but played the front three and the back three in eight over for a 42, a hefty ten stroke advance on his 32 of the previous week. Chris Bledsoe followed his best ever round with a good 41 which included his first ever birdie, at #6, and a very good net of 32. Short Jeffers came in with a 37 and had eight birdie putts, none of which fell into the cup. Warren Atkison shot a superb 40 and a net 27 to take low net honors. Greg Potts and Dan Steiner, who, by the way, tied playing partner Dave Wininger with a 40, shot net 29's for second place. Low Gross went to Phil Eyler's 34 with Terry Butcher and Mark Potts placing second with their 35's. The low net team score was posted by Tim Voegerl and Warren Atkison with a dandy 64. Hole prizes were claimed by Joe Allen on #3, Terry Padgett on #7, Larry Sutton on #8, and Terry Butcher on #9. Group average score rose to 43.52, up from 42.90 the previous week, in spite of the very nice weather and the absence of the biting midges.
