Tuesday Men on the stage

A little history: Five years ago today John Walker had three birdies (on 1, 2 and 7) and shot the low of the day with a 33; Gary Burris had the lone eagle (at #6). Eddie David and Stewart Blake, you remember them, shot the low net scores, a 28 and a 29 on gross scores of 43 and 41. John's 33 was the only score of par or better though 21 of the 43 players had net par or better. Average gross score for the day was 42.4.

Today, three golfers head into play with zero handicaps: Phil Eyler, Terry Butcher and Short Jeffers. Terry Padgett and Gary Burris still sit at the top of the Team standings - seems as if they have been there forever. Noah Callahan will be looking for another sub 40 round to stay on top in the Individual competition - lots of wannabes itching to knock him from that spot. Course conditions: fairways hard and fast; greens: soft and not so fast; roughs and surrounds: high and fluffy. Weather: sunny and hot. Sounds like a good day for fun at the golf course. And a bunch of low scores.
