Tuesday Men Results

Results are posted. Comments:

Heard that Virgil Harper got himself a hole-in-one up at Eagle View during the American Legion scramble. Back here at Lakeview, he finished with a par on #9 and a gross of 44; that would be a net 33 for the new Ace. Five years ago, Mark Jones brought the caboose in with a score of 59; today, a 39 – that would be a twenty stroke improvement which is verry nice. Steady eddie Phil Eyler shot an even par 35, finding a birdie on six to offset a bogey on three. John Walker and Skip Ackerman are hoping to vacate the cellar this week; each of them shot 39’s. Greg Potts had to thread a needle, actually a couple of trees, up by #4 green; he did it and then made a long putt for par and finished with a round of 36. Larry Sutton found two birdies, one at #5 and the other at #7 in shooting an excellent 39 gross and a net of 31. Mark Sherer got five fours to start his round and shot even par on the final four holes for a round of 35. Chris Bledsoe found a new low with a round of 36 that included four birdies, two double bogeys and two bogeys and a single par. Short Jeffers found one of those blinkety-blank bogeys on #2, one of those for sure birdie holes, but then went on to shoot pars and birdies to finish with a 34. Alan Burch stumbled on six, had a few choice words to say, and went on to finish with three pars for a 36. Kevin Byron took a triple bogey on #2 but did well enough on the other holes to come in with a 44 gross and a good net 32. Jared Butcher, subbing for dad Terry, also had a triple bogey, his on #1, and also evened out his game to come in with a 40 and a net 32 as well. Bryant Trambaugh had the low round of his life, firing a 37 which included a birdie on #8; the 37 translateed to a nifty net of 27. And that gave Bryant the low net round of the day. Second in that category was a tie at 28 between Don Nolan, Bric Parker and Tarry Bratton, who was subbing for Dave Strange. Low gross round was shot by Short Jeffers with his 34; second there was also a tie, 35's shot by Phil Eyler and Mark Sherer. Low net team score was a three way tie: Johnson and Parker, Downey and Strange (Bratton), and Walker and Ackerman. Hole prizes were gathered in by Bill Carrico on #3, Larry Sutton on #7, Bryant Trambaugh on #8, and Tim Voegerl on #9. Average gross score for the event was 42.35, more than a stroke better than last week's 43.44. Leaders at the end of the day were the same as last week: Terry Padgett and Gary Burris in Team competition, and Noah Callahan in Individual competition.
