Tuesday Men Results

The results for event 16 are posted. My notes from the golf course:

Bryant Trambaugh turned in his card with a smile on his face: he followed last week’s 37 with a nifty 40 this week. That would be a net 31 for Bryant. Rob Sterling had to play early as well, went out with the Green brothers, and carded a 45 gross and a 31 net; change of playing partners helped this time. Skip Ackerman hit one out of bounds on #5 and then drove the green with his 2nd tee shot; he finished his round with a 39, net 32. First eagle of the day was claimed by Steven Downey who chipped one in at #4; the rest of his round was pretty good with a few birdies offset by a few bogies giving him a 33 gross and a super fine 30 net. Jim Murphy came in and said he was ready to stop golfing; he had just shot a 39 gross, a net 28, and said that was pretty darn good for him. Of course, he was only joking - about stopping golfing - he did shoot the 39. Kevin Byron took the afternoon off and then came out early and shot a super 40 with a net 29; tied his dad with the 40. Trenton Kidwell and Chris Bledsoe managed to birdie #4 but that turned out to be the highlight in a disappointing round for each of them, a 40 and a 42. TJ McAtee and sub Josh Hawkins each shot solid rounds of 37 and 41 and netted a team score of 64. Jon Boyd subbed for Tyler Kidwell, shot a 39 and had his eagle putt on #4 come up about this far (think a tiny bit) from dropping in. Short Jeffers had three birdies, four pars and a single bogey to come in with the 2nd 33 of the day. Brent Dalrymple subbed for Dave Strange, shot a 38 with a birdie and a hole prize on #3, and a net 30. Dave Wininger shot one under over the last four holes; the first five were something else in his round of 40.

Update Wednesday morning: The wrap: Short Jeffers and Steven Downey's 33's were the low gross scores for the day while Jim Murphy's 28 was the low net. Don Nolan and Kevin Byron tied for second place in low net with 29's. Low net for a team was turned in by Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy, playing separately, with a more than decent 59. Hole prizes were claimed by Brent Dalrymple at #3, Mike Breeden at #7, Ryan Johnson at #8, and Terry Padgett at #9. Leaders remained the same with Noah Callahan staying in front of charging Kevin Byron and Jim Murphy in the Individual competition. In Team play, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris keep rolling on with Todd Baker and Noah Callahan, and Mark Sherer and Josh Huff giving chase in second and third place. Average gross score was 42.23, down more than a stroke from the previous week. (Hard fairways make for longer drives; would expect most golfers to agree that length, off the tee box, really does matter.)
