Community League Highlights

The Community League enters its final two weeks of the season this coming week and plays a team tournament in conjunction with the regular rounds. This past week, Karry Stoll found consecutive birdies on holes two and three in his round of 42. Jim Hart and Kent Summers also found birdies at the second hole. Tyler Walton shot a super 34, a round which included birdies on #6 and #9; the one on nine was off a tee shot that came to rest about two inches from the hole (golfers say: when they are that close, they really should drop in the hole). Richard Swayze got a birdie on #7 in a round of 41 while his playing partner, Tom Taylor shot his best round of the year, a 40. Shirley Jeffers fired her season low with a 56. Susie Chanley also had her best outing of the season, a 49 gross with a net 30; the 30 earned her low net score in both Women and Senior. Low net score for Men at 31 was achieved by several golfers: Bob Norris, Richard Swayze, Mike Arvin, Tom Taylor, Karry Stoll and Tyler Walton. Low Gross scores for the week belong to Tyler Walton (34) in Men, making him a double Low Score Winner; Wilma Bateman (48) in Women; and Richard Swayze (41), making him a double Low Score winner as well, and Bob Walton (41) in Seniors. Average gross score for the week was 47.23, down almost a stroke from the previous week and the new low for the year. League standings show Kent Summers and Noah Callahan with 194 points climbing into first place in Team for the first time in a race that is hotly contested. Several teams, including the second place teams of Hart and Hart, and Sheetz and Kneip, remain in contention for the top honors. In Individual play, Missy Kneip remains on top with 420 points; Noah Callahan is close behind in second with 412 points, and Jim Hart isn't far off in third with 391 points. That race, too, is far from over.
