Doyle, Hembree, Kidwell and Kidwell Triumph in Scramble

They finished three under over the last two holes to steal a win. That would be the scramble team of Jeff Doyle, Larry Hembree, and father and son Mike and Tyler Kidwell. The foursome found magic late to take the Saturday morning scramble. Tyler Kidwell started the rally by finding a birdie all by himself on hole #8. The other three took care of the last hole: Jeff Doyle made a nifty up and down for par from behind the sand trap; and Mike Kidwell and Larry Hembree both made three foot putts for birdies. That gave them a final score of two under which was one stroke up on any other team. At one under was the team of Mike Bird, Greg Potts, Bryant Trambaugh and Gary Arvin. Strong putting by Greg Potts and a long putt by Mike Bird for birdie at #9 weren't quite enough to offset a bogey at #1 and a plus one score on #9. At even par was the team of Dave Wininger, Wayne Souerdike, Karry Stoll and Kevin Byron. At plus five on the day was the team of Doug Denson, Junior Byron, Mike Arvin and Joe Doyle. This was a modified scramble with golfers playing their own ball on the par threes and three of the four scores counting as the team score. Again, how you did on these short holes was critical to success. The top team was plus one on those holes; second place team was plus two; third place team, a plus four; and fourth place team, a mind boggling plus seven. Oh my.
