Tuesday Men, come on down!

History Lesson: Back in 2003 on this date, Short Jeffers had the low gross of the day with a 35 while George Templin had the low net, a 28. No eagles but three players got two birdies: Bob Gilley, Shannon Bratton and Short. Doug Denson had eight pars. Junior Byron was leading the Individual competition while Scott Callison and Mark Sutton were on top in the Team standings. Bill Carrico probably had the worst golfing day of his life, maxing out on six of the nine holes - hope somebody gave him a 'forget' pill. Dave Wininger and Short Jeffers played with zero handicaps that day; Phil Eyler and Doug Denson each had one handicaps. Average gross score for the event was 42.08.

Back to the future: Has anybody noticed that Greg Potts is carrying a two handicap? Both last week and today? That's right there with the big boys. Noah Callahan, leader of the pack, shot a 38 in his Community League round last night; expect he would love to have a 38 today as well - may I suggest a 37? And as long as I'm suggesting, how about a 37 for Bill Carrico as well, which if I remember correctly, would be just a thin one stroke lower than his best round ever several weeks back. Fairways are a little fast and the greens are soft though somebody mentioned yesterday that they were fast - I like that. The surrounds remain fluffy and you will no doubt pay a price if you miss the green, at least some of the time. Expect today's average gross score to be around what it was five years ago but probably not as good - hasn't been that low yet this year. Prove me wrong, guys.

Of note: The two contests I mentioned a week or so ago will take place for three weeks starting next week (August 12, 19 and 26). There will be a Long and Accurate contest, closest to the pin at #5, and a Short and Accurate contest, closest to the barrel on #4. Look for sign up sheets at the clubhouse.
