Tuesday Men Highlights

With the rain event declared, only thirty-seven of the sixty some League members got their rounds in yesterday. Highlights:

Tuesday Men

Rains in the area and a ‘rain event’ was declared. Still, lots of golfers came out and played and one even got a hole-in-one. That would be Skip Ackerman, as noted in a previous blog. Mike Arvin, knowing that the 'rain event' canceled all hole prizes (they double up next week), started a collection for Skip - it's somewhere around $10 through yesterday. Of course, some were wondering where they should go for the traditional free drink. And does that free drink go to just the people in the foursome? or maybe the golfers on the course? or maybe even the entire Tuesday Men's League roster?

Of note: Steven Downey had some excitement of his own, finding an eagle at #2 in a round of 37. John Drake came back from a week off and shot a 39; that would be a very nifty net 26. A couple of zero handicappers, Phil Eyler and Short Jeffers, made it look easy with rounds of 34 and 35. Bill Carrico did some 24 strokes better than he did five years ago, bringing in a card with a score of 42; that's a net 29. Scott Arthur and Dave Wininger both birdied #7, Scott’s shot coming within eight inches of the cup. A second hole-in-one would have been nice. Noah Callahan did not have the kind of round he wanted. The leader of the pack played bogey golf with only one par (on #7) and that negated by a double bogey on #9; that gave him a 44 for the day with a net 38. That's good news for some of his chasers, including Bryant Trambaugh who continued his improved play with a score of 40 gross and net 32. Jim Murphy will also benefit; he shot a 43 gross and a net 33. In spite of the very questionable weather, twenty-three of the thirty-seven golfers shot net par or better. Group average gross score: 42.6.

Reminder: Golfers who have yet to complete their rounds have until the end of play next Tuesday to get them in.
