Tuesday Men Results

Results are posted for the August 5th rain event and the August 12th current event. Note: A big thanks to all the Tuesday Men who help keep the golf course a very neat place to come and play some golf with a friend or two. Comments from the golf course:

Update - Wednesday morning:

The wrap: Low net scores for the day belonged to Charlie Lyon with a 28 and Tim Voegerl with a 29. Terry Butcher turned in the low gross score, a 33, with Todd Baker and Dave Wininger also going low with 34's. Low net team score at 63 was turned in by two teams: Dave Wininger and Dan Steiner along with Tim Voegerl and Warren Atkison. Hole prizes were claimed by Dan Steiner, Tyler Kidwell and James Hager with long putts; and Trenton Kidwell and Dave Wininger (twice) with close to the pin shots. The 'Go-for-it' contest leaders after the first week (it's a three week contest) are Tom McAtee at #4. His shot came to rest about two feet from the barrel some 180 yards from the tee box. Mark Sherer put one just over ten feet from the pin at #5, some 300 yards from the tee box. At the close of play, leaders in the standings are Todd Baker and Noah Callahan with 660 points in the Team competition. Mark Sherer and Josh Huff are breathing down their necks just eight points back. Jim Murphy jumped to the top of the Individual standings with 1201 points; last week's leader, Noah Callahan, is a scant five points back in second place. Bryant Trambaugh is in third with 1163 points. Average gross score for the event was 42.97, just a bit higher than the previous week.

Tuesday Men

Tracy Rayhill finished with a birdie on #9, even had a par on #7, but didn’t much like the rest of the story - he finished with a 47. Eddie Green found a birdie on #2 and shot seven strokes better than his round for last week; he brought in a 41 gross and a net 32. Tom McAtee, playing early, apparently took the ‘Go-for-it’ contest very seriously; his tee shot on #4 came to rest within a couple of fee of the barrel some 180 yards down the fairway. Now he has to wait another two weeks to see if it will hold up; of course, somebody may have beat him already (Tuesday, 5pm). Mark Jones had himself a pretty good day at the golf course and would have done a bunch better if he hadn’t given away three strokes on the last two holes. Mark shot a gross 39, a net 32. ‘Ace’ Ackerman followed his hole-in-one round of a week ago with a round of 38 though he did manage to bogey #7 (where he got his ace). Charlie Lyon had an excellent round of 41 which included going one over for the last six holes; the 41 translates to a very nifty 28 net. Playing partner Phil Eyler, who was one of many getting back to school this week, had a dismal day at the golf course, firing a 40 with a plus one handicap; that would be a net 41. Ouch. Another ouch goes to Steven Downey who found himself one under after two but then finished with a not so nice plus ten over the last seven holes to come in at 44. Terry Butcher was even after three but then eagled four and birdied seven and nine; add a few bogies to the mix and call it a sterling round of 33. Playing partner Joe Doyle did ok for himself, coming in with a gross 45 and a net 34. Rob Sterling likes his trend line: 46, 45, and now a 44, his best nine holes of the season. Chad Wade subbed for George Templin and shot a super 41 gross and a net 30; could have been better except for a thriple bogey on ‘crazy’ hole #8. Tim Voegerl had himself a pretty good round, a 40 which included a birdie on #5; that would be a net 29. Playing partner Warren Atkison got a couple of birdies in his round of 42, one on #4 and one on #7. Jack Divine brought a friend to ride along with him; she must have inspired him – he shot a 44 gross and a net 32. His playing partner, Short Jeffers had birdies on two and four but plus four on the other holes to come in with a 37. Mark Sherer, back from surgery, hit a monster drive on #5 and is the current leader in the ‘Go for it’ contest at that hole. His ball stopped 10’11.5”s from the pin. He also birdied #2, #5 and #7 in a round of 36. Brent Dalrymple, filling in for Josh Huff, shot a 41 gross and a 32 net (he also subbed for Josh in the August 5th rain event and shot his best ever round, a 37). Todd Baker also had a rider and she provided inspiration as well. Todd had a round of 34 with three birdies, one at #2, and the other two at #8 and #9. Dave Wininger closed well, too. He found a bird and a hole prize at #7, and then picked up the hole prize on #9 as well. The round of 34 was pretty nice, too.
