The results are posted. Notes from the golf course:
Mark Jones brings in a card seven strokes off of last week’s 39 but was very happy with his drive on #5 – happened to hit the cart path and roll a mile – he put his name down on the prize marker. Noah Callahan shot a 38 and was very happy with that; his playing partner, Todd Baker, playing without a rider this week, went south with a score plus thirteen over the 34 he turned in just seven days ago. Gary LaMar and Virgil played early and had superior rounds – Gary a 43 gross and a net 30, Virgil a 46 gross and a net 34. That’s a pretty good team score of 64. John Drake got himself another sub 40 round, a 39; that’s a net 27. Tracy Rayhill was happier with his round of 41 which included birds on the long holes. Buck Holland came close to getting an eagle on #4 but his six foot putt wouldn’t fall into the cup. Bent Courter had a round of 41 gross and 29 net and a birdie on #7. Terry Padgett shot a 37, a net 32, and got his shot at #7 six inches closer to the hole than up-to-then hole prize winner Brent Courter. He also made the putt for birdie, as did Brent earlier. Playing partner Gary Burris played his consistent old self, firing a 41 and a net 35. Kevin Byron started with a putting bomb on #1, some 40 plus feet, went on to get four more pars before coming down to earth and finished the last five holes with a plus eight to come in with a 43 gross and a net 34. Playing partner and dad, Junior, shot a 38 with a net 34. Another father/son combo faired rather well as well: Tyler Kidwell shot a 36 with an eagle on #2 and a birdie on #8 while Dad Mike shot a 37 with a birdie on #4. The nets: a 32 and a 33 for a super team net of 65. James Hager found out he could chip one in the hole on command; his approach shot on #6 came to rest just off the back side and it was suggested that he just chip it in for his birdie. He did just that in a round of 34 that included a birdie at #4 as well. Tim Voegerl got his first eagle ever at #2 with a putt from just off the green that traveled a good twenty feet; he also found a birdie on #5, missed two or three short putts and came in with a nifty round of 39 which translates to a super net of 28. Playing partner Warren Atkison also did well on #2, finding a birdie in a round of 42. Dave Wininger and teammate Dan Steiner shot a net 62 as a team. Dave found birdies on the long holes and shot a 34; Dan shot a more than solid 42 which translated to a net 30. Fives are wild on Scott Arthur’s scorecard: he ran off seven fives in a row before finishing with a four and a three for a round of 42, net 33.
