Tuesday Men: Three to go...

Three events to go in this year's league play with the Flighted Tournament covering the last two. Time to get down to business and finish with a roar. First, a little history:

On this date five years ago, Brian Ader (42) and Dick Barber (43) had the low net scores of the day at 28 while Phil Eyler had the low gross at 33. Six different players came in with two birdies: Phil Eyler, Short Jeffers, Junior Byron, Scott Callison, Greg Potts and Dave Wininger. Shooting even 50's were Brent Courter, Ed David and Murray Stuckey; Mark Sutton and Mark Taylor each shot a 40. The day itself was sunny, hot and humid with temperatures in the 90's. Top of the Individual standings: Junior Byron, Wayne Souerdike, Mark Sutton, Tim Voegerl and John Foddrill. There was a tie at the top of the Team standings: Short Jeffers and Don Mills along with Joe Allen and John Foddrill.

Back here in 2008: The Go-for-it contest finishes up today with both the daily winners and the closest shots over the three events. Tom McAtee (just over two feet from the barrel in #4 fairway) and Mark Sherer (just over ten feet from the pin at #5) have the marks to beat if you want to claim the big prize ($25). And, in case you haven't noticed, both races, Team and Individual, remain very close though it seems like Terry Padgett and Gary Burris have been sitting at the top or near the top of the Team standings for most of the year. Something to be said for consistency with both Terry and Gary sharing that characteristic. Noah Callahan currently sits on top of the Individual standings and has started back at school; don't know if that will affect his game much. No hole-in-ones last week; maybe today.
