Tuesday Men, Time to Shine!

History: Mark Potts had the low round of the day, a 33, while seven golfers carded two birdies each: Phil Eyler, Mark Potts, Scott Callison, Junior Byron, John Drake, Todd Arvin and Abe Knepp. (That's impressive!) Team standings showed Scott Callison and Mark Sutton on top with Short Jeffers and Don Mills (where is Don now?) in second place. Mark Sutton, Wayne Souerdike, Junior Byron and Tim Voegerl were the top four in the Individual standings.

And now, back to the present: Several golfers have yet to complete their rounds from last Tuesday when the rains visited with us off and on throughout most of the afternoon and evening. Must be in before the end of play today. Because of the rain, hole prizes have been moved forward and will be distributed over the next two events - long first putts on both holes #1 and #2 (will do the same next week). Those two are in addition to the regular four at three, seven, eight and nine. We also have the August 'Go for it!' shot making contests on holes four and five. Object will be to get your ball the closest to a barrel on hole #4 (approximately 180 yards from the tee box) and closest to the pin on hole #5 (does not have to be on the green) over the next three events; that would be with your first tee shots. The usual hole prize fee is your entry into the contest. And, just for fun, let's have someone get another hole-in-one this week. Am sure Skip Ackerman will tell you it's not all that hard - just get up there and whack the ball at the pin, wait for it to come down on the green and watch it make a run for the hole. Easy as making pie, I expect, though I, for one, have never made a pie. Come on out and give it a go.
