Seniors' Flighted Tournament

Some low scores posted in the first nine holes of the Flighted Tournament in spite of the threatening weather and the slowed down fairways (over night rain!). Mike Bird led the way with a sterling 33 which included birdies at four and nine and seven pars. The three other A Flight golfers did pretty well also with Junior Byron and Mike Anderson firing 36's and Al Kavanaugh coming in with a 37. In the B Flight, Dave Brown and John Chapman went low with a 38 and a 39 and lead the other contenders by several strokes. In the most closely contested Flight, the C Flight, Rex and Ken Hudson shot 46's and lead Richard Swayze and Morris Cornelius by a single stroke and Leroy Streepy by just two. Dave Strange finds himself in the lead in the D Flight by a single stoke over Ray Shaw. In E Flight, Dick Barber leads JD Faris by a single stoke with his round of 50; he's up by two strokes over Diane Bird and Patty Bowling. Pam Byron leads Clyde Wake by two strokes in the F Flight. Claiming hole prizes were Leroy Streepy and Rex Hudson with long putts, and John Chapman and Mike Bird with close to the pin shots. The final nine holes is scheduled to kick off next Thursday with a 9am start and conclude with a lunch and awards presentation which will follow play.
