Lakeview Golf Course News for the week of September 15:
Junior Byron and Joe Allen Win Scramble in OT
The Saturday Morning Scramble went into overtime when Junior Byron and Joe Allen parred the ninth hole while Wayne Souerdike and Larry Hembree could manage only a bogey. The two teams were tied at even par going into the first extra hole where both Joe Allen and Larry Hembree sank birdie putts of over ten feet. Hole number three became the second playoff hole and each of the four played their own ball and missed the green from the tee. Byron's chip came the closest to the cup at some five feet and he waited patiently as each of the other three missed their par putts. He then very calmly ran the deciding putt into the hole for the victory. A third team, Mike Bird and Karry Stoll, started off with a bogey, added two more at the third hole and shot blanks the rest of the way to finish at three over and out of the playoff picture.Senior Flighted Tournament
The Senior Flighted Tournament had some dominating performances in the final nine holes played this past Thursday. In the most dominant of them all, Pam Byron ran away from Clyde Wake by a full ten strokes on the day to win the F Flight by a score of 111 to 122. JD Faris had a good nine holes at 45 to best his closest competition in the E Flight, Dick Barber, by five strokes on the day and that gave him a come from behind victory, 96 to 100. In the most competitive race, Dave Strange started the day tied with Ray Shaw in D Flight and ended it with a round of 43 , two strokes better than Ray's 45. Final score in D Flight: 90 to 92. In the C Flight, Ken Hudson's round of 42 bested his closest competitiors, brother Rex and Richard Swayze who each shot 44's on the day. Ken won the Flight with a total score of 88 over the 91's posted by Rex and Richard. John Chapman dominated B Flight, firing a super 36 on the day and taking the trophy by nine strokes over second place finisher Jack Butcher, 75 to 84. Mike Bird used consecutive birdies on four, five and six to highlight a second straight round of 33 to distance himself from fellow competitors Junior Byron and Mike Anderson who shot 37's on the day. That gave Mike a final score of 66, a seven stroke advantage over Junior and Mike's 73's. Hole prizes for the event were collected by long putters Jim Bateman and Dave Brown, and by sharpshooters Junior Byron and Mike Bird. A pitch-in lunch followed play.Tuesday Men's League
The Tuesday Men's League Wrap: The season came to a close with all sorts of surprises, the biggest the Rob Sterling/Jim Murphy ascension to the top of the Team standings. Rob shot a 'sterling' 39, his best ever, and Jim shot a 43 to give them a net team score of 64 and just enough points on the night to catch and pass the leaders at the start of the day, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris. And that by a slim margin of one point. Over in the Individual competition, Noah Callahan won it all with a round of 41, but he was caught in the Flighted Tournament as both Bryant Trambaugh (39) and Chris Bledsoe (36) finished with 77's to Noah's 78. Phil Eyler's low gross round of 32, which included the only eagle of the day, got him a tie for second in the A Flight with James Hager at 70. Short Jeffers' 36 and his first round 32 gave him a 68 for the tournament and the top spot. Tyler Kidwell shot a round of 35 and that enabled him to catch Junior Byron (39) in the B Flight; the two of them finished with 18 hole scores of 72. In D Flight, Mike Smith almost caught first round leader Charlie Lyon; they shot a 41 and a 42 to come in at 79 and 78 for the top two spots in that Flight; Mark Jones' 45 dropped him to third with a total score of 81. In E Flight, Curt Johnson followed his first round score of 38 with a second round score of 45 and that was just enough to squeak out a win over the hard charging Rob Sterling who finished with that previously mentioned 39 and an 18 hole score of 84. In F Flight, Richie Green shot his best ever round at 44, found a birdie and a hole prize on the last hole, and dominated his flight with a score of 93 and a six stroke advantage over second place finisher Keith Parsons. Joining Richie Green at low net for the day was Kevin Byron who shot a gross 40; the two of them finished with net 28's. James Hager's 34 was second low gross score to Phil Eyler's 32. The low net team score of the event was shot by Trenton Kidwell and Chris Bledsoe; their rounds of 35 and 36 translated into a nifty net team score of 62. Seven golfers had two birdies on the day: John Walker, Trenton Kidwell, Junior Byron, Mark Sherer, Short Jeffers, James Hager and Phil Eyler. Joining Richie Green in claiming hole prizes were John Drake, Chris Bledsoe and Jason Rominger.Final standings for 2008 League play at Lakeview can be found at www.golflakeview.com.
