Denson, Dalrymple and Allen Shine on Scramble Holes
In the Saturday modified scramble, Doug Denson, Brent Dalrymple and Joe Allen shot a super five under on the scramble holes to offset a pedestrian three over on the par threes to take the trophy with a score of two under. Finishing second a stroke behind were Junior Byron, Larry Hembree, Curt Johnson and Joe Doyle. In third place was the team of Wayne Souerdike, Jeff Doyle and Gary Arvin at an even par. Mike Bird, Kevin Byron and Jack Lents brought in the caboose in spite of an eagle start on hole four where Kevin did the driving and Jack rolled in one from just off the green; they shot one over for the nine holes.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 a second pretty close battle, E Flight has Dick Barber, with a round of 50, leading JD Faris by a single stoke; 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, September 11th, with a 9am start and conclude with a lunch and awards presentation which will follow play. In the final match of the four week playoffs, Jack Butcher and Rex Hudson played even with Al Kavanaugh and Mike Anderson in the match play, each team getting 4.5 points. But Al and Mike bested Jack and Rex in the low net team score by a score of 66 to 69. Bragging rights go to the boys from Montgomery.The Tuesday Boyz Club played at Lakeview this past Tuesday: 1st: Tony Burnside, Junior Byron, Danny Thomas, Jerry Robinson and Jim Henry with a score of 91 which included +12 on the par threes where four of five scores counted. 2nd: Mike Bird, Mike Anderson, Jack Butcher, John Chapman and Ray Shaw with a score of 94 and that included plus 15 on the par threes.

Tuesday Men Results
Mike Smith followed last week's 36 with a 38 that included birdies on #2 and #6; his net score was 31. The team of Mark Jones and Mike Albertson shot a net 62 with Mark's 36 gross and 29 net leading the way; Mike shot a 40 gross and a net 33. Each of them birdied #7 while Mark birdied #9 as well. Skip Ackerman gave away three strokes on the last two holes and still shot a super 38. Playing with Skip and doing an even better job was Charlie Lyon who shot a 36 and made a 'clean sweep' of the extras that the two of them along with John Walker and Phil Eyler play for each week. Charlie's 36 translates into a 27 net. Bryant Trambaugh slam dunked a shot from behind #8 green for an eagle on #2 and came in with a 38. Buck Holland also found an eagle, his on #5, in a round of 40. Junior Byron started with four fours and finished with three threes and a round of 33 which included birdies on four, five and eight. Short Jeffers left several birdies on the table and still came in with a 32, a round that included birdies at two, four, six and nine. The Wrap: Low scores for the next to last outing of the season were turned in by Charlie Lyon and Curt Johnson in the net category with 27's. Short Jeffers went low in gross with a 32 while Junior Byron came in with a 33. Low net team score was a 61 shot by Curt Johnson and Bric Parker. Hole prizes were taken by Mike Kidwell on #3 and #8, Mike Albertson on #7 and Short Jeffers on #9. Leaders in the standings remain Noah Callahan in the Individual competition and Terry Padgett and Gary Burris in the Team competition. In the season ending Flighted Tournament, leaders after the first nine holes are: Short Jeffers (A) with a 32, Junior Byron (B) with a 33, Noah Callahan (C) with a 37, Mark Jones and Charlie Lyon (D) with 36's, Curt Johnson (F) with a 38, and Richie Green and Don Nolan (G) with 49's. Lots of great scores posted during this event. Guess the golfers like those August fairways. Or was it the heat? Mark Jones said he got to the point of thinking more about the heat and not so much about his shot making. Paid dividends for him with his best ever round of 36. And Junior Byron shot a 33 after playing 18 holes with the Tuesday Boyz in the morning. Charlie Lyon with his own 36 was all smiles after showing John Walker, Skip Ackerman and Phil Eyler a thing or two about golf. Skip did much better than he thought he would with his 38. The Tuesday Men had way too much fun on a sultry early September afternoon.________________________________________________________________
