Tuesday Men: Down to two

A little history: Five years ago, the season ended on this date and we had Wayne Souerdike as the Individual champion and Joe Allen and John Foddrill as Team champions. In flight play, Phil Eyler and Mark Potts shared the top spop in the A+ flight while Greg Potts won the A flight. B+ flight winner was Joe Allen with John Drake winning in the B Flight. John Foddrill took the C flight and Don Nolan won in E. Highlights for the day included low scores of 34 by Terry Butcher and Mark Potts and double birdies by Phil Eyler, Terry Butcher, Brent Courter (who also got low net with a 30), Shannon Bratton and Mark Potts. The weather was overcast with rain in the morning and highs in the 70's.

Back here in 2008, no rain in sight and temperatures 20 degrees warmer. The fairways and roughs are hard and, as you would expect, and the ball is running forever. Greens are holding fairly well though. I would expect Eric is placing the pins in a suitable position (to enhance your playing enjoyment, of course). Would also expect the group average to go down a bit more as it did last week with both the Tuesday Men and the Thursday Seniors. And how about an eagle or two; it's surprising that there were none last week. Maybe we'll make up for it this week with two or three or five. Come on down and give it your best shot.
