Tuesday Men: The end of it all...

Today's the final event of the season for the Tuesday Men's League and looks like the weather is going to be just dandy. Final peek into the archives: The season statistics for the 2003 season show that several players shared the low round of the year at 33: Mark Potts, Dave Wininger, Short Jeffers, John Walker and Phil Eyler. Two players shared the low net round of the season, a 26 shot by Shannon Bratton and George Templin. Only seven eagles were found during the year (18 so far this year) and no one had more than one in any single event. The eagle shooters: Wayne Souerdike, Dave Wininger, Doug Denson, John Foddrill, Gary Burris, Junior Byron and Larry Sutton. Most birdies in a single event: Short Jeffers with four. Most pars in a single event: Terry Butcher with nine.

Back to the present: Noah Callahan opened up a little room at the top of the Individual standings and has a pretty good hold with a 103 point lead over Jim Murphy, the only guy who could catch him. Jim, Bryant Trambaugh, Mark Jones and Buck Holland round out the top five spots and will be slugging it out for position today. In the Team race, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris have a 32 point lead over Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy and could get caught on the final day if bad things happen to the guys at the top and good things happen to the guys in second. So the real fun comes in the Flighted Tournament where everything is open and anybody could step up to the tee box and go low to capture a title. Best come out and gice it your best shot and then see how the tea leaves have arranged themselves at the end of the day. Should be a very exciting conclusion to a pretty remarkable season. Come on down, guys, and bring your A game and something to settle the nerves.
