Souerdike, Arvin and Arvin Win Super Shamble
Wayne Souerdike called it a "super shamble" and then joined up with brothers Mike and Doug Arvin to win the Saturday morning golf game out at Lakeview. Playing their own ball on the par threes, scrambling on the par fours and then hitting alternate shots on the par fives, the threesome finished their round at plus one. That was one better than the team of Dave Wininger, Kevin Byron and Joe Doyle; and four better that the team of Mike Bird, Joe Allen and Tony Wease. Tony, borrowing from a John Feinstein title, had only one thing to say while walking back to the clubhouse after he and his teammates flailed around the course finding zero birdies and picking up five bogeys: "That truly was a good walk spoiled."Pam Byron's Sand Save Decisive Shot in Senior Win
Pam Byron followed a par saving five foot putt on hole #8 with a four foot putt for a sand save on #9 to propel her team to a one stroke win in the Thursday Senior game. Along with Diane Bird, Clyde Wake and Mike Bird, the team shot a plus three in the nine hole "shamble" where each golfer played his own ball on the par threes with two scores counting as the team score. The team played even par on the six scramble holes. Two other teams participated in the game: Jack Butcher, Rex Hudson and Ray Shaw got the only birdie of the day with a four on #6 but played the par threes in plus five for a final score of plus four. Junior Byron, Ken Hudson and Dave Strange also finished the day at plus four.Johnson, Johnson, Allen and Nolan Take Tuesday Scramble
They didn't birdie either of their first two holes but ran in six in the last seven to come in at six under. And that got them the win in the Tuesday scramble. That would be Kevin Johnson, dad Curt Johnson, Joe Allen and Don Nolan who started on hole six with a disappointing par and then did the same on the short par three number seven. But from then on, everything came up roses, or went down for birdies, with the exception of a par on hole number three. Second place went to Trenton Kidwell, Mike Bird and Joe Doyle who came in at minus four. Doug Denson, Mike Breeden and George Templin came in at minus three while Dave Wininger, Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy fired a minus one on their round.Crane Flies Plentiful at Golf Course
Had a multitude of flying insects out at the golf course this past week. The majority of them are Crane flies. Shirley Jeffers referred to them as wheat bugs but they are also know as gollywhoppers and jimmy spinners. Back when I was a youngster up in South Bend, we called them mosquito hawks. They are harmless though they did have a clumsy habit of running smack dab into our faces every whipstitch. By the end of the week, most of them had disappeared._______________________________________________________________
