Senior League News

The Seniors had a lovely day for golf this past Thursday and the grounds even dried out some to provide a little additional roll of the golf ball. At the end of the day's play, Rex Hudson continued to sit on top of the Individual standings with Carroll Rayhill, Vic Wallace and Dick Barber close behind. The team competition also saw the same leaders at the top with both the Bird/Swayze team and the Wallace/McLaughlin team tied after beating their opponents for the day by scores of nine to five. Patty Bowling and super sub Jack Nickless shot the low net rounds at seven under par while Al Kavanaugh and Mike Bird tied for low gross at 39. Al Kavanaugh and Jack Nickless had the low net team score with a sterling 62. Sharpshooters included Patty Bowling, Pam Byron, Joe Gray and Jack Butcher.
