Seals, Potts and Byron Victorious with Help of Tiebreaker

Mike Seals, Greg Potts and Kevin Byron made six birdies over their first eight holes, then got themselves an unlucky bogey on their last hole to come in at five under in the Saturday Morning Scramble out at Lakeview. That tied them with the team of Doug Denson, Tarry Bratton and Bryant Trambaugh, who made five birds and four pars in their round. The Seals team then got the lucky card draw to win the scramble on the tiebreaker. Seven three-person teams went after the prize on a surprisingly cool, cloudy and windy day in August with scores ranging from the two minus fives at the top to the minus one of Junior Byron, Curt Johnson and Gary Webb that brought in the caboose. Complete results can be found under "Lakeview Saturday Morning" at www.golflakeview.com.

Community League

Awards and prizes for the recently completed Community League season are available at the clubhouse. The full details can be found under "League Results/Community League" at the course website.

Senior League

This past week’s senior event was declared a weather event with the anticipated stormy weather that never materialized. Several teams did get their rounds in with the remaining scheduled to finish up at the default date and time, Monday, the 24th, at 9am. The league’s regular season ends with play on Thursday, the 27th. The Individual Flighted Tournament takes place the first two Thursdays in September.

Tuesday Men’s League

More changes at the top in the Tuesday Men’s League. Tracy Rayhill and Greg Potts took over first place in the Team competition, and Tracy did a double by reclaiming the top spot in the Individual competition. With three weeks to go in the season, several teams and even more individuals remain in contention to take the brass ring. Five teams are within 32 points of the top, including Virgil Harper and Gary LaMar, currently in sixth place. Jim Murphy sits in thirteenth place among the individuals but is within one hundred and fifty some points of the leader. Low scores for last week’s event were turned in by Virgil Harper and Greg Potts in the low net category with 30’s, Mark Potts shot a 32 for low gross, and Greg Potts and Tracy Rayhill fired a super team low score of 63 which played a big part in their vault to the top. Sharpshooters were Mark Jones, Mike Bird and Mark Potts with close to the pin shots, and Virgil Harper, Brent Courter and Kevin Byron with long putts. The Tuesday Men also have a flighted tournament for individuals coming up the first two weeks of September. Note: All league scores and standings can be found at www.golflakeview.com.
