Thursday Match Play League Event 1 Notes

Thursday Match Play League

-Junior Byron had a super middle part of his round in the Thursday League's initial go of the year.  He birdied three, six and seven and parred four and five.  It was the other four holes that were a problem, especially #1 where  he triple bogeyed.  Ouch.  But the birdies were impressive and go along quite nicely with the two he got in the Tuesday Men's League.  Make that very impressive.

-Ken Hudson, with that new used Killer Bee driver he bought from Jack Lents, is a different kind of golfer these days.  He led the way on Thursday, firing a gross 40 and a nifty net 31.  He claimed two birds of his own, one at two, the other at six.

-Carroll Rayhill solved the par five riddle, at least for a day.  He birdied each of them in an otherwise forgettable round of 47.  For the moment, he's king of the par fives.

-Mike Bird led the par parade with six, closely followed by Jack Lents and Al Kavanaugh with five.

-As with the Tuesday Men, the first hole turned out to be the most difficult on the day.  The men averaged 1.76 more than par on the hole, the women an additional 1.5 strokes.
