More Match Play Notes, Event 4, Pearl/Byron Team Tournament

Additional notes on Thursday Match Play League action:

-Six birds on the day with Terry LaMar (subbing for Ward Smith who is expected to be back in two or three weeks) getting two of them (Bird, Bowling, Kavanaugh and Brown got the other four).  Unfortunately for Terry, he gave the birds back and then some with double bogeys at the par fives.  Ouch.

-Hole #6 played the hardest for the group, coming in at 1.93 over par.  Number one was second at 1.82 (1.63 for the men, 2.00 for the women).  The easiest on the day was #7, playing just .82 strokes over par.

-Clyde Wake and Charlie Sheetz duked it out for the high score of the day; Clyde won the dubious distinction in the end, coming in with a 62 versus Charlie's 61.

-Junior Byron continued his struggle with his game during league play, shooting a 44, some five strokes above his average.  He did come back out last night, worked on his game, then took two long tees from me in a six hole match game, firing pars from #4 through #9.

-Patty Bowling firing on all cylinders with her 45 yesterday.  That follows her 49 of the previous week, meaning two weeks in a row below that 50 mark.  She and Pam are tied for second in the Team Tournament with Clyde Wake and Terry LaMar.

-Winners of last year's team tournament, Wayne Pearl and Junior Byron, find themselves looking up this time around.  They are tied for last with Ken Hudson and Carroll Rayhill.  No sense panicking just yet - got two more weeks to turn the tables.
