Trenton Kidwell and Mike Bird Take Scramble on Windy Day

Trenton Kidwell and Mike Bird circled the course in two under par to win the May 8th Saturday Morning Scramble over three other teams. Mike Bird rolled in a twelve footer from just off the green at #1 and Trenton Kidwell stuck one at the three inch mark at the par three 7th to account for the two birds that went along with their seven pars. Two teams came in at one under: Dave Wininger and Wayne Souerdikle, and Doug Denson and Stan Graber. Mark Sherer and Joe Allen came in at one over par. Doug Denson and Mark Sherer also stuck shots at #7 for kick in birdies for their teams, a remarkable feat considering the cool and gusting wind that made shot making difficult throughout play.
