Wininger, Stoll, Johnson and Arthur Win Summerfest Scramble at Lakeview

Dave Wininger, Karry Stoll, Curt Johnson and Scott Arthur shot a thirteen under round of 57 at Lakeview Golf Course this past Saturday to win the Summerfest Scramble for 2010.  The foursome needed a tiebreaker to nip the team of Mark Sherer, Phil Smith, Brent Dalrymple and TJ Howell who also shot a 57.  Third place went to the team of Jason and Scott Schutte and Mike and Doug Arvin who shot a 58.  Junior Byron won hole prizes at #1 and #9 while Chad Cundiff claimed the one at hole #3.  In the putting contest at #7, Mark Sherer and Doug Denson advanced to the finals by sinking 25 foot putts with Mark winning the playoff.  Eleven teams and 44 players participated in this year's scramble with lunch being served on completion of play.

Community League Notes Week 3

Jason Wagler, who shot a net 31 in this week's play, has sole possession of the top spot in the Individual Handicapped Tournament with one week to go.  His 15 under par through 27 holes leads Allen Yoder by four strokes and last week's co-leader, Shirley Jeffers, by five.  Four players are tied for fourth at minus seven: Eric Bird, Dale Yoder, Duane Wagler and Virgil Harper.   Two players, Duane Wagler and Short Jeffers, had stellar rounds this past week, each firing 33's to tie for the low gross score.  Low net honors went to Dale Yoder whose 36 gross netted a nifty 29.  Team low net, an equally nifty 60, was posted by Dale and his partner Allen Yoder.  After week three of the season, Jason Graber and Perry Yoder hold a two point lead over Dale and Allen Yoder in the team standings with Short and Shirley Jeffers four points off the lead.  In individual competition, Jason Graber sits on top with Allen Yoder some 14 points back in second, and Mike Arvin in third, 31 points from the top.  The group average gross score for the week was 45.17, slightly better then the 45.38 of a week ago.

With just nine holes to play in the Individual Handicapped Tournament, Jim Bateman and Susan Fee stand at the top of the leaderboard, each at ten under par.  Within striking distance are Rex Hudson at nine under and Pam Byron at eight under.  The final nine holes will be played this coming Thursday.

In regular season play, Frank Fee got himself an eagle when he chipped in one at #4 in a round of 38 and the low net of the day at 29.  Mike Anderson had the low gross of the day at 36 which included a birdie and six pars.  Low net team score of the day was turned in by Frank and Susan Fee at eight under par.  Hole prizes were claimed by Jack Lents, Jack Butcher and Al Kavanaugh.  Jim and Wilma Bateman continue at the top of the team standings with an 11 to 3 win over John Chapman and Dick Barber.  The Fees stayed closed, four points back, with a same score win over their opponents, Clyde Wake and Terry LaMar.  Wayne Pearl took over the top spot in the individual competition with a round of 41 gross and a net 33.  He is closely followed by Mike Bird, John Chapman and Jim Bateman, at four, five and six points shy of the top.  The group averaged 45.30 for the day, a drop of 1.6 strokes from the previous week and the new low for the season.

Tuesday Men - June 15 is a Rain Event

Needed another hour and a half to finish league last Tuesday.  But Mother Nature had other plans and sent a nice little storm our way which had league golfers running to the clubhouse and their cars.  Golfers can complete their rounds prior to the start of the next event. With 90% of the scores posted, Mike Kidwell and Karry Stoll share the top spot in the Individual Handicapped Tournament.  Their 92's through 27 holes lead Bric Parker by one stroke, Mike Seals by two, and Kevin Byron and Allan Harmon by three.  Final nine holes of the tournament are being played this week.
