Sharon and Ken Frye went out and played like and with a couple of youngsters this last Friday evening, and then came in a few hours later as champions. The Loogootee couple bested Adam Wagler and Tyson Stoll in Lakeview's Community League July Match Play Tournament. Needing a win on the last hole to tie and extend the match, Wagler and Stoll did their part by getting pars. But the Fryes did one better, Ken rolling in a par putt just after Sharon had rolled in a birdie putt of her own. The close match was tied through four holes before the Fryes took the lead for good at #5. The next three holes were halved setting up the dramatic conclusion at the ninth hole.
In other Community League action: Jason Graber and Perry Yoder shot a super low 55 to get the team low net score for the week with Perry's 27 also capturing the low net score for individuals. Ken Wagler's 34 was the week's low gross score. Short and Shirley Jeffers slipped into first place in the team standings and now lead Allen Yoder and Dale Yoder by a single point. Gary LaMar and Terry LaMar are in third place fifteen points from the top. In the individual standings, Allen Yoder maintains a comfortable lead of 38 points over Gary LaMar, his nearest competitor. Virgil Harper, Shirley Jeffers and Tyson Stoll follow the two leaders in the standings. The league starts its final four weeks of the season with the Individual Flighted Tournament, a 36 hole event, getting underway this week.
Notes on Thursday Match Play League
Charlie Sheetz and Tony Wease along with Richard Lemmon and Leroy Streepy head to the final round of the Match Play Tournament this week after impressive wins yesterday last Thursday. Sheetz and sub Mike Strawn shot a net 64 and easily beat the one-man-short team of Joe Gray and Vic Wallace, 11 to 3. Lemmon and Streepy did one better, firing a net score of 63, in throttling Wayne Pearl and Junior Byron, 12 to 2. In regular season action, Ray Shaw tied Ken Hudson for the low net round of the day, each carding scores of 29. Mike Bird turned in the low gross score with a one under par 34 while the above mentioned team of Richard Lemmon and Leroy Streepy got the low team net with their 63. Hole prizes were claimed by Wayne Pearl with a long putt at #8, and by Mike Bird and Rex Hudson with close to the pin shots at #7 and #9. With two weeks to go in team competition, Frank and Susan Fee and Jim and Wilma Bateman cling to the top two spots in the standings. The Fees, on the short end of their match with Jack Lents and Mike Bird, 10.5 to 3.5, lead the Batemans by a scant two and a half points. The Batemans bested the team of Al Kavanaugh and Mike Anderson by a score of 9 to 5. Lents and Bird are in third place eighteen points from the top with Pearl and Byron twenty points out of the lead. With six weeks remaining in the individual competition for the season, John Chapman saw his lead narrowed to four points over second place Mike Bird. Dave Brown, Jim Bateman and Jack Lents stand thirty plus points behind the leaders in third through fifth positions. On tap for the Thursday League: two weeks of team playoffs and then a four week, 36 hole individual flighted tournament.Notes on Tuesday Men's League Play
In the semi finals of the Match Play Tournament, Mike Albertson and Mark Jones fell behind for the first time on the eighth hole in a see-saw battle with Mark Sherer and Mike Bird. They tied it at the ninth when Jones rolled in a six foot par putt and Mark Sherer's four footer for the win lipped out. The extra hole, an ugly affair with both sides seeing errant shots galore, was finally settled with Jones sinking a bogey putt of five feet and Albertson's double bogey putt being conceded. The winners go on to face Doug Denson and Buck Holland who had a slightly easier time of it, closing out Tom McAtee and John Drake at the eighth hole. Their match was tied through five but then Denson and Holland won the next three holes to advance. The two winners face off for the championship next Tuesday.In regular season action: Tom Trambaugh, an extended sub for the still recovering Ward Smith, found his first birdie at hole number five and went on to fire the day's low net, a 27, on the strength of a gross 47. Short Jeffers and Mike Seals fired 34's to tie for the day's low gross. Jeffers, two over through three, found three birdies and three pars on his final six holes to get his 34 while Mike Seals rolled in eight pars to go along with his single birdie at #4. Two of the Kidwell brothers, Tyler and Trenton, playing in separate groups, found consecutive birdies at holes four, five and six in even par rounds of 35. Four different teams shared the low team score of 62: Greg Potts and Tracy Rayhill, Virgil Harper and Terry LaMar, Allan Harmon and Rob Rollins, and Short Jeffers and Jack Divine. Hole prize winners were Jack Divine, Greg Potts and Chris Bledsoe on the par threes, and Charlie Lyon, Rob Rollins and Short Jeffers on the long putts. At the end of the day, Allan Harmon and Rob Rollins sit at the top of the team standings with a very slim five point lead over second placers Curt Johnson and Bric Parker, and a seven point lead over last week's top team, Kent Summers and Paul Hart. Paul Hart does retain his top spot in the individual competition, expanding his lead to 44 points over second place Mark Jones and 54 points over the surging Rob Rollins. Starting this week: Tuesday Men's League 36 hole, four week Individual Flighted Tournament.
