Notes on Community League Play

The Community League at Lakeview came to a rousing close this past week with Flight champions being crowned and the top spots in the regular season's team and individual competition being decided.  In the Flighted Tournament, Mike Bird shot a closing 38 and ended with a score of 145 to best Ken Wagler by three strokes in the A Flight.  In the B Flight, Mike Arvin (total 153) carded a 39 in the fourth week and nipped his playing partner, Scott Schutte, by a single stroke; Scott's fourth week score was a 38.  In C Flight, Ken Frye's closing round 42 and total score of 166 gave him a three stroke victory over second place finisher, Gary LaMar.  Perry Yoder, with a total of 187, also won by three in D Flight, his victory coming over Virgil Harper.  In E Flight, Sharon Frye cruised to an 18 stroke victory over Shirley Jeffers, finishing with a score of 202 for the tournament.

In regular season action, changes at the top were the order of the day.  Mike Arvin and Scott Schutte caught and passed Dale Yoder and Allen Yoder (who had held the top spot all season!) to win the team competition.  Arvin and Schutte (218 total points) scored 26 points in the last week's play while the Yoders (213 total points) failed to garner a single point.   The team of Gary and Terry LaMar finished third with 201 points.  In the individual competition, Gary LaMar posted a 43 and got 31 points for his play over the final week of the season.  That gave him just enough points to catch the season's leader, Allen Yoder, and tie him for the individual competition's championship with each having a total of 470 points.  Tyson Stoll, who scored 45 points in last week's play, finished in third place a single point behind the champs.  The week's low scores were turned in by Adam Wagler with a low net of 26, by Ken Wagler with a low gross of 35, and by the team of Adam Wagler and Tyson Stoll with a low net team score of 60.  Average group score for the week was 44.34.  Next up for the Community League participants: Lakeview's September Challenge, a three event, two person team game starting the week of September 12th and open to all league members.
