Notes on Thursday Match Play League

Jim Bateman's fantastic finish on Thursday morning sealed the deal on the Team championship and vaulted him into second place in the Individual standings.  John Chapman still leads but by just four points after giving away five strokes on the last two holes in his round of 42.  Low scores for Thursday's play were turned in by Terry LaMar with a low net of 27 on an even par round of 35.  Junior Byron had the low gross with a one under round of 34 that included three birdies.  Vic Wallace and Joe Gray had the low team net of the day with a 63.  Hole prizes were claimed by Junior Byron at #7 and by Jim Bateman at both #8 and #9.  The League starts its final four weeks of the season with a multitude of players still in contention for the top spot and the Flighted Tournament running side by side with the regular season.  Top seeds in the flights are: Junior Byron in A Flight; Jack Lents in B Flight; Wayne Pearl in C Flight; Pam Byron in D Flight; and Carroll Rayhill in E Flight.
