Notes on Thursday Match Play League

Week 2 of the four week Individual Flighted Tournament is on the books with challengers making a move on the leaders.  In A Flight, Junior Byron's four stroke lead after week one all but disappeared with Al Kavanaugh and Mike Bird carding 36's and drawing within one stroke of the top.  In B Flight, Tony Wease followed his 39 of a week ago with a Flight best of 40 to expand his lead to three strokes over Terry LaMar.  C Flight saw Ken Hudson come in with a 41 to close in on Jim Bateman; Jim shot a 43 and still retains the lead but by a single stroke.  Pam Byron shot a second consecutive 50 and opened up a three stroke lead over Joe Gray in D Flight.  In E Flight, Wilma Bateman shot a 53 and opened up an eleven stroke lead on Clyde Wake.

In the regular season individual competition, Jim Bateman, with 527 points total, stayed on top but saw both Al Kavanaugh (505 points) and Mike Bird (498 points) close to within striking distance with two weeks to go in the season.  Low scores for the day were posted by Ken Hudson, Al Kavanaugh and Ray Shaw in the net score category with rounds of 32; and by Al Kavanaugh and Mike Bird with 36's for the low gross.  Hole prizes were claimed by Wayne Pearl at #7, Dave Brown at #8, and Ken Hudson at #9.  Average gross score for the group was 45.00, up slightly from last week's 44.61.
