Graber and Bird Take Saturday Morning Scramble with a Tiebreaker

Stan Graber and Mike Bird fired a four under nine hole round of 31 to tie Mark Potts and Greg Potts in Saturday's scramble at Lakeview with the card draw tiebreaker going to the Bird/Graber team.  The winning twosome had birdies at #4 and #8 and an eagle at #6 where, after Graber's fairway shot used a fortuitous tree deflection to get just off the backside of the green, Bird chipped in for an eagle.  Potts and Potts had five birds on their round but found a bogey at #3, one that cost them the trophy.  Three other twosomes competed in the Saturday morning event with Travis Brett and Steve Qualkenbush carding a 32, Dave Wininger and Kevin Byron a 33, and Short Jeffers and Joe Allen a 36.

Bird, Lemmon and Wallace Win Thursday Scramble

Mike Bird, Dick Lemmon and Vic Wallace shot a three under par 32 to win the Thursday Morning Scramble out at Lakeview.  After Bird rolled in an over the ridge putt at #5 for birdie, Dick Lemmon knocked down a Vic Wallace dart to five feet at nine for the team's second birdie.  Dick did the honors again at #1, the team's seventh hole, by pitching to seven feet and then rolling in the putt for the team's third and decisive bird. The threesome beat out the teams of Junior Byron, Ray Shaw and Denny Wagoner (33), and Tony Wease, Jack Lents and Pam Byron (34).  The Byron/Shaw/Wagoner team had four birdies on their round but self destructed by bogeying holes three and four.  Of note: Jack Lents' shot at #7 hit the stick and dropped and stopped at the six inch mark in front of the cup.  Made for an easy bird and a hard luck miss of an ace.

Souerdike and Graber Win Tuesday Scramble

Wayne Souerdike and Stan Graber had a three under par round of 32 to claim the top spot in the Tuesday Afternoon Scramble.  The twosome started out well by rolling in a birdie putt from off the green at #1, then managed to birdie the par fives from the wrong fairways, and finished with a sand save at nine to stay at three under for their round.  Souerdike and Graber topped six other teams competing for the low score.  Finishing at two under were the teams of Travis Brett and Tracy Rayhill, Dave Wininger and George Templin, Doug Denson and Joe Allen, and Mike Bird and Greg Potts.  Nick Wininger and Joe Doyle along with Mike Kidwell and Steve Qualkenbush carded scores of one under.
