Lee Wininger, Junior Byron and Mike Bird Win Saturday Scramble

Lee Wininger, Junior Byron and Mike Bird closed with four birds to finish at six under par in the Saturday Morning Scramble at Lakeview. That score gave them a tie with Mark Potts, Greg Potts and Larry Hembree, with the tiebreaker, for the second week in a row, going in favor of the Mike Bird team and against the Mark Potts team. Highlights for the winning team included Lee Wininger's 25 foot putt for birdie at #8, his chip in for birdie at #3, and Junior Byron's long drive and chip to four feet to set up the team's finishing birdie at hole #5. Two other teams played in the scramble with each of them carding five under thirties. They were: Doug Denson, Wayne Souerdike, Jack Lents and Kevin Byron for one; and Dave Wininger, Travis Brett, Joe Allen and Curt Johnson.

Wallace and Bird Win Thursday Morning Scramble

Vic Wallace and Mike Bird shot a 34 gross and a 28.67 net to win the Thursday Morning Scramble this week.  The twosome got off to a rough start by bogeying their very first hole, #4, but then birdied the following two holes to get to one under.  Six pars followed including a decisive ten footer from just off the green at #3 to finish.  Junior and Pam Byron claimed second place with a net 29.33 on a 34 gross, while Jack Lents and Ray Shaw took third with a net 30 on a gross 36.  Tony Wease and Dick Lemmon closed out the scoring with a net 31.33 on a gross 37.  Of note:  Vic Wallace is making a habit of winning on Thursdays.  This marks the third Thursday in a row that he has been on the winning team, and the fourth event (he helped Wayne Souerdike and an ailing Jack Nickless secure third place in the September Challenge) where he has been in the winners' circle at the end of the day.

Jeffers, Potts, Stoll and Jones Triumph

The Tuesday Afternoon Scramble was won by Short Jeffers, Greg Potts, Karry Stoll and Mark Jones.  The team shot a seven under par to tie the team of Dave Wininger, Travis Brett and Steve Qualkenbush and then won the scramble on a tiebreaking card draw.  Two other teams came in at five under par: Nick Wininger, Noah Callahan and Ryan Johnson; and Mike Bird, Stan Graber and Joe Allen.  Of note: The winning team had a couple of 'Oh Yea' moments with Short Jeffers chipping in for eagle at #4 and Mark Jones' twenty-five foot putt at #7 for bird.
