Jeffers and Bird Triumph at Saturday Scramble

The cold weather kept all but the hale and hearty (?!) away from the just-over-freezing conditions out at Lakeview Saturday morning.  Of the six who braved the elements, Short Jeffers and Mike Bird fared the best in the scramble of the day.  The two shot a nifty five under thirty to best two other teams, Dave and Lee Wininger, and Nick Wininger and Travis Brett, with identical scores of thirty-three.  Jeffers short irons and putter were as hot as they were in his and George Templin's similarly scored win in the Tuesday Afternoon Scramble four days earlier.  His pitching and chipping got the team birdie close on the first two holes, and his putter drained ten footers at both #5 and #8 for two more birds.  Mike Bird's rim out chip for eagle on #4 and tap in putt accounted for the team's other birdie of the day.  Each of the contending teams bogeyed early to dampen their chances of coming in with the low round.
