Tuesday Men's League Event 13 Recap

The Tuesday Men's League's July tournament reached the semi finals with four teams advancing after head to head matches this past Tuesday.  Rob Sterling and Terry Butcher advanced after beating Jon Boyd and Tom Flynn one up.  They will take on Dennis Brosmer and Tom Trambaugh in one semi final match; Brosmer and Trambaugh prevailed over Noah Callahan and Mark Potts in another close match that also wasn't decided till the last hole.  Terry and Colin Padgett won their match with Derek Gilbertson and Josh Hawkings two and one.  They advance to take on Chad Wade and Travis Brett who also had to go the distance before winning over the team of Tracy Rayhill and Greg Potts.

In regular season action, seven golfers shot 35's to tie for the low gross round of the day.  Travis Brett, Dave Wininger, Doug Denson, Noah Callahan, Terry Butcher, Mike Seals and Short Jeffers all shot even par rounds.  Noah and Dick Lemmon tied for the low net round with 29's.  Wayne Souerdike and Joe Allen came in with the low net for a team, a sterling 61.  John Walker and Skip Ackerman, with a net 67 and 40 points for their efforts, retained the top spot in the team standings with a total of 515 points.  Tom Walker and Mike Bird shot a net 68, captured 34 points and moved into second place with 503 points.  In the individual competition, Skip Ackerman remains on top after shooting a net 34 and getting 63 points.  In second and third place, John Drake and Jordan Divine also shot net 34's and find themselves 25 and 33 points behind the leader.  Sharpshooters during the event were TJ McAtee, Tom Walker and John Walker with close to the pin shots, and Rob Sterling, James Hager and Jordan Divine with long putts.  Group average gross score was 41.46, up slightly from last week's season low of 41.38.

Of note: James Hager, Mark Potts, Short Jeffers, Derek Gilbertson, Dave Wininger, Terry Butcher, Travis Brett and Nick Wininger are all shooting just about scratch golf so far this season.  They all have handicaps in the zero to one range.  Impressive stuff.
