Tuesday Men's League Recap Event 17

More new guys at the top of the team standings in the Tuesday Men's League. Tracy Rayhill and Greg Potts came out of yesterday's play with a net 70 that earned them 29 points and the seat at the top.  Last week's leaders, Dan Jones and Lonnie Hawkins, had a terrible day, shooting a net 80 and garnering only 2 points.  Rayhill and Potts, with a total of 604 points, lead Curt Johnson and Tyler Walton by 12 points.  Johnson and Walton were another team that did not fare very well, posting a net 72 with a gain of only 13 points.  The third place team of Terry LaMar and Jack Lents had a very good day, posting a net 65, collecting 53 points and now are within 16 points of the leaders.  Dan Jones did stay at the top in the individual standings with a total of 1168 points though his competition moved much closer.  Jordan Divine, after shooting a gross 38, a net 34 and getting 74 points, moved to second place, 27 points behind Jones.  John Drake is in third at 1128 points after a net 35 on the day and a gain of 52 points.  One of the big movers was Wayne Souerdike who shot a gross 38, a net 32 and collected 98 points.  He sits in fourth place, 96 points away from the lead position.  Low scores for the day were: Don Nolan and Tom Trambaugh both shot net 28's to tie for low net; Short Jeffers, with three birdies and six pars, had the low gross of 32; and Dennis Brosmer and Tom Trambaugh had the low net team score, a sterling 58.  TJ McAtee won the special hole prize at #2 with a shot from the tee box that settled five feet from the pin.  He beat out 36 other players who were part of the competition.  Regular hole prize winners were Derek Gilbertson, Tom Walker and Charlie Lyon with close to the pin shots; and Jon Boyd, Dan Jones and Terry Butcher with long putts.  The groups average gross score for the week was 41.42, down slightly from last week's 41.80.

Of note:  Charlie Lyon dropped in an eagle at hole #1 and Josh Hawkins had one at #6.  Dave Wininger joined Short Jeffers in getting three birds on the day.  TJ McAtee is making a habit of collecting hole prizes; this makes four out of the last five weeks he has had his name among the winners.
