-The Saturday Scramble was pretty much over before it had much of a chance to get started. With two teams having duffed their approach shots and facing a par plus first hole, Doug Denson stuck his team's approach shot to three feet. Turned out, the birdie putt was made for the Denson-Joe Allen-Kevin Byron team and the par plus expectation for the other two teams became a reality. Mike Bird and Wayne Souerdike finished with a bogey while Dave Wininger and Curt Johnson took a triple bogey for their efforts. Team scores after one: three, five, seven. Holes two through nine were played in pretty close proximity: three under for both the Denson-Allen-Byron team and the Wininger-Johnson team, and two under for the Bird-Souerdike team.
-Some questions at the golf course yesterday about certain numbers on the shaft. Jack Lents came up with the answer. From his email to me:
-Watching the Irish play the Terps of Maryland. Halftime: Notre Dame 24, Maryland 7. Good.
p.s. Keeping track of Tiger as well. He's played five, is two under for the day and four back of the leader, Greg Chalmers.

flex: 4.5 regular; 5.0 regular+ ; 5.5 stiff; 6.0 stiff+; 6.5 extra stiff; 5.5 swing speed = 75-85 MPH. Hope this helps. JL.Makes sense but none of us knew that till Jack was forthcoming with the information. Tks, Jack.
