-Thursday Match Play League tomorrow still needing subs - our two open teams remain open though Dave Strange has done a consistently super job of filling the Elliott/Gray team and finds himself sitting on top of the individual standings. Expect he will be out there again tomorrow morning. Come on out if you have a hankering to play a good game of golf with some good guys and gals. The Home/Home team is going out against the new guys on the block, Mike Breeden and Dan Flynn; the Eliott/Gray (Dave Strange) team is up against the Virgil Harper/Terry LaMar team.
-Mike Arvin got the only eagle in this week's Tuesday Men's League. It was a year ago yesterday that Mark Potts shot a round of thirty, one that included three eagles. That would be three eagles in nine holes on one day by one guy. Pretty amazing stuff, even more amazing when you consider the dearth of eagles so far this year - three or four over the first seven weeks. Let's do the math: 7 weeks, 56 guys, nine holes, four eagles. That's 392 nine hole rounds of golf and four eagles under almost ideal conditions. That's about one in a hundred. Wowzer.
-Twenty-three rounds under forty yesterday with an average of 40.98 for the Tuesday Men (41 of 53 rounds were net par or better). Had several golfers say they could easily have been three, four or even five shots better with a turn here, a turn there. Guess the course was playing easy. Or maybe it was that Memorial Day had come and gone and we all can get serious about golf now. Don't know for sure what it is.
-See that Curt Johnson got the #7 hole prize yesterday and witnessed him knocking one close on #9. He managed to beat me there at #7, getting mucho payback on a couple of quarter flags he lost during a flags and skins match with Tracy Rayhill and me on Monday evening. Nice, Curt. ...Rascal.
