League Notes

-Coming up this week:  Mid-season scramble: 2 person, handicapped, nine holes, play anytime during the week.  This is a combined league event with all league players eligible to participate.  Entry fee: already covered in your league entry fee.

-Tournament champions crowned.  The season's second four week, 36 hole tournament was wrapped up this past week with four winners:  Kay Sheetz and Jeremiah Kemp shared the title in the Community League with scores of -10; Pam Byron won in the Thursday League also with a score of -10; and Terry LaMar triumphed in the Tuesday League with a score of -13.

-Coming up in July:  The season's third tournament, the match play tournament.  Details shortly.

-Rounds of the week:  Mark Potts had the low gross with a 33 on Tuesday; James Hager had a 34 in the same league.  Low net round was turned in by John Drake (Tuesday Men) with a super net 27 on a super gross 36.  Tim Sanders and Chris Jones had the low net team round of the week with a nifty 60 in the Community League.

-Team Leaders:

     -Mike Arvin and Scott Arthur stay at the top in the Tuesday League even with an off week by Mike; Scott picked him up by going low in his round, something which also vaulted him into first place in the individual standings.  Terry Butcher and Rob Sterling still in second place.  Wayne Souerdike and Joe Allen along with Danny Jones and Lonnie Hawkins moved into serious contention this week and find themselves within thirteen and nineteen points of the top position.

     -Ken Hudson and Junior Byron lost some ground in the Thursday League but still held onto first place by 6.5 points (92 point total).  Jack Butcher and Rex Hudson took them on last Thursday and came out triumphant with a 9-5 match play win which tightened the race for #1.  Frank and Susan Fee drew within striking distance with a 11-4 win in their match with the short handed Dave Strange.  Also moving into contention with a big win was the team of Virgil Harper and Terry LaMar; they handled Dick Lemmon and Dave Brown by a score of 10-4.

     -The Kemp Brothers, Jonathan and Jeremiah, are on top in the Community League after six events.  Their 67 point total is nine better than Lamar Graber and Marly Wagler.  Jonathan and Jeremiah each did well in the June tournament, Jeremiah claiming a tie for first with Jonathan coming in third.

-Individual Leaders:

     -Chris Jones remains at the top in the Community League at 140 points, a nine point advantage over surging Jeremiah Kemp.  Each did well this past week with net rounds of 30 and 31.

     -Dick Lemmon keeps the top position in the Thursday League for the second week in a row but saw his chief competition draw even closer.  Rex Hudson, on the strength of a net 34 round (versus Dick's net 35), finds himself just two points out of first place.  Pam Byron, with her net 30, which propelled her to her tournament win, closed to within seven points of the top position.

     -Mike Arvin's fall from the top (after a horrendous net round of 44) benefited his team partner as Scott Arthur climbed into first after a net round of 34.  His 634 points leads George Templin by a scant 11 points (in a league where 100 point swings can occur in a given event).  Mark Jones, who also shot a net 34 on the week, is an additional two points back.
