Tuesday Men's League: The Wrap
The Tuesday Men's League Wrap: The season came to a close with all sorts of surprises, the biggest the Rob Sterling/Jim Murphy ascension to the top of the Team standings. Rob shot a 'sterling' 39, certainly his best ever, and Jim shot a 43 to give them a net team score of 64 and just enough points on the night to catch and pass the leaders at the start of the day, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris. And that by a slim margin of one point. Over in the Individual competition, Noah Callahan won it all with a round of 41, but he was caught in the Flighted Tournament as both Bryant Trambaugh (39) and Chris Bledsoe (36) finished with 77's to Noah's 78. Phil Eyler's low gross round of 32, which included the only eagle of the day, got him a tie for second in the A Flight with James Hager at 70. Short Jeffers' 36 and his first round 32 gave him a 68 for the tournament and the top spot. Tyler Kidwell shot a round of 35 and that enabled him to catch Junior Byron (39) in the B Flight; the two of them finished with 18 hole scores of 72. In D Flight, Mike Smith amost caught first round leader Charlie Lyon; they shot a 41 and a 42 to come in at 79 and 78 for the top two spots in that Flight; Mark Jones' 45 dropped him to third with a total score of 81. In E Flight, Curt Johnson followed his first round score of 38 with a second round score of 45 and that was just enough to squeak out a win over the hard charging Rob Sterling who finished with that previously mentioned 39. In F Flight, Richie Green shot his best ever round at 44, found a birdie and a hole prize on the last hole, and dominated his flight with a score of 93 and a six stroke advantage over second place finisher Keith Parsons. Joining Richie Green at low net for the day was Kevin Byron who shot a gross 40; the two of them finished with net 28's. James Hager's 34 was second low gross score to Phil Eyler's 32. The low net team score of the event was shot by Trenton Kidwell and Chris Bledsoe; their rounds of 35 and 36 translated into a nifty net team score of 62. Seven golfers had two birdies on the day: John Walker, Trenton Kidwell, Junior Byron, Mark Sherer, Short Jeffers, James Hager and Phil Eyler. Joining Richie Green in claiming hole prizes were John Drake, Chris Bledsoe and Jason Rominger.

Tuesday Men Results
The results are posted and there are some surprises! Congrats to all the winners. Comments and photos later. Next week we'll have a two person scramble just like the one we had at the start of the season way back in April: handicap for each team will be calculated by adding the ending handicaps for each player and dividing by 3 with a maximum of six. No particular start time, come out and play when you can. It's getting dark by 8:30 now so plan accordingly.
Tuesday Men: The end of it all...
Today's the final event of the season for the Tuesday Men's League and looks like the weather is going to be just dandy. Final peek into the archives: The season statistics for the 2003 season show that several players shared the low round of the year at 33: Mark Potts, Dave Wininger, Short Jeffers, John Walker and Phil Eyler. Two players shared the low net round of the season, a 26 shot by Shannon Bratton and George Templin. Only seven eagles were found during the year (18 so far this year) and no one had more than one in any single event. The eagle shooters: Wayne Souerdike, Dave Wininger, Doug Denson, John Foddrill, Gary Burris, Junior Byron and Larry Sutton. Most birdies in a single event: Short Jeffers with four. Most pars in a single event: Terry Butcher with nine.
Back to the present: Noah Callahan opened up a little room at the top of the Individual standings and has a pretty good hold with a 103 point lead over Jim Murphy, the only guy who could catch him. Jim, Bryant Trambaugh, Mark Jones and Buck Holland round out the top five spots and will be slugging it out for position today. In the Team race, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris have a 32 point lead over Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy and could get caught on the final day if bad things happen to the guys at the top and good things happen to the guys in second. So the real fun comes in the Flighted Tournament where everything is open and anybody could step up to the tee box and go low to capture a title. Best come out and gice it your best shot and then see how the tea leaves have arranged themselves at the end of the day. Should be a very exciting conclusion to a pretty remarkable season. Come on down, guys, and bring your A game and something to settle the nerves.

A little body english by Tim Voegerl
Tim using a bit of body english to help his putt go into the hole at #4. To no avail - the ball had a mind of its own this time.
More photos and comments tomorrow.

Tuesday Men
Mike Smith follows last week’s 36 with a 38 that included birdies on #2 and #6; his net score was 31. The team of Mark Jones and Mike Albertson shot a net 62 with Mark’s 36 gross and 29 net leading the way; Mike shot a 40 gross and a net 33. Each of them birdied #7 while Mark birdied #9 as well. Skip Ackerman gave away three strokes on the last two holes and still shot a super 38. Playing with Skip and doing an even better job was Charlie Lyon who shot a 36 and made a ‘clean sweep’ of the extras that the two of them along with John Walker and Phil Eyler play for each week. Charlie’s 36 translates into a 27 net. Bryant Trambaugh slam dunked a shot from behind #8 green for an eagle on #2 and came in with a 38. Buck Holland also found an eagle, his on #5, in a round of 40. Junior Byron starts with four fours and finishes with three threes and a round of 33 which included birdies on four, five and eight. Short Jeffers left several birdies on the table and still came in with a 32, a round that included birdies at two, four, six and nine.
Update Wednesday morning: The Wrap: Low scores for the next to last outing of the season were turned in by Charlie Lyon and Curt Johnson in the net category with 27's. Short Jeffers went low in gross with a 32 while Junior Byron came in with a 33. Low net team score was a 61 shot by Curt Johnson and Bric Parker. Hole prizes were taken by Mike Kidwell on #3 and #8, Mike Albertson on #7 and Short Jeffers on #9. Leaders in the standings remain Noah Callahan in the Individual competition and Terry Padgett and Gary Burris in the Team competition. In the season ending Flighted Tournament, leaders after the first nine holes are: Short Jeffers (A) with a 32, Junior Byron (B) with a 33, Noah Callahan (C) with a 37, Mark Jones and Charlie Lyon (D) with 36's, Curt Johnson (F) with a 38, and Richie Green and Don Nolan (G) with 49's.
Lots of great scores posted during this event. Guess the golfers like those August fairways. Or was it the heat? Mark Jones said he got to the point of thinking more about the heat and not so much about his shot making. Paid dividends for him with his best ever round of 36. And Junior Byron shot a 33 after playing 18 holes with the Tuesday Boyz in the morning. Charlie Lyon with his own 36 was all smiles after showing John Walker, Skip Ackerman and Phil Eyler a thing or two about golf. Skip did much better than he thought he would with his 38. Way too much fun on a sultry early September afternoon.

Tuesday Men: Down to two
A little history: Five years ago, the season ended on this date and we had Wayne Souerdike as the Individual champion and Joe Allen and John Foddrill as Team champions. In flight play, Phil Eyler and Mark Potts shared the top spop in the A+ flight while Greg Potts won the A flight. B+ flight winner was Joe Allen with John Drake winning in the B Flight. John Foddrill took the C flight and Don Nolan won in E. Highlights for the day included low scores of 34 by Terry Butcher and Mark Potts and double birdies by Phil Eyler, Terry Butcher, Brent Courter (who also got low net with a 30), Shannon Bratton and Mark Potts. The weather was overcast with rain in the morning and highs in the 70's.
Back here in 2008, no rain in sight and temperatures 20 degrees warmer. The fairways and roughs are hard and, as you would expect, and the ball is running forever. Greens are holding fairly well though. I would expect Eric is placing the pins in a suitable position (to enhance your playing enjoyment, of course). Would also expect the group average to go down a bit more as it did last week with both the Tuesday Men and the Thursday Seniors. And how about an eagle or two; it's surprising that there were none last week. Maybe we'll make up for it this week with two or three or five. Come on down and give it your best shot.

Tuesday Men Results
Wednesday morning update:
The Wrap:
Guess you all know that the fairways and the greens were pretty hard yesterday and that the balls just kept on going. For some, that turned into birdie time. Four golfers found three birdies in their rounds yesterday: Trenton Kidwell, Phil Eyler, Short Jeffers and Mark Sherer. Another seven found two birdies: Steven Downey, Mike Kidwell, Tyler Kidwell, Terry Butcher, Doug Denson, Chris Bledsoe and Mike Bird. That was a large part of the reason the average gross score dropped to 41.04 from 42.82. Hole prizes were claimed by Jason Rominger, Steven Downey and Chris Bledsoe on the closest-to-the-pin shots while John Drake ran a long putt in on #8. The daily 'Go-for-it' contest prizes were won by Mike Breeden on #4 and Steven Downey on #5. The overall winners in that contest are Tom McAtee at #4 and Mark Sherer at #5. Low scores for the event: low net at 28 was Charlie Lyon with Curt Johnson and Mike Smith tied for second at 29. Low net team with a 60 was shot by last year's team champions, Keith Parsons and Bill Carrico. Low gross was turned in by Trenton Kidwell with a 33 with Doug Denson's 34 taking second place. No change at the top as Noah Callahan leads Jim Murphy by 37 points in the Individual race. Terry Padgett and Gary Burris hold on to first in the Team standings with a scant nine point lead over Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy and a twenty-seven point lead over the third place team of Todd Baker and Noah Callahan.
The results are up. Comments from the golf course up to the time I went out and golfed with Dave Wininger, Mike Arvin and Scott Arthur - I was subbing for Joe Allen.
Mike Smith misses his first par round ever by getting a double bogey on nine but still finishes with his best ever round, a 36; that’s a net 29. Trenton Kidwell had himself a pretty good round by finding birds at four, six and seven; he finished with a gross 33 and a net 30; the 33 is his best round ever. Eddie Green is out there without brother Richie who just became a papa again for the third time, a second baby boy. Charlie Lyons had an exceptional round, a 40 which included an 8 on #5; that’s a net 28 for Charlie on top of the loose change he won from his buddies in side bets. Phil Eyler had to get three birdies to offset three bogeys on one, two and three and a fourth at #7 in a round of 36. The leader of the pack, Noah Callahan, chipped in one on three for a birdie and went on to shoot 37, a net 31. John Drake continued his hot shooting, bringing in a round of 41 gross, net 32 and that was after opening with a triple bogey. Doug Denson breaks into the sub par figures with a round of 34 that included consecutive birdies on holes five and six.

Tuesday Men: Three to go...
Three events to go in this year's league play with the Flighted Tournament covering the last two. Time to get down to business and finish with a roar. First, a little history:
On this date five years ago, Brian Ader (42) and Dick Barber (43) had the low net scores of the day at 28 while Phil Eyler had the low gross at 33. Six different players came in with two birdies: Phil Eyler, Short Jeffers, Junior Byron, Scott Callison, Greg Potts and Dave Wininger. Shooting even 50's were Brent Courter, Ed David and Murray Stuckey; Mark Sutton and Mark Taylor each shot a 40. The day itself was sunny, hot and humid with temperatures in the 90's. Top of the Individual standings: Junior Byron, Wayne Souerdike, Mark Sutton, Tim Voegerl and John Foddrill. There was a tie at the top of the Team standings: Short Jeffers and Don Mills along with Joe Allen and John Foddrill.
Back here in 2008: The Go-for-it contest finishes up today with both the daily winners and the closest shots over the three events. Tom McAtee (just over two feet from the barrel in #4 fairway) and Mark Sherer (just over ten feet from the pin at #5) have the marks to beat if you want to claim the big prize ($25). And, in case you haven't noticed, both races, Team and Individual, remain very close though it seems like Terry Padgett and Gary Burris have been sitting at the top or near the top of the Team standings for most of the year. Something to be said for consistency with both Terry and Gary sharing that characteristic. Noah Callahan currently sits on top of the Individual standings and has started back at school; don't know if that will affect his game much. No hole-in-ones last week; maybe today.

Tuesday Men Results
Wednesday morning update - The Wrap:
At day's end, the leaders in Team remained the same with Terry Padgett and Gary Burris on top with 697 points. Jim Murphy and Rob Sterling are second with 676 points and Todd Baker and Noah Callahan are in third with 670 points. Noah regained the top position in Individual at 1304 points while last week's leader, Jim Murphy, slipped to second at 1285 points. Kevin Byron, Bryant Trambaugh and Buck Holland round out the top five. Hole prize winners were Kevin Byron, Warren Atkison and Curt Johnson with long putts; John Drake, Terry Padgett and Bric Parker with close to the pins; and Bric Parker and Mike Kidwell at #4 and #5 in the Go-for-it contests. Low net team score was turned in by Dave Wininger and Dan Steiner with a score of 62. Low net individuals included John Drake at 27 and Tim Voegerl at 28. Low gross score leaders were James Hager and Dave Wininger at 34.
The results are posted. Notes from the golf course:
Mark Jones brings in a card seven strokes off of last week’s 39 but was very happy with his drive on #5 – happened to hit the cart path and roll a mile – he put his name down on the prize marker. Noah Callahan shot a 38 and was very happy with that; his playing partner, Todd Baker, playing without a rider this week, went south with a score plus thirteen over the 34 he turned in just seven days ago. Gary LaMar and Virgil played early and had superior rounds – Gary a 43 gross and a net 30, Virgil a 46 gross and a net 34. That’s a pretty good team score of 64. John Drake got himself another sub 40 round, a 39; that’s a net 27. Tracy Rayhill was happier with his round of 41 which included birds on the long holes. Buck Holland came close to getting an eagle on #4 but his six foot putt wouldn’t fall into the cup. Bent Courter had a round of 41 gross and 29 net and a birdie on #7. Terry Padgett shot a 37, a net 32, and got his shot at #7 six inches closer to the hole than up-to-then hole prize winner Brent Courter. He also made the putt for birdie, as did Brent earlier. Playing partner Gary Burris played his consistent old self, firing a 41 and a net 35. Kevin Byron started with a putting bomb on #1, some 40 plus feet, went on to get four more pars before coming down to earth and finished the last five holes with a plus eight to come in with a 43 gross and a net 34. Playing partner and dad, Junior, shot a 38 with a net 34. Another father/son combo faired rather well as well: Tyler Kidwell shot a 36 with an eagle on #2 and a birdie on #8 while Dad Mike shot a 37 with a birdie on #4. The nets: a 32 and a 33 for a super team net of 65. James Hager found out he could chip one in the hole on command; his approach shot on #6 came to rest just off the back side and it was suggested that he just chip it in for his birdie. He did just that in a round of 34 that included a birdie at #4 as well. Tim Voegerl got his first eagle ever at #2 with a putt from just off the green that traveled a good twenty feet; he also found a birdie on #5, missed two or three short putts and came in with a nifty round of 39 which translates to a super net of 28. Playing partner Warren Atkison also did well on #2, finding a birdie in a round of 42. Dave Wininger and teammate Dan Steiner shot a net 62 as a team. Dave found birdies on the long holes and shot a 34; Dan shot a more than solid 42 which translated to a net 30. Fives are wild on Scott Arthur’s scorecard: he ran off seven fives in a row before finishing with a four and a three for a round of 42, net 33.
At day's end, the leaders in Team remained the same with Terry Padgett and Gary Burris on top with 697 points.

Tuesday Men, Come on down once again...
History (for the fun of it): Five years ago today, Doug Denson and Junior Byron had the low scores of the day, each with a 35. Junior got one of the two eagles of the day; Larry Sutton got the other; Doug, Abe Knepp, Dave Wininger and Phil Eyler each had two birdies. Tyler Walton, Larry Sutton and John Foddrill tied for the low net with 31's. For the 2003 season, no player had gotten more than one eagle in any single event and only one player had come in with a round of nine pars - Terry Butcher. Short Jeffers was the only one who had come in with four birdies on the day. There was at least one error on the scorecards that was not caught: Keith Parsons' card showed a 7 on #9 - twice par should have topped out at 6 making Keith's final score a 49 rather than a 50.
Back to today, another lovely August day in store for us. There is one change to the hole prize mix: the 'Go-for-it' contest will include daily winners as well as an overall winner. Other hole prizes are the same as last week with the long first putts on #1 and #2 supplementing the usual four at 3, 7, 8 and 9. Three golfers head into today's play with zero handicaps: Short Jeffers, Phil Eyler and Terry Butcher while Mark Sherer is close with a one handicap. Twenty-two players are over a thousand points on the season and within 200 points of the top spot. With four more events to go, who is going to end up on top is anybody's guess Last year the guy in ninth place, a 132 points from the top, came on to take the crown. That would be John Foddrill. John Drake slipped from first to third in the same time span. In Team play, Bill Carrico and Keith Parsons moved from second to first during the four last weeks of the season. Anybody care to predict the winners this year? Lot of guys playing well...
Back to today, another lovely August day in store for us. There is one change to the hole prize mix: the 'Go-for-it' contest will include daily winners as well as an overall winner. Other hole prizes are the same as last week with the long first putts on #1 and #2 supplementing the usual four at 3, 7, 8 and 9. Three golfers head into today's play with zero handicaps: Short Jeffers, Phil Eyler and Terry Butcher while Mark Sherer is close with a one handicap.

Tuesday Men Results
Results are posted for the August 5th rain event and the August 12th current event. Note: A big thanks to all the Tuesday Men who help keep the golf course a very neat place to come and play some golf with a friend or two. Comments from the golf course:
Update - Wednesday morning:
The wrap: Low net scores for the day belonged to Charlie Lyon with a 28 and Tim Voegerl with a 29. Terry Butcher turned in the low gross score, a 33, with Todd Baker and Dave Wininger also going low with 34's. Low net team score at 63 was turned in by two teams: Dave Wininger and Dan Steiner along with Tim Voegerl and Warren Atkison. Hole prizes were claimed by Dan Steiner, Tyler Kidwell and James Hager with long putts; and Trenton Kidwell and Dave Wininger (twice) with close to the pin shots. The 'Go-for-it' contest leaders after the first week (it's a three week contest) are Tom McAtee at #4. His shot came to rest about two feet from the barrel some 180 yards from the tee box. Mark Sherer put one just over ten feet from the pin at #5, some 300 yards from the tee box. At the close of play, leaders in the standings are Todd Baker and Noah Callahan with 660 points in the Team competition. Mark Sherer and Josh Huff are breathing down their necks just eight points back. Jim Murphy jumped to the top of the Individual standings with 1201 points; last week's leader, Noah Callahan, is a scant five points back in second place. Bryant Trambaugh is in third with 1163 points. Average gross score for the event was 42.97, just a bit higher than the previous week.

Tuesday Men
Tracy Rayhill finished with a birdie on #9, even had a par on #7, but didn’t much like the rest of the story - he finished with a 47. Eddie Green found a birdie on #2 and shot seven strokes better than his round for last week; he brought in a 41 gross and a net 32. Tom McAtee, playing early, apparently took the ‘Go-for-it’ contest very seriously; his tee shot on #4 came to rest within a couple of fee of the barrel some 180 yards down the fairway. Now he has to wait another two weeks to see if it will hold up; of course, somebody may have beat him already (Tuesday, 5pm). Mark Jones had himself a pretty good day at the golf course and would have done a bunch better if he hadn’t given away three strokes on the last two holes. Mark shot a gross 39, a net 32. ‘Ace’ Ackerman followed his hole-in-one round of a week ago with a round of 38 though he did manage to bogey #7 (where he got his ace). Charlie Lyon had an excellent round of 41 which included going one over for the last six holes; the 41 translates to a very nifty 28 net. Playing partner Phil Eyler, who was one of many getting back to school this week, had a dismal day at the golf course, firing a 40 with a plus one handicap; that would be a net 41. Ouch. Another ouch goes to Steven Downey who found himself one under after two but then finished with a not so nice plus ten over the last seven holes to come in at 44. Terry Butcher was even after three but then eagled four and birdied seven and nine; add a few bogies to the mix and call it a sterling round of 33. Playing partner Joe Doyle did ok for himself, coming in with a gross 45 and a net 34. Rob Sterling likes his trend line: 46, 45, and now a 44, his best nine holes of the season. Chad Wade subbed for George Templin and shot a super 41 gross and a net 30; could have been better except for a thriple bogey on ‘crazy’ hole #8. Tim Voegerl had himself a pretty good round, a 40 which included a birdie on #5; that would be a net 29. Playing partner Warren Atkison got a couple of birdies in his round of 42, one on #4 and one on #7. Jack Divine brought a friend to ride along with him; she must have inspired him – he shot a 44 gross and a net 32. His playing partner, Short Jeffers had birdies on two and four but plus four on the other holes to come in with a 37. Mark Sherer, back from surgery, hit a monster drive on #5 and is the current leader in the ‘Go for it’ contest at that hole. His ball stopped 10’11.5”s from the pin. He also birdied #2, #5 and #7 in a round of 36. Brent Dalrymple, filling in for Josh Huff, shot a 41 gross and a 32 net (he also subbed for Josh in the August 5th rain event and shot his best ever round, a 37). Todd Baker also had a rider and she provided inspiration as well. Todd had a round of 34 with three birdies, one at #2, and the other two at #8 and #9. Dave Wininger closed well, too. He found a bird and a hole prize at #7, and then picked up the hole prize on #9 as well. The round of 34 was pretty nice, too.

Tuesday Men, Time to Shine!
History: Mark Potts had the low round of the day, a 33, while seven golfers carded two birdies each: Phil Eyler, Mark Potts, Scott Callison, Junior Byron, John Drake, Todd Arvin and Abe Knepp. (That's impressive!) Team standings showed Scott Callison and Mark Sutton on top with Short Jeffers and Don Mills (where is Don now?) in second place. Mark Sutton, Wayne Souerdike, Junior Byron and Tim Voegerl were the top four in the Individual standings.
And now, back to the present: Several golfers have yet to complete their rounds from last Tuesday when the rains visited with us off and on throughout most of the afternoon and evening. Must be in before the end of play today. Because of the rain, hole prizes have been moved forward and will be distributed over the next two events - long first putts on both holes #1 and #2 (will do the same next week). Those two are in addition to the regular four at three, seven, eight and nine. We also have the August 'Go for it!' shot making contests on holes four and five. Object will be to get your ball the closest to a barrel on hole #4 (approximately 180 yards from the tee box) and closest to the pin on hole #5 (does not have to be on the green) over the next three events; that would be with your first tee shots. The usual hole prize fee is your entry into the contest. And, just for fun, let's have someone get another hole-in-one this week. Am sure Skip Ackerman will tell you it's not all that hard - just get up there and whack the ball at the pin, wait for it to come down on the green and watch it make a run for the hole. Easy as making pie, I expect, though I, for one, have never made a pie. Come on out and give it a go.

Tuesday Men Highlights
With the rain event declared, only thirty-seven of the sixty some League members got their rounds in yesterday. Highlights:
Tuesday Men
Rains in the area and a ‘rain event’ was declared. Still, lots of golfers came out and played and one even got a hole-in-one. That would be Skip Ackerman, as noted in a previous blog. Mike Arvin, knowing that the 'rain event' canceled all hole prizes (they double up next week), started a collection for Skip - it's somewhere around $10 through yesterday. Of course, some were wondering where they should go for the traditional free drink. And does that free drink go to just the people in the foursome? or maybe the golfers on the course? or maybe even the entire Tuesday Men's League roster?
Of note: Steven Downey had some excitement of his own, finding an eagle at #2 in a round of 37. John Drake came back from a week off and shot a 39; that would be a very nifty net 26. A couple of zero handicappers, Phil Eyler and Short Jeffers, made it look easy with rounds of 34 and 35. Bill Carrico did some 24 strokes better than he did five years ago, bringing in a card with a score of 42; that's a net 29. Scott Arthur and Dave Wininger both birdied #7, Scott’s shot coming within eight inches of the cup. A second hole-in-one would have been nice. Noah Callahan did not have the kind of round he wanted. The leader of the pack played bogey golf with only one par (on #7) and that negated by a double bogey on #9; that gave him a 44 for the day with a net 38. That's good news for some of his chasers, including Bryant Trambaugh who continued his improved play with a score of 40 gross and net 32. Jim Murphy will also benefit; he shot a 43 gross and a net 33. In spite of the very questionable weather, twenty-three of the thirty-seven golfers shot net par or better. Group average gross score: 42.6.
Reminder: Golfers who have yet to complete their rounds have until the end of play next Tuesday to get them in.

Holy Dandelions! Skip Ackerman gets an Ace
Skip Ackerman, nearing the golden age of 67, hit a towering shot into #7 late this Tuesday afternoon, watched as it hit about eighteen inches in front of the cup and then trickle into the hole. “Holy dandelions!” he exclaimed. “My first hole-in-one!” Playing partners Phil Eyler, John Walker and Charlie Lyon stood around and cheered him in his new found status as a Lakeview Ace. Skip used a King Cobra gap wedge and hit a Pinnacle Gold FX Long ball over the hundred yards from tee to cup. (Photo to follow later.) Very nice shot, Skip.
Tuesday Men, come on down!
History Lesson: Back in 2003 on this date, Short Jeffers had the low gross of the day with a 35 while George Templin had the low net, a 28. No eagles but three players got two birdies: Bob Gilley, Shannon Bratton and Short. Doug Denson had eight pars. Junior Byron was leading the Individual competition while Scott Callison and Mark Sutton were on top in the Team standings. Bill Carrico probably had the worst golfing day of his life, maxing out on six of the nine holes - hope somebody gave him a 'forget' pill. Dave Wininger and Short Jeffers played with zero handicaps that day; Phil Eyler and Doug Denson each had one handicaps. Average gross score for the event was 42.08.
Back to the future: Has anybody noticed that Greg Potts is carrying a two handicap? Both last week and today? That's right there with the big boys. Noah Callahan, leader of the pack, shot a 38 in his Community League round last night; expect he would love to have a 38 today as well - may I suggest a 37? And as long as I'm suggesting, how about a 37 for Bill Carrico as well, which if I remember correctly, would be just a thin one stroke lower than his best round ever several weeks back. Fairways are a little fast and the greens are soft though somebody mentioned yesterday that they were fast - I like that. The surrounds remain fluffy and you will no doubt pay a price if you miss the green, at least some of the time. Expect today's average gross score to be around what it was five years ago but probably not as good - hasn't been that low yet this year. Prove me wrong, guys.
Of note: The two contests I mentioned a week or so ago will take place for three weeks starting next week (August 12, 19 and 26). There will be a Long and Accurate contest, closest to the pin at #5, and a Short and Accurate contest, closest to the barrel on #4. Look for sign up sheets at the clubhouse.

Tuesday Men Results
The results for event 16 are posted. My notes from the golf course:
Bryant Trambaugh turned in his card with a smile on his face: he followed last week’s 37 with a nifty 40 this week. That would be a net 31 for Bryant. Rob Sterling had to play early as well, went out with the Green brothers, and carded a 45 gross and a 31 net; change of playing partners helped this time. Skip Ackerman hit one out of bounds on #5 and then drove the green with his 2nd tee shot; he finished his round with a 39, net 32. First eagle of the day was claimed by Steven Downey who chipped one in at #4; the rest of his round was pretty good with a few birdies offset by a few bogies giving him a 33 gross and a super fine 30 net. Jim Murphy came in and said he was ready to stop golfing; he had just shot a 39 gross, a net 28, and said that was pretty darn good for him. Of course, he was only joking - about stopping golfing - he did shoot the 39. Kevin Byron took the afternoon off and then came out early and shot a super 40 with a net 29; tied his dad with the 40. Trenton Kidwell and Chris Bledsoe managed to birdie #4 but that turned out to be the highlight in a disappointing round for each of them, a 40 and a 42. TJ McAtee and sub Josh Hawkins each shot solid rounds of 37 and 41 and netted a team score of 64. Jon Boyd subbed for Tyler Kidwell, shot a 39 and had his eagle putt on #4 come up about this far (think a tiny bit) from dropping in. Short Jeffers had three birdies, four pars and a single bogey to come in with the 2nd 33 of the day. Brent Dalrymple subbed for Dave Strange, shot a 38 with a birdie and a hole prize on #3, and a net 30. Dave Wininger shot one under over the last four holes; the first five were something else in his round of 40.
Update Wednesday morning: The wrap: Short Jeffers and Steven Downey's 33's were the low gross scores for the day while Jim Murphy's 28 was the low net. Don Nolan and Kevin Byron tied for second place in low net with 29's. Low net for a team was turned in by Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy, playing separately, with a more than decent 59. Hole prizes were claimed by Brent Dalrymple at #3, Mike Breeden at #7, Ryan Johnson at #8, and Terry Padgett at #9. Leaders remained the same with Noah Callahan staying in front of charging Kevin Byron and Jim Murphy in the Individual competition. In Team play, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris keep rolling on with Todd Baker and Noah Callahan, and Mark Sherer and Josh Huff giving chase in second and third place. Average gross score was 42.23, down more than a stroke from the previous week. (Hard fairways make for longer drives; would expect most golfers to agree that length, off the tee box, really does matter.)

Dave Wininger shot one under over the last four holes; the first five were something else in his round of 40.
Update Wednesday morning: The wrap: Short Jeffers and Steven Downey's 33's were the low gross scores for the day while Jim Murphy's 28 was the low net. Don Nolan and Kevin Byron tied for second place in low net with 29's. Low net for a team was turned in by Rob Sterling and Jim Murphy, playing separately, with a more than decent 59. Hole prizes were claimed by Brent Dalrymple at #3, Mike Breeden at #7, Ryan Johnson at #8, and Terry Padgett at #9. Leaders remained the same with Noah Callahan staying in front of charging Kevin Byron and Jim Murphy in the Individual competition. In Team play, Terry Padgett and Gary Burris keep rolling on with Todd Baker and Noah Callahan, and Mark Sherer and Josh Huff giving chase in second and third place. Average gross score was 42.23, down more than a stroke from the previous week. (Hard fairways make for longer drives; would expect most golfers to agree that length, off the tee box, really does matter.)
Tuesday Men Special Contests
Tuesday Men should look forward to two special contests coming up in August: Closest to the pin shot on #5 which will measure both length and accuracy; and closest to the pin shot on #7 which will measure accuracy. Look for details and sign up sheets in the next several days.
Tuesday Men on the stage
A little history: Five years ago today John Walker had three birdies (on 1, 2 and 7) and shot the low of the day with a 33; Gary Burris had the lone eagle (at #6). Eddie David and Stewart Blake, you remember them, shot the low net scores, a 28 and a 29 on gross scores of 43 and 41. John's 33 was the only score of par or better though 21 of the 43 players had net par or better. Average gross score for the day was 42.4.
Today, three golfers head into play with zero handicaps: Phil Eyler, Terry Butcher and Short Jeffers. Terry Padgett and Gary Burris still sit at the top of the Team standings - seems as if they have been there forever. Noah Callahan will be looking for another sub 40 round to stay on top in the Individual competition - lots of wannabes itching to knock him from that spot. Course conditions: fairways hard and fast; greens: soft and not so fast; roughs and surrounds: high and fluffy. Weather: sunny and hot. Sounds like a good day for fun at the golf course. And a bunch of low scores.
