Thursday Match Play League Notes
First nine holes of the 36 hole Individual Handicapped Tournament was played on Thursday, the 3rd of June, with Jim Bateman firing the low net score of the day, a nifty 29, 6 under par. Three players share second place at 4 under par: Jack Lents, Susan Fee and Pam Byron. Bateman and playing partner, Wilma Bateman, also remained on top in the regular season team standings, trumping Clyde Wake and Dave Strange (making his initial appearance of the season!) by a score of 11.5 to 2.5. The Batemans also had the low net team score of the day, a 63. Frank and Susan Fee are in second place in the team standings; they crushed their opponents of the day, Ken Hudson and Carrol Rayhill by a score of 12 to 2. Low gross score was turned in by Mike Bird with a nine par even par score of 35. Walter Henrichsen's 39 was the second best for the day as were his 6 pars. Bird leads the Individual standings and is followed by Wayne Pearl, Jim Bateman and John Chapman. Hole prizes were claimed by Ken Hudson at #7 and #8 while Jack Butcher got the one at #9 for the second week in a row. Average gross score for the day was 46.64, down from 47.11 of the previous week and the second lowest for the season. Event one's average of 46.36 remains the low for the season. Hole #6 played the hardest on the day at 1.6 strokes over it's par 5, while hole #2 played the easiest at .72 strokes over it's par of 4.

Bits and Pieces - My Golf Babe of the Day
My golf babe of the day: Kyanna Strange who was out on Monday with Travis Bullock and Megan Dyal. She was asked to join them on the outing and said she would only if she didn't have to play. So she kept them company and agreed to the photo at the end of play.
Notes on Tuesday Men's League Results
-Terry Butcher had a five birdie afternoon and missed a couple of short putts that would have made his 32 even sweeter. Along with his 33 of last week, that makes a 65 for the last 18 holes. Very nice.
-Doug Denson had a three birdie afternoon and shot his second 33 in a row. That's a 66 for the last 18 holes and that, too, is very nice.
-Trenton Kidwell birdied #2, made a bunch of pars, wondered when he was ever going to get another birdie, then finally chipped one in on eight for his second birdie in a round of 33.
-Mark Potts shot a 37, gave two strokes to the field and finds himself dead last in the handicapped tournament with a net score of 39. I imagine it's been a long time since the field had no player plus five over their handicap for the day.
-Overall, 42 of the 59 players shot net par or better; 35 of them in the better category. Wow!
-Kevin Byron matched his Dad, Junior, with a gross score of 40 but had a few more handicap strokes, 8 to be exact. Each of them came in under par - Kevin at 26 net leads the tournament after the first nine holes, three strokes up on Tracy Rayhill, 4 up on Dennis Brosmer, Doug Denson, John Drake, Terry Padgett and Greg Potts.
-Btw, Tracy and Cory Rayhill each posted rounds of 35. Nifty.
-John Drake shot a super 39 gross and claimed hole prizes at both #7 and #9.
-Mike Bird led the par parade with 8, 3 putted #7 and left two or three birdies on the table. (Been talking with my putter ever since - @#$%^&*@#. Not really, but do have to spend some time on the putting green getting some more Arnie Palmer in my putting swing. Playing partners Mark Sherer and Trenton Kidwell had some kind words on my missing those putts, like an exasperated 'Michael!' or something about strings and skirts and a girl named Alice. Michael, indeed.)
-Another note: Curt Johnson had a more than decent round of six over for holes 2 through 9. He tripled the first hole and we were talking about what he could do to get started, even trying a kinda half stroke (controlled) off the tee at #1. His playing partner, Bric Parker, stepped in the clubhouse at that point and said what he needed to do was get rid of several of his half assed swings to make substantial improvement in his game. Curt and I wanted to agree but...
-Tom McAtee puts in the time at the golf course to improve his game. He finds himself at the top of the individual standings for the second week in a row.
-And Doug Denson and Buck Holland are on top in the team standings. That's through seven events and it seems like they have been there more often than not. The two of them are definitely on their games.

Tuesday Men's League Results: Individual Handicapped Tournament Week 1 and Event 7
Tuesday Men's League results are posted here. Congrats to first round leader of the Individual Handicapped Tournament Kevin Byron. He shot a magnificent gross of 40 which translated into a net of 26 and a 3 stroke lead over Tracy Rayhill.
Tuesday Men - Come on Down!
-Week one of four of the Individual Handicapped Tournament.
-Par-Birdie combo leader to date: Phil Eyler with 32 pars and 7 birds for 39 total, followed closely by Doug Denson with 31 pars and 5 birds for a 36, and Trenton Kidwell with 26 pars and 10 birds for a 36.
-Individual leader, Tom McAtee, was half drenched with the rains last night. He was out to sharpen his game so as to extend his stay at the top of the heap no doubt. Odds that he will? Pretty volatile up there at the top.
-Look for Junior Byron to be a factor in the Handicapped Tournament. He's carrying a gaudy 6 handicap (earned) and has been firing 38's these last few days, even a 37 yesterday. Which is more like his old self. Son Kevin may also be a factor as well with a 14 handicap and the game to shoot in the low 40's.
-Mike Kidwell is another one to watch. He's carrying a 7 handicap and should be playing around a zero handicap. Others: Tony Wease, Bryant Trambaugh, Charlie Sheetz.
-Thought for the day: Get out there and have fun whacking that little orb about in the heat of the afternoon and evening. Bring plenty of liquid refreshment of your choice.
