Bits and Pieces

-Tuesday Afternoon Scramble start time: 4:45.  Bring a jacket - might get a bit cool before we finish as the temperatures start their drop into the 30's by the next dawn.
-Colts win!  Listened to it on the radio and, from what the Colt announcers were reporting, guess the guys in the stripped shirts were absolutely atrocious.  Son Marty and his lady Laura were in attendance cheering on the guys in blue and white.
-See that Randy Moss is out of a job.  Think he would be a good fit in Indy?  At least for a while as the Colt receivers recover from all their various ailments?
-Giants win!  One grooved pitch by Lee was all they needed to take out the Texans, wrap up the Series, and head into an off season of hunting and fishing and catching up with their families.  So, how long has it been since the Giants last won a WS?  Haven't won since they moved to California; so, does that mean 1954, the year of the Willie Mays catch?  (I remember racing home from high school - St. Joe's up in South Bend - and watching the games, and the over-the-shoulder catch that's we've all seen at least a thousand times since then.)  Yup - was 1954.  Long time for such a storied franchise.  Yea, I know, not half as long as another one of those storied franchises, the Chicago Cubs.  Their time will come, right?
-In case you missed it, Tiger Woods is no longer the #1 male golfer in the world.  Oh well...  He'll have something to say about that starting this Thursday over in Shanghai (the most populous city proper in the world!) at the HSBC Champions Tournament.  Go Tiger.
-Heading out to vote but first to Jim and Wilma's to drop off some money for all those free throws Colin Nelson made (86% - 86 out of a 100) for LHS athletes.

Knights of Columbus Scramble at Lakeview Sunday

The Loogootee Knights of Columbus held a scramble out at Lakeview this past Sunday with the team of Dave Wininger, Mike Seals, Travis Brett and Mike Arvin shooting a 57 to take low gross score honors.  Short Jeffers, Dennis Hardman, Rob Sterling and Mark Trout finished second with a round of 62.  Six other teams participated with their scores ranging from 63 to 69.

Stan Graber and Larry Hembree Win Saturday Scramble

Stan Graber and Larry Hembree used four excellent approach shots and three excellent putts to good advantage and carded a three under round of 32 to win the Saturday Morning Scramble.  Doug Denson and Lee Wininger fired an even par 35 while Mike Bird and Joe Allen shot a 36 to round out the scoring on a cool Saturday morning at Lakeview.

Junior Byron and Denny Wagoner Capture Cold and Windy Thursday Scramble

Seven hardy souls braved the much colder and still windy conditions last Thursday morning at Lakeview Golf Course.  With the game on in spite of the adverse conditions, Junior Byron and Denny Wagoner used a short birdie putt from just off the collar at their first hole, #2, and eight pars to card a winning score of 34.  Lee Wininger, Vic Wallace and Pam Byron shot an even 35 on their round to finish second, while Mike Bird and Dick Lemmon carded a 37 to finish third.

Templin, Rayhill and Bird Fire Five Under, Win Tuesday Scramble on Tiebreaker

George Templin, Tracy Rayhill and Mike Bird fired a five under 30 to tie and then win on a card draw the Tuesday Afternoon Scramble.  Doug Denson and Greg Potts also carded a 30 to have a shot at the win.  Four other teams participated with Dave Wininger and Steve Qualkenbush coming in with a 31, Short Jeffers and Curt Johnson a 32, Travis Brett and Noah Callahan a 33, and Nick Wininger and Mark Jones a 34.  Of note: The Denson/Potts team eagled hole #4; the Wininger/Qualkenbush team were at five under on their round but bogeyed their final hole to slip out of the tie for first.

Fairly competitive scramble for six of the eight teams.  And then there was the -1 team and the -13 team.

(Please post in comments the actual scores of those teams where I was unsure...)

Bits and Pieces

-Michelle Wie fired a two under and finishes at -3 in a tie for 12th at the LPGA Hana Bank Championship in Incheon.  Na Yeon Choi won with a three day total of 206, ten under par.  The world's #1 player, Cristie Kerr, was right there with the Wie Lass in a tie for 12th.

-Recap of the 24 hours from Friday night to Saturday night:

*North Daviess loses at Perry Central when they miss a point after with three and a half minutes to play.
*Joe Allen and I lose the Saturday Morning Scramble when Larry Hembree and Stan Graber go bananas on approach shots and putts.
*Notre Dame makes Tulsa a winner (another one of those 'biggest-wins-ever!) in South Bend by throwing an interception in the end zone with 42 seconds to play and only needing a field goal from a guy who has hit something like a gazillion in a row to win.
*The Barr Reeve V-ballers lose their semi-state match against Indy Luthern after racing to a 2-0 lead up in Odon last night.

Jeesh.

Wait a minute.  The Rangers did win down in Texas last night.  And, of course, there was the Michelle Wie sort of positive note.  And, we do have Sunday and the K of C scramble to look forward to.  That takes place at 10am - just a little bit from now.  So, on with it.

Stan Graber and Larry Hembree Win Saturday Scramble

Stan Graber and Larry Hembree used four excellent approach shots and three excellent putts to card a three under round of 32 and win the Saturday Morning Scramble.  The twosome, playing in cool conditions, started with a birdie at #1 when Stan Graber dropped his approach shot to three feet and an easy putt for a birdie.  On four, Larry Hembree's fairway wood stopped just in front of the green, giving the team an easy up and down.  On #5, after an errant tee shot and a chip that didn't make the green and a second chip that stopped ten feet short of the hole, Larry Hembree rolled in the par saving putt.  On #6, Hembree again had his fairway wood working, getting his ball on the collar of the green for an easy two putt for birdie.  At #7, Larry Hembree again rolled in a ten foot par saving putt.  Graber and Hembree each had approach shots at #8 to about seven feet with Stan Graber this time rolling in the birdie putt.  The two bogeyed #9, giving them a final score of 32, but by then it was too late for the competition.  Doug Denson and Lee Wininger fired an even par 35 while Mike Bird and Joe Allen shot a 36.

Perry Central Wins (correction)

I was looking at old news when I reported earlier that North Daviess beat Perry Central last night.  The truth is:

Perry won. We missed a PAT to lose 14-13 with about 3 minutes left.

From Eric.  Dang.
