Tomorrow's Manager's Scramble will again start at 10 am what with the cooler temperatures.

Byrons win Senior Scramble

Lakeview's Senior League started its season with a two person scramble earlier today. Though skies were again threatening, the rains did not show up as 15 golfers competed for the first blue ribbon of the new season. Pam and Junior Byron, recently returned from sunny Florida, won both low gross and low net with scores of 32 and 26.33. Vic Wallace got a hole prize for longest putt on #1, while Mike Bird, Morris Cornelius and Albert Kavanaugh got hole prizes for closest to the pins on #3, #7 and #9. Regular season competition starts for the seniors next Thursday at 9am.

Thursday's Senior Opening Scramble

Well, it's not raining yet and the chances of the weather slipping by to the west and north, as it did on Tuesday, are what - 50%? 30%? 5%? Guess we'll just have to go out and see. If it doesn't rain, here's what we'll be doing with a start time of 9am:

Notes for Thursday's League opening two person scramble:

-prizes for low gross and low net scores; team handicap will be determined by adding players' handicaps and dividing by 3 with a maximum handicap of 9 for any team.
-Hole prizes: #1 - longest 1st putt; #3, #7, #9 - closest to the pin.
-Because of the very watery conditions in fairways #6 and #8, use forward tee box on #6 (red), and for #8 go to red, white and blue tee blocks just off of #8 green.
-sand traps are closed - free drop.
-area adjacent to #7 tee box is now in play (not out of bounds); play your ball in that area without movement or penalty.
-Because of the wet conditions, there is plenty of high grass and very soggy ground where balls will hide; spend minimum time looking for lost balls - take a free drop in agreed upon vicinity.

Tuesday Men Pictures

Pictures: Terry Padgett hoping history would repeat itself - looks like Junior and Kevin and Gary are expecting similar great things; the Kidwells with Jason Rominger and Joe Allen avoiding the watery 8th; Short Jeffers with his own fist pump after sinking a long putt on 9 - guess Ryan and James weren't all that impressed.

Rain goes elsewhere, Tuesday Men Scramble

The rains were expected to start falling around three this afternoon; then around six this evening. Sometime a little after eight, the last foursome finished up and we were able to post the winners of our first opening day scramble without a drop of rain coming down on our heads. Give thanks to the wayward winds with their little nudge pushing the storms just west and north of us.

For the record, here are the winners of the scramble and the sharpshooters who got themselves a hole prize:

-low gross: the team of Mark Jeffers and Tim Voegerl turned in a score of 30 with Tim running in the longest putt on one and Short running in an even longer one on nine. Five other teams posted scores of 31.

-low net: new players in the Tuesday Men's League, Mark Sherer and Josh Huff turned in a score of 31 which translated into a net of 26.66. Two teams, the Denson/Holland team and the Jeffers/Voegerl team, tied for second in net with scores of 28.

-Hole Prizes:
--Longest putt on #1: Tim Voegerl
--Closest to the pin #3: Mike Kidwell
--Closest to the pin #7: Dean Winkler
--Closest to the pin #9: Curt Johnson

Congratulations to all the winners and to all the players who braved the 'possibility' of rain and came out and played just for the heck of it. Next week, regular season gets underway.
