Going to be a lovely day. What better way to start it than by coming out and playing a little golf! Of course, maybe you've been out for a 3 mile walk already, and had a healthy breakfast.
The Thursday crowd starts its version of the July Match Play Tournament (here for details). It runs for the entire month - four dates; team with the most of the hole points (not the low net points) gets the prize.
For the regular season, the leaders at the moment are John Chapman and Dick Barber in team competition - they go up against Frank and Susan Fee this morning. And Mike McLaughlin in individual competition - he goes up against the field. Leaders at the end of the day? Could be any of a number of teams and individuals. Best come out with your A game and see if you can grab the brass ring.

Tuesday Men's League Event 11 Recap
The July Match Play Tournament started with the #2 seed as well as last year's champions making an early exit. Dennis Brosmer and Tom Trambaugh, the 32 seed, fired a net 66 to beat the #2 seeded team, Skip Ackerman and Mike Strawn (subbing for John Walker) by a single stroke. Last year's champs, Mike Albertson and Mark Jones, fell to #4 seed Jordan Divine and Mitch Jeffers by a score of 66 to 74. In the 16 matches on the day, nine were won by the underdogs while seven went to the favorites. The #1 seeded team, Curt Johnson and Tyler Walton, beat the short handed team of Tim Voegerl and Warren Atkison (unable to play), 71 to 73. The #3 seeded team, Tom Walker (with Vic Wallace subbing) and Mike Bird, advanced by beating Wayne Souerdike and Joe Allen by four strokes, 64 to 68. The tournament continues next week with eight matches and, again, with the net team score for nine holes determining the winner. Weeks three through five will be played in head to head match play format.
In regular season action, Mark Potts at 33 and James Hager at 34 turned in the low gross scores for the day. Vic Wallace with a 28 and Jordan Divine with a 29 had the low net scores. Team low net was a 64 shot by Vic Wallace and Mike Bird. John Drake shot a net 35 and increased his slim lead in the individual standings. At 844 points, he leads second place Jordan Divine by eight and third place Skip Ackerman by nine. In team competition, the Tom Walker/Mike Bird team, with an assist from Vic Wallace, took over the top position on the strength of their 62 point day. Their 458 points leads the John Walker/Skip Ackerman team by a scant six points and last week's leaders, Curt Johnson and Tyler Walton, by seventeen points. Hole prizes were claimed by Dave Wininger, Travis Brett and Mike Breeden with close to the pin shots, and by Jordan Divine, Mark Potts and Short Jeffers with long putts. Average gross score for the group was 42.68, up a bit from the 41.86 of a week ago.

I did it again...
So, I posted the averages and then said to myself it's time to put together the weekly news report for the Tribune. Wait a minute, I thought, wondering if because of the holiday there was another early submission of articles. Went into the other room and checked last week's issue to see if there was a reminder/notice on the front page. Yup. Due last Friday. Dang. That means another oppsie for me - no Lakeview Golf Course News article in the Tribune this week. Dang, again.
