Wagler and Graber Win Week 2 Scramble, Tie Jeffers and Jeffers for Low 18

Emanuel Wagler and Adrian Graber shot a net 27.67 to win the Community League's second preseason scramble.  The win also enabled them to tie Short Jeffers and Shirley Jeffers for the low 18 hole score of 58.33.  Complete scores here.

Bits and Pieces

-Got an oopsie:  Forgot about getting news in early this week because of Memorial Day.  No Lakeview Golf Course News article in the Tribune this week.  Dang on me...

-Did see the 'exciting' conclusion to the Indy 500 yesterday.  Too bad for the youngster.  Haven't seen much on his explanation (haven't looked).  Rookie error?  Mental lapse?

-Also saw the extra hole at the Byron Nelson tournament.  Some nerves showing up there as well as both players hit their tee shots on the extra hole way off line.  Nice scrambling by Keegan Bradley to get his par; not so nice scrambling by Ryan Palmer with the dunk into the water of his second shot.  Guess you noticed that Ryuji Imada really made a mess of his last two holes (he bogeyed them), keeping him from winning the tournament outright.

-Out at Lakeview, the Community League finished up its 2nd preseason scramble yesterday.  Emmanuel Wagler and Adrian Graber had the low score with a net 27.67.  That score enabled them to tie Short and Shirley Jeffers for the 18 hole low score of 58.33.  Wagler and Graber tied Ken Wagler and Jeremy Graber in shooting the low gross for the week, each coming in with a 33.  This week starts the regular season for the Community League.

-Some suggestions for golfers whose games are slow to rounding into shape this season:  Go out and play as if you know what you're doing; maybe something will click somewhere along the line.  Play more; that elusive rhythm has to be there somewhere.  Don't give up on your clubs - they're the same ones that were hitting all those super shots last year.  Spend some time with your mechanics - putting comes to mind - are you really swinging the short stick like you mean to?  I have a terrible tendency to go outside in with my putting stroke; definitely believe that my own putting problem is mechanics.  Well, that confidence thingee, too.  But that's why it's important to go out there and play as if you know what you're doing.  Right?  In any case, keep at it.  It's bound to get better.

-And for all of you already in the groove, keep it going, the rest of us are going to get there eventually.

-I was down at Jim Bateman's granddaughter's wedding (Perry Bateman and James Weber) Saturday evening - on the Town Square in French Lick.  Took lots of photos, saw lots of golfers.  Photo: Jim with two of his other granddaughters, Emily and Erin.  Nice escorts, Jim.

Stan Graber and Greg Potts Win Scramble at Lakeview

Three of the six two man teams playing in the Saturday Morning Scramble at Lakeview finished their rounds at two under par.  Stan Graber and Greg Potts won on a tie breaking card draw.  Mike Bird and Larry Hembree along with Dave Wininger and Kevin Byron were the other teams shooting minus 2 rounds.  Wayne Souerdike and son Spencer fired a 34 to miss the card draw by a single stroke.  James Hager and Paul Hart finished at even par while Mike Kidwell and Joe Allen, former team champions in Lakeview league play, struggled with their round, finishing several strokes behind the leaders.
