A Change at the Top

It was a warm and sunny night for golf. The conditions would have been perfect had it not been for the black flies and mosquitoes swarming and sampling us.

The top teams continue to keep things crowded near the top of the standings. The Fat Shafts took advantage of some help by the Dubbers to move into sole possession of top spot for the first time in many years.

Three teams swept their matches as the Fat Shafts, Latecomers and Rolling Stones all took six points. The Bogies came close with five and the Fivesome and Southpaws each earned four points. Taking two points each were the Whizbangers and the Dubbers while CCCP grabbed a single point.

Rick Dean tied his leading Individual Low Gross score by shooting another 26 tonight. I was also informed that Jim Conley had an impressive recovery on hole 17. After putting his tee shot in the pond he proceeded to hit from the red blocks and holed out for par. The Closest to the Pin winners were Dave Reid on hole #6 and Josh McDonald on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Don Muldoon.

Fat Shafts Grab Share of Lead

The top of the standings continues to be crowded but for the first time in a while more than one team shares the top spot. The Fat Shafts, led by Stephen Westlake's low round of 28 for the night, took six points from the Hackers and share first place with the Southpaws with 26 points each.

Other teams sweeping their matches to earn six points included CCCP and the Bogies. The Southpaws, Dubbers and KGB each took four points while the Latecomers, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers earned two points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Scott Reilly on hole #5 and Denis Schick on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Mark Lafee.

We also want to congratulate Tom and Alida on the birth of their newest Granddaughter.

Rough Night For Scoring

It's hard to say why the scores were so high tonight when it was such a perfect evening for golf but every team struggled to score well.

Dave Powell tees off on Hole #7.

I don't recall another night in my years in the league where no team scored under 100. The lowest team gross was turned in by the Southpaws with a 102.

As far as the nights match ups were concerned, only the Fat Shafts, Dubbers and Latecomers took all six points. The Rolling Stones took five points while the Hackers and Southpaws each grabbed four points.

Lyle Williams shows his form on the 2nd hole.

Earning two points were the Bogies and KGB while the Wedgers took a single point.

Not everyone struggled as the low score for the night was turned in by Kyle Wilkinson with a 28. The Closest to the Pin winners were Coady MacGillvary on hole #4 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Peter Hughes.

Rick Dean Was Dialed In Tonight

After a slow start for many to the season, the cobwebs are starting to disappear and the lower scores are being posted. Rick Dean was turned in the lowest individual round of the young season tonight by shooting a one under par round of 26. Paul Reid also had an impressive even par round of 27 this evening as well.

It was almost another week of clean sweeps in the matches with the Fivesome, Southpaws, KGB, Rolling Stones and Wedgers all taking six points. The Fat Shafts earned four points while the Dubbers took two.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Symen Korver on hole #3 with a very tight shot while Tyler Donaldson also put his tee shot close on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Randy Conley.

A clerical error week one resulted in a missed low team score and the Team Low Gross being reported erroneously. The current leaders in this category are the Whizbangers with a score of 91. Sorry for the confusion.
