Braving the Elements

Twenty-seven gutsy golfers showed up this morning to take on the wind and the cold in the Knights of Columbus first scramble of the year. Winds gusting to 30 mph (?), temperatures hovering right around 40; golf skills dormant or non existant or waiting for another day to make an appearance. All of the above make for an enjoyable outing, really. Winners were Terry Butcher, Brandon Smith, Kevin Downey and Will Trout with a score of, now get this, 65. That's 5 under. That's less than half of what it would normally take to win a scramble out here. Second place was decided on the cards with two teams coming in with a nifty 67, that's 3 under. Wow. Somebody call the sheriff - they're shooting the lights out up north of town today. The winning 67 belonged to Dave and Lee Wininger along with Mark Jones and lil ole me. It's cool. (Diane took a couple of pictures which I will post this evening.)

LPGA update: Thru 13, Laura and Lorena, who are also braving the elements, tied for first at -13.
