Norris and Potts Hang On to Win Team Title

The Senior League results are posted. Bob Norris and Sam Potts squeak through as team champions when Kenny Hudson and Carroll Rayhill come up short against Dave Trinkle and Walt Bowens. Hudson and Rayhill needed to get at least one more point than Potts and Norris and instead came up two and a half shy. Sam and Bob actually lost their match against John Chapman and Richard Barber, 7.5 points to 6.5 points, but managed to get enough points to stay atop the board and walk off with the trophy for the season.

In the race for second place in the individual competition, Wayne Pearl shot a net 31 which gave him enough points to slip ahead of Al Kavanuagh, Bob Norris and Dave Strange to claim the hotly contested second place spot. Charlie Sheetz, who wrapped up the championship last week, coasted this week, shot a 53 and collected zero points. Guess he was seeing if he really was uncatchable. The answer: yup, uncatchable.

In other news:

-Diane Bird waited till the last event to get her best ever score, a 43, which gave her a net 29. That was good enough for low net honors. She also got herself a hole prize at always tough #3.
-Allen Swayze (45) and Clyde Wake (51) also had good rounds, each ending up with net 30's.
-Junior Byron went low with a 36 and walked away with the low gross for the day.
