Early Wednesday Morning Notes on Tuesday Play

It's still dark up here on our little hill just south of the golf course, just north of the east-west version of St. Mary's road. Won't be for long before dawn's rosy glow will be rising in the east.

Notes on Tuesday Men:

-John Walker showed up with a magic putter yesterday and played darn good ball otherwise as well to post a 34, his best ever, and take the B Flight trophy. He also closed with two birdies, got the low score of the tournament and the low score of the day. Big feather in the cap to JW.
-Another John, Big John Foddrill, fired a second consecutive league 38 (after another weekend of playing with the boys) and walked off with the crown in the Individual standings and in the E Flight. He destroyed his competition the last two weeks of the season. Sometimes more golf is good for you, wouldn't you say, John?
-Junior Byron cussed and moaned with the placement of the tee blocks at #9 after he and Kevin made a shambles of that hole with a doulbe and a triple bogie. Still, his 36 was good enough to get him a share of the A Flight title with Phil Eyler, each of them firing 71's for the 18 holes.
-Chris Hogan got himself an eagle on #4 but couldn't stand prosperity so he followed that with a quadruple bogie on #5. Three shots out of bounds from the tee. Chris... Still managed to blow out the competition in the F Flight, taking the crown by three strokes with an 82.
-Steven Downey had himself a birdie run on #2, #3, and #4, should have continued it on #5 and #6, and then paid the price with a bogie-double bogie finish. Still finished with a 36...
-Keith Parsons and Bill Carrico calmly went about their business, shot matching 47's, and smoked the competition in the Team race. Keith also finished second in the Individual race and took the G Flight crown. Pretty good for a guy who had to take a year's sabbatical with a bum back.
-Tony Wease, Mr. Consistency, shot a second consecutive 40 to whip up on the competition in C Flight. His 80 won by three over John Drake.
-Tracy Rayhill and Jay Breeden played pretty consistently over the last two weeks as well, a couple of 40's for Tracy, a 39 and a 41 for Jay. Their 80's gave them a share of the C Flight trophy, just nipping a foursome with 81's (Albertson, Gilley, Johnson, and Jay's dad, Mike).

And of course there is the long drive competition which was finally won by Tyler Kidwell but not without some stiff competition during the final minutes of the day and the season as Dave Wininger and Dad Mike Kidwell knocked the ball silley on #6 as well. Approximate distance of Tyler's drive: 317 yards; Dave and Mike's: 300 yards.

Super season, guys. It was a lot of fun watching you duke it out week in and week out. Next week Doug Denson starts his Tuesday evening scrambles, this year with a start time of 5pm.

Rosy glow in the east...
