Tony the Tiger Burnside and Phil em Culver, the leaders of the Tuesday Boyz West Squad that came to Lakeview this morning, fell in their match with Mike Bird and Junior Byron, .5 to 2.5, but it turned out it didn't matter a whit. Their support crew easily turned the tables and handed the East Squad a sound thumping taking sixteen of the twenty-one available points. With the exception of a tie between the Jack Butcher/Rex Hudson team and the Denny Pitts/Danny Thomas team, all the other matches were triumphs by the West golfers. Oh such misery for the East Squad who did some recruiting this year (bringing in John Walker from the Tuesday Men's League and getting Jim Fox to come up from Florida(!)) in an attempt to reverse the stinging defeats of the past two years. But to no avail. The West golfers found their East hosts to be extremely generous in their graciousness at making them feel at home at Lakeview. One might even say that they bent over backwards to ensure that their guests had a good time. Well, they did. People are already wondering if the West golfers will be as accommodating next year when the event moves to Country Oaks. Anyone care to guess?

Hole prize winners at the event were Garth Riffey, Calvin Guy, Mike Anderson, and Jack Butcher.
