I had to laugh when I saw it. Putting the chatter on the Obituary page last week was an absolutely a brilliant placement. The column was full of sadness. We bemoaned the cold and wet weather, the wash-out of league play and the Member/Member Tournament, the decline of golf nationally and locally and the Chipmunk scribe’s unfortunate “Body Composition Analysis” results. Hopefully things will be upbeat and positive for the remainder of the season.
Low net was won by Dickie McKenny and Kyle Feltis with a score of 63, Nick Waltz and Paul Richmond were second with 65 and R. J. Ochs and Bud Elwin, third with 66. The long drive contest was won by Nick Waltz and Carmen Reed. Chris Lincoln was closest to the pin on holes 3 or 12, and Stan Wade was closest on 8 or 17. For the ladies Kristen Mallory was closest on 3 or 12 and Carmen Reed, on 8 or 17.
“It is a contest, a duel, or a melee, calling for courage, skill, strategy and self control. It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a revealer of character. It means going into God’s out-of-doors, getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise, a sweeping of mental cobwebs, a genuine recreation of tired tissues. It includes companionship, kindliness and generosity to an opponent. It promotes not only physical health but also moral force.”
Now a little humor: “I played the tour in 1967, told jokes and nobody laughed. Then I won the U.S. Open the next year, told the same jokes, and everybody laughed.” -Lee Trevino
First place honors with the lowest number of putts went to Stephanie Russell.
There was a three-way tie for second place honors and they were shared by Alice Sherman and two new members of the league, Jane Dahman and Connie Cameron.
