Seven players turned out this day for what was to be a season course best for five of them. It was hot, muggy and still; which allowed the group to see some of the best drives and second throws of the season! Add to that the fact that the esteemed Furman Sanders made his first season appearance and you have a round that was truly enjoyable for all.
And, as it always seems to play out, the final round leaders were all knotted up as the group approached the Travis Trail (holes 15, 16 and 17). However, since no one really gives a flip (no pun intended) about the details, Wayne took a stroke on Sammy at 17 and held on to take the round, tying the season course record at -15 (see the action under the video tab above). The rest of the field followed.
So far, we are keeping league points (for what I do not know but I love statistics) based on every round played. Please note the news for May 12 "Overall Standings" which speaks to the concept of league scoring and let’s be ready to discuss this at the next round.
Speaking of league scoring, Sammy (though he choked and fell behind on 17) actually took the Overall standings lead due to a couple of missed rounds by our Target sponsored, heretofore, league leader MaT. And, Wayne with his stellar putting (he did not miss a single putt if you can believe that) and a couple of nice approach birdies, edged out Frito from third place by one-half of a league point.
Oh yeah, the players who scored their season’s best are:
Wayne @ -15, Sammy @ -14, Frito @ -7, Furman @ -4, Wiggins @ 4 (this was the first singles round for both Furman and Wiggins, but that still counts).
The fun continues and the competition is heating up; so be there for round 9 next Wednesday! In accordance with league rules; if we have an even number of players, the round will be a random doubles format.
