Teebirds results June 18.26 Scramble at Weibring
Oh, what a beautiful morning… as the song goes! It fit perfectly at the ISU Weibring Golf Course where 18 Teebrid golfers gathered for a Texas Scramble. Even with the heavy rain the day before, the grounds crew had the course in playable condition on most fairways, sand traps and greens. Thanks to Dave Williams for making early morning Team adjustments. Due to delayed arrivals and no-shows, Lane Crothers handed out scorecards, re-aligned some Teams and carried out the STARTER duties wonderfully getting the first 4-some through the large standing water area off to the first tee by 8 a.m. Al Pote had the cooler of drinks up on dry land for our golfers. Thanks to all for your work with the Teebirds.
Five groups did their part staying on or near the cart paths carding the 9-hole SCRAMBLE with scores of 37, 37, 35, 34 and 32 for a 35 (-1) average.
One 37 score was posted by Team John Walker, Gary Duffy, Sandy Groves and Chuck McGuire. A notable event was John sinking an 18’ putt on # 8 to secure a birdie 3.
The second Team with 37 was Wayne Lockwood, Gary Klass, Bob Bahnsen and Ken Smiciklas. The card was filled with pars except for bogie 4 on the par 3 # 8.
Cal Lawrence, Gerry Chrisman, Lane Crothers and Bruce Burningham turned in a nice score of -1 35. Birdies on holes 3 and 9 were just fine. The blemish on the card was the bogie 5 on hole 5. Bob B did a solo birdie 3 on hole # 3 and Gerry C had the solo par on # 7.
A lean Team of 2 players John Couillard and Hank Campbell stroked their way through 9 holes with a – 2 34. John saved the par on # 5 sinking a 24’ putt. Two birdies were scored on the par 5 # 6 and a 3 on the par 4 # 8. Two birdies and 2 pars on the last 4 holes was a fun challenge.
The low SCRAMBLE score of the day was 32 by Ben Kahle, Jerry Youngmark, Mike Novario and Scott Lage. Four birdies and 5 pars showed up on the scorecard. The card noted that Mike was NOT the putting ACE for the Team. Scott was the man with drives on 5 of the 9 holes! However, the card noted that Jerry made 3 of the birdie putts on holes 2, 5 and 6. Ben K contributed the birdie putt on # 7.
PRIZE BALLS: For the stellar SCRAMBLE score of 32, one ball each for Captain Ben Kahle, Driver Man Scott Lage, Maker of birdie putts Jerry Y, and the ‘no luck’ putter on the greens, Mike N. Congrats to all.
Next week, June 25th, our Teebirds will meet back at ISU Weibring for our next Texas Scramble. Larry K will be the STARTER for the 9 A.M. tee time. Hank plans to have some hole challenges during the round.
We will have a lunch SOCIAL around 11:15. Sandy has arranged for Avanti sandwiches, chips and drinks via Al Pote and desserts by JoEllen Bahnsen. Cost will be $13 payable to Hank, correct amount appreciated.
Thanks for playing the Texas Scramble today. Plan to stay safe given the unsettled weather forecast for the weekend. Let’s look forward to our next outing adventure together. Our Teebirds are just a great group!
