Weekly report 9.11.25 Scramble at Den followed with a beverage social
Although it’s been a bit dry over the last month, yet The Den Golf Course was well-watered on a beautiful September morning. Jerry Kukuck served as our STARTER and easily moved 4 Teebird groups off the first tee. Al Pote provided cold beverages for our Teebirds and Dave Williams took care of lsetting up and last minute adjustments with Golf Genius. Thanks to all for your special teamwork.
Hank Campbell, Jerry Kukuck, Lane Crothers and Ken Smickilas got off to pretty good start by checking off the drives of each team member by the first 4 holes. At the end of nine holes they recorded 3 bogeys and one birdie for a disappointing 39 and 4th place finish. No notable shots submitted.
Tied for second place with even par 36’s were Bob Bahnsen, Garl Klass and Rich Strle on one team and Ben Kahle, Sandy Groves, Dave Anderson and Chuck McGuire. The score card noted that Chuck M sank an 18 ft birdie putt on hole # 2 while Dave A finished strong by filling the cup with his 27 ft putt giving the team a birdie on hole # 9. Having bogeys on holes 5 and 8 yielded even par 36.
Al Pote, Gerry Chrisman, Wayne Lockwood and Dave Williams finished the 9 holes with -1 35 for the best Team score of the day. On the 6th hole, Al P hit a 240 yd fairway wood landing the ball on the green after Dave's drive was the only one on the fairway and not lost. The birdie putt was made giving the team their lone birdie along with 8 pars. It likely was used for lively conversation during the beverage social.
Thanks for the arrangement by social committee Al and Sandy who also provided chips. Many thanks and for making arrangements for our season final luncheon with Moe's food just two weeks away.
PRIZE BALLS: Al, Gerry, Sandy and Chuck earned one ball each for the first-place finish.
Next week, Brian will greet us at Ironwood for the 8 am start for a Texas Scramble with Steve Kern serving as STARTER. Weather forecast calls for 90 degree temps for consecutive days next week. Let’s all stay healthy and hydrated for this next-to-the-last outing of our regular Teebird season. Let’s continue to have fun, enjoy each other and strive to play the best golf we can!
