The 2010 Super Bowl Scramble was held on Sunday, February 7th. Despite the weather being cool again, we still had a wonderful field of 19 teams for the event. The festivities for “Super Sunday” began with a 12:00 Shotgun for golf and a Super Bowl Party in the Member’s Lounge followed at 5:30 PM.

The format for the Super Bowl Scramble was four-person captain’s choice. We awarded two places for the overall low gross teams and six places for the overall low net teams.

Taking home the gross title was the foursome of Kenny Brown, Vince Troyka, Galen Gill, and Telly Eller. Team “KB” posted a score of 60 to edge out the team of Steve Pachol, Chris Weidner, Jerry Weidner, and Pete Clough by one shot. Vince Troyka gave all of the credit for the win to Kenny Brown, who hit his career “flop shot” on the 13th hole to secure the victory.

Winning the Overall net tile was the team of David Smith, Al Davis, Bryan Fink, and Mark Hocutt. David, Al, Bryan and Mark teamed to fire a net score of 53 which was one shot better than the team of Lance Lee, Daniel Voyles, Joe Griffin, and Bob Powers who posted a wonderful score of 54. Three teams tied for third place net, posting scores of 56, but Kirk Hudgens, Freddy Powers, Steve Norris, and Joe Bianchi secured the third place spot via a match of cards.

News & Tournament Information from January

The 2010 Polar Bear was held on Saturday, January 23rd. The weather matched right up with the name of the Tournament. Temperatures never got out of the 40’s and we had a brisk wind blowing all day. Despite the lack of cooperation with Mother Nature, we still had sixteen four-player teams for the event. The format for the event was Texas Scramble and the best two balls of the foursome counted toward the team score. We awarded prizes for both the best two-ball gross and best two-ball net scores.

In the Gross Division, the team of Pete Clough, Rich Houghton, Jerry Weidner, and Vince Williams posted a score of 132 (12 under par). This foursome’s score was six shots better than the second place gross foursome of David Bunn, Floyd Hedlund, David Mottershead, and Dick Read.

In the Net Division, the team of Dennis Waller, John Jarema, David Prezioso, and James Prezioso posted a score of 109 to take home top honors in the Net Division. Their score of 35 under par was three shots better than the team of Chris Bailey, Ron Duncan, Mark Jordan, and Tom Klipstine who got together to fire a score of 112 and finish in second place via a match of cards.

Finishing in third place was the team of Sandy Forbes, Lauralee Hansen, Natalie Huff, and Weslyn Hutto who also fired a score of 112.
