Scramble Results

For the first time in the (recent) history of the league scramble, the weather the perfect, the golfing was (sort of) good, and there were no scramble-related controversies. Therefore, I have no whimsical words or fun stories to express what happened. So, apropos of nothing, I'll just quote golf philosopher Al Cervik: "So what? So let's dance!"

Congratulations to the Warren team (Captain Mike Warren, Taylor DeValk , Jeff Dvorak, and Tim Mattes) for winning the 3rd annual league scramble, with a score of three under par 29. They tied the Moritz team (Keith Brown, Tom Hidde, Steve Moritz, and Paul Schuettler) at 29, and were still tied after the eagle and birdie tiebreakers. I was very hopeful we’d get to the dueling pistols, but the tie was broken by the number of putts (Warren 13, Moritz 14).

A third place tie at one under 31 was broken by the first tiebreaker, as the Kraus team (Captain Mike Kraus, Lynn Paulson, Steve Smith, and Andy Taylor) scored an eagle on #9 to no eagles for the defending league champion Nelson team. Fifth went to the Wolfe team via the second tiebreaker – number of birdies (1) over the Weber team.

Here are some potentially interesting stats.

• Eagles – 1 (Kraus Team – The story, as I recall it, was that Andy Taylor holed out from 110 on #9. Representatives from the Guinness Book of World Record are working on verification.)
• Birdies – 11
• Pars – 68
• Bogeys – 10
• Birdie-free holes: 2, 3, 8 (all par threes)
• Bogey-free holes: 1, 6, 8 (meaning everybody scored 3 on #8)
• The only under par score on a par three was the Warren team’s 2 on number 6.
• One team had no scores under or over par, scoring 32 just as Lord Glenway intended.

This officially concludes our halftime entertainment. The race for the second-half pennant begins Tuesday, to see who will take on the McEvilly team in the championship.
