Scramble Results - The Warren Commission

Congratulations to the Warren team (Captain Mike, Dave Downing, Jeff Dvorak, and Jake Holler) for winning their second straight league scramble, with a score of three under par 29 (same as last year).  This can only be explained by a subversion of the rules.  A tournament official will be sure to escort the Warren team at next year's scramble.

The Moritz team (Captain Bob, Tom Hidde, ringer Steve Hineline, and Paul Schuettler) lost the tiebreaker to the Warrens last year at 29, and finished in 2nd outright this year with a 2-under par 30.  I suspect they'd be willing to provide the Warren escort.

A third place tie at one under 31 was broken by the third tiebreaker, as the Miller team beat out the defending league champion McEvilly team by fewest putts, 11-15. (Speaking of repeat performances, this is the second straight year the defending league champion lost the 3rd place tiebreaker.)

Fifth place saw a three-way tie by teams which - if they wanted to be named in this blog - should have taken one less shot.

Some other teams participated, but not necessarily in a way that should be celebrated.  Birdies are in read and bogeys in blue below.

 * Wins tiebreaker on putts (11-15)

Each golfer on the winning team wins a $15 prize, with $10 each for 2^nd place golfers and $5 each for 3^rd place golfers.

• Winners of the hole prizes ($5 each) are as follows:
• Longest holed shot on #3: Steve Hineline (Moritz team)
• Longest drive in fairway #4: Matt Abraham (Nelson team)
• Closest tee shot to pin on #6: Lynn Paulson (Kraus team)
• Closest second shot to pin on #7: Matt Abraham (Nelson team)

 Other notes:

• No eagles this year.
• Good news: 16 birdies this year, up from 11 last year.  Fairways made of concrete can't hurt.
• Bad news: 17 bogeys this year, up from 10 last year.
• Birdie-free holes: Only numbers 5 and 7.  (Last year all the par fours were birdied, but three of the par threes were not.)
• Bogey-free holes: Only #9.

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