At last, a Tuesday night with weather golf should always be played in. The excellent conditions led to a season low league average, and a season best 5 players shooting under 40. There was only one report of a player hitting the mower parked between the tee and green on hole 8. Congrats to league members for overcoming the latest attempt to make Glenway tougher.
Steve McDonnell rode a hot putter to shoot a league low 36 and became the first player this season to record 12 or fewer putts. Unfortunately for Steve, he was paired against a red hot Michael Brania who shot a net 26 and beat Steve by 2. Caleb Hopkins posted the low net score with a 24 (probably locking up a golf scholarship to UW-Madison this fall). The top two teams had rough nights, bringing several other teams back into the mix for the first half title with two weeks to go.
In other news.....
> Bob Jokisch was kind enough to give 10 strokes to Matt Raymer on holes 4 and 7 combined, but beat him anyway.
> Team Nelson pretended it was going to forfeit all four matches, only to have 2 golfers show up after all four members of Team Rieves had teed off. That clever approach enabled them to double their points won the previous week when all four members played. Brad Nelson - master strategist.
> Chad Shultz returned from his suspension to shoot a 38 a take over the lead for the season low average.
> Pat Fahey is getting married June 20 - tuxes optional.
