Hlovchiec/Shaut:
Paula and Kathy both shot the same gross score, but Kathy won the match 6 1/2 to 3 1/2. Kathy had her 1st par on #1, sinking a long, 35 or so foot putt. Paula was hitting the ball really well off the tee all night, but struggled a bit with her short game. She did make a nice 4 on #7, and bogeyed #'s 1 and 2. Hub and Dave's match also ended up 6 1/2 to 3 1/2, with Dave winning. Hub finished well, parring #'s 8 and 9. He also parred #'s 4 and 6. Dave played well, shooting a gross 38, net 32. He parred #'s 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8.
Gennaro/Smith:
Jim and Rita Spata substituted for Dan and Brookan against Bill and Shirley Smith. Brookan must have given Rita quite a pep talk because Rita went on a tear, winning 7 holes outright, and halving 2, for 9 to 1 win. She shot a net 30, very nice. Shirley hung in there, had a 4 on # 5, always a good score. Bill Smith did all he could to keep the match as even as possible, winning the match against Jim 6 1/2 to 3 1/2. Bill parred # 7, and shot a net 36. Jim parred #2, and would have had a much better gross and net score had he not run into some trouble on #8.
Downing/Taylor:
Like Rita Spata, Susan Taylor showed up to play last Friday night! Poor Nancy never knew what hit her! Susan won 7 holes, only lost one, and tied the other, on her way to a net 34. Nice job Susan. Nancy did her best but not sure anyone could have beaten Susan in match play last Friday. Nancy had a 4 on # 5, but was clearly a bit off her game. She has been recovering from some back pain, but she played through! Jim held up his end of the bargain, trying to offset the big win by Susan, winning his match with Doug 6 1/2 to 3 1/2. Jim and Doug both shot net 38's, but Jim was able to put up the best scores on enough holes to win. Doug seemed to be playing poker, having 5 6's, a big winner in cards but not generally such a good set of numbers in 9 holes of golf. Doug did par # 7, which is always good.
Kuhn/Paul:
Same story as in the two previous women's matches, Ruth won 8 1/2 to 1 1/2 over Janet, on her way to a net 34. Always nice to be under par. Janet is one of a few ladies in the league this year without an official handicap so is playing with what is probably a too-low handicap. Hopefully that will change soon and her handicap will better reflect where here game is right now. Janet had 5's on both par threes, which is good for a relatively new/infrequent player. Ruth was a model of consistency, throwing up a number of 5's and a 4 on # 7. Jerry and Jay had close match, with Jerry coming out on top 6/4. Jerry matched Ruth with a net 34, and Jay shot his best nine of the year, gross 43, net 33. Jay told me he had a lesson with Kerry last week before the match, and, it looks like it payed off! Nice job, Jay.
Miller/Wilson:
Mary Ann Wilson sent poor Stu out on his own to play the tough Team Miller. Both matches were close, but in the end, the Miller's took both sides. Linda won 6 1/2 to 3 1/2, Joel won 6 to 4. Linda shot a net 36, one under women's par, nice round Linda. Joel also shot a net 36, one under women's par!. Stu birdied #2, nice 3, Stu! Stu also parred the last three holes. But, it wasn't enough to get past the dynamic Miller duo!
Yingling-Lansdell/Bowie:
This match had one of those "kiss your sister" results, a split, with Debbie winning her match against Sandy 6/4 and Lowell winning his match against Randy 6/4. They could have just had dinner, but what fun would that have been! Debbie shot a net 34, and Sandy wasn't far behind with a net 37, both good rounds. Sandy had a 4 on # 5, and Debbie parred # 7, and also claimed the Women's closest to pin award for the night. Randy took the Men's closest to the pin on # 5. Lowell shot a net 32, very strong, and enough to just get by Randy, who shot a net 36, also a good round. Lowell parred #7, and Randy parred #'s 3 and 5.
Basone/Trame:
Tom and Susan Young substituted for Ben and Darlene Basone. Ben and Darlene were off on their way to an Alaskan cruise. Can't wait to hear about the trip! Billie didn't show any sympathy for sub-Susan, winning the match 7/3. Billie was the model of consistency, posting mostly bogeys, and a par on #7, for a net 35. Susan also played well, putting up a net 37. Tom and Gary battled to a draw, 5/5. Tom parred #'s 1, 5, and 6, and Gary posted a lot of bogeys. Their handicaps were the same so it was just a matter of how the scores fell.
Garrison/Sparks-Anderson:
Jack and Robin couldn't play so forfeited the points to Sandy and Jeff. Sandy and Jeff always go out and play a round anyway ( I said play a round, not play around!). I don't have the scorecard from the round but understand Jeff and Sandy both shot under par, but Jeff, as usual, lost to Sandy. And not just net--heard Sandy buried him on the gross score. Way to go Sandy since most men at O'Bannon can't beat Jeff!
So, that's a wrap on last week's matches. See y'all at "The Creek" Get out there and play 18 or 36, but hey, let's be careful out there!
Dave
