Golf tournament followed by after-game party

SCRAMBLE-SHOTGUN

Nine teams of six players of various skills played in the LW Men’s Golf Club-sponsored Scramble-Shotgun tournament on May 3. Each group teed off at a different hole at 7:30 a.m. on a warm, sunny day. Following special rules, the teams competed for the lowest score after 18 holes.

The Turtle Lake Golf Course was set up with men’s and women’s tees at the markers and the flags in the center of the greens. To further challenge the teams, each player was required to use his or her tee shot three times during the round. After that it was a matter of choosing the best ball to play and continuing until the ball went in the hole. This required some interesting course and player management.

After the tournament, Bruce Bowles and Mike Mayfield sponsored a get-together of the golfers on the course patio with drinks from Bruce and Mike and snacks brought by players.

Appreciation also to Liz Meripol for getting up super early to make the coffee and Jae Kim for acting as the starter. Additional thanks to the Recreation Department for pushing through approval of the tournament in record time.

With the tremendous participation and enjoyment expressed by the golfers, it is anticipated that this event will be repeated several times a year. This will require volunteers to help sign up players, collect fees and assign teams as well as the numerous other tasks required to make the tournament a success.
