Another tournament in the books!
Forty eight players (12 teams) showed up to play in the annual Boy Scouts Scramble organized by Brad Harguess.
The tournament has a scoring "twist", instead of "mulligans", you get a 2 foot string which you use to get your ball in the hole in the following manner: if you hit your shot (chip or putt) a couple of inches from the cup, you can use the string to "hole out" by cutting off the distance to the hole. Each time you use the string, you must cut off whatever length you used to hole out. Better that a mulligan, if you ask me. And more fun for all of those, "almosts" that we have to live with day in and day out.
There were many very good scores, beginning with a 50 scored by Ricky Nagle, Jordan Williamson, Rusty Wilson and daughter Kelsi. Next came a 54 shot by Paul Gunkel who played with two of his daughters, Haley and Tori (Windsor) and son in law Tyler. This team "disqualified" themselves from the prize pool because their "kid" on the team, is already past 20 years old (you were supposed to have a kid of 18 years of age our younger in each team) and they only wanted to donate... and have fun together! (Paul, like myself, is happier when he gets to play with any of his daughters!)
Next came two teams at 55; Joby Gray, Keith Hulen, Donnie Bursom and Chris Coy who won the scorecard playoff against "dad" Rocky Andresen, with daughter Jill (Cowan), grandson Ryder and son in law Sean Cowan.And, of all of the low scores, the most impressive one was a 56 by Ann Cowan, Charlie Kauk, Terry Anderson and Carter Muncrief, with Ann being the only player with a single digit handicap. Thanks to a long tee shot by Carter, and a great approach shot by Ann to 3 inches on #11, the team scored a rare 2 on a par 5 hole (the only 2 on any par 4 or 5 on Saturday).
In all, kids and adults had a great time!!! See you next year!
