Rock Ridge

 

Ladies Day

Some familiar faces as well as some new faces made their way to Rock Ridge for Ladies Day’s Even Holes format. A reoccurring theme provided yet another scorecard playoff determining the winner. Winner Julie Davies shot a 34 and was followed by Janet Duffy, also shooting a 34.

 

Men’s League

With the summer in full gear, participation has increased every week during Men’s League play. Cleaning house this week, Mike Johnson and Bob Tendler tied for first place. Close behind by merely a half point difference was Art Weisgerber in third, followed by John Gschwind in fourth.

 

Parent/Child

Frank and Thomas Gavel took on a full field trying to repeat as Parent/Child Champions. The competition was fierce all the way to the end. Competitors Robert and Josh Houle matched the Gavels shot for shot, but in the end they were out-dueled by the reigning champs, who won in a scorecard playoff.

 

Mixed Firecracker
