In a rain/lightning interrupted and shortened event (15 holes) the full field (52 players across 26 teams) had an interesting go of it.
In the Gross division, Richard Brynteson & Luke Rajkowski held on to a one stroke victory over Howie Hoffman & Brad Jordan. Richard & Luke managed a 1 under front 9 versus the level par from the chasers, and that was the difference maker.
Rounding out the top finishers were 3rd place at +1, Larry Hahka & Doug Paquette and a three-way tie for 4th at +2 with Roger Hamm/Gerry Meier; Stan Hop/Steve Shellenbaum; Pete Steichen/Sheldon Silberman.
The Net division was also a close finish with many of the same names as above. Hahka/Paquette with a 1 stroke win at -9 over Brett Nybo & Dylan Johnson. Nybo/Johnson had a 3 stroke lead at the turn but stumbled on 13 and 14 to slip back.
Third place at -7 was Steichen/Silberman and in a four-way tie for 4th place at -6 were: Conner Paulson/Charlie Morse; Meier/Hamm; Brynteson/Rajkowski; Hop/Shellenbaum

Too bad we had to shorten it as the final 3 holes could have been a difference maker with the results so tight.
Our weekend events have been very full, so remember to sign up for the next event, the Tupperware 2 person scramble on July 27th. Registration ends July 19th.
Imagine asking the prettiest girl to prom and she actually says ‘yes’. Oh, happy day! Then, at the dance, you step all over her feet and maybe puke up your fancy Cheesecake Factory dinner on her dress for good measure.
That’s what I’ve felt like twice this year, dear reader.
My latest prom date was 10-time Club Champion, Mr. Howard Hoffman. (First prom date was 2-time Club Champion, Mr. Erik Swanson in the Rotation). My guy Howie shoots a smooth +1 on his own ball, mmkay, I mean really smooth and really stress-free, with several can’t-believe-they-didn’t-drop burned edges in a what-may-have-been 5 under par performance (again, on his own ball). Meanwhile I’m all over the place, out of rhythm, out of breathe (riding in a cart, nonetheless), and quite literally sick to my stomach. I contribute two ho-hum pars to get us to -1, along with a bogey on top of one of Howie’s two bogies (neat). Do I have any birdie chances to help the cause? If you think a couple 20+ foot birdie putts qualify as “chances”, then I sure did…but we all know I did not. At least after the dance, Howie was all smiles and said all the nice things…but he would not have invited me to the after-prom party at Kingston’s mom’s lake house, that’s for sure.
Now, imagine you don’t embarrass easily and will again ask the pretty girl to prom… Erik, will you go to the 2-Man Scramble with me?
Fingers crossed, e’rybody!
