Week 6, June 5, at Green Haven:
Golden bounced back a 15 – 9 win against Hiawatha moving up to 11th place. Slivken (net 88) was on fire (or at least his opponent was still asleep) and took the front 4 up, holding on to just barely loose the back but win the match for 4 points. Von Eschen got soundly beat with a goose egg. Dan Olson had a tight match tying the front and winning the back and the match on the 18th hole for 5 points. Curt Medina was the big winner taking all 6 points going 1 up on the front and then shooting a gross 41 on the back for the match.
Valley lost to Bunker Hills 10 – 14. Bernardy *net 76) ran into a bit of a buzz saw on the front but came back on to win the back and the match 1 up for 4 points. Allen (net 95) and Jeff Olson (net 96) had tough outings and were skunked. Larry Jocelyn (net 91) didn’t have a good day either, but his opponent was really off and Larry won 13 up! Valley moved out of the basement to 13th place.
Here are the current standings:
Next week Valley takes on 1st place Heritage Links and Golden plays 7th place Valleywood at Wirth.
