| Lake Valley (Camdenton, MO) Fall Couples Scramble (Oct 13-15) |
2nd | Another very fun weekend for us. We played reasonably well, although our pitch shots and putting were very spotty. We managed 3 birdies against 2 bogies on Saturday for a 71, which tied us for second behind a 70 after 18 holes. On Sunday, we played a little better (despite getting rained on for several holes and enduring a 1+ hour delay between holes 8 & 9), but still couldn't make many putts and shot 70 (4 birdies and 2 bogies), which was good enough for second behind a 71-68 and ahead of a 142 and a 144. We played with very nice people all weekend and had a great time.. |

| Fort Dodge (Lakeside) Kate Nelson mixed best shot (August 13) |
1st | It started sprinkling on #16, and was raining steadily by the time we finished. Some teams were not able to finish, but our 68 was the lowest score posted so we're counting this as a successful defense of the title we first won last year (hey, it's not our fault they aren't mudders). Our 4 birdies and 14 pars (i.e., no bogies!) was very different than last year, when we only had 7 pars (3 bogies, 7 birdies and an eagle). Matt and Jerry played in the men's division and we had a really fun day! |

| Ida Grove 2-ball (August 12) |
1st | You gotta love a golf course with a medieval theme ... not to mention a fun layout and friendly people. We played well but we could only muster one birdie to go with 3 bogies and a double. Still, our 74 was 5 better than the second place team and 7 better than third. We played with two very nice couples from Sioux City and had a great time. |

| Newell 2-ball (July 23) |
1st | We continued our good play from yesterday, and were pleased to get the same result. Only 3 birdies on the good side, but only 2 bogies and a double on the bad side for a 37 + 36 = 73. Second place was 75, shot by a father-daughter team that has been beating us pretty regularly at Newell the past few years, and that made the victory even sweeter! |

| Spring Lake 2-ball (July 22) |
1st | We played *much* better than we did the last time we played here two years ago, and we were rewarded accordingly. We made 7 birdies, which almost countered our 3 doubles and 2 bogies, for a 36 + 37 = 73. Second place was 81. We also won our respective long drive awards, which may have been the first time in our history that we both hit long tee shots in the fairway on the same hole! |

| West Bend 2-ball (July 9) |
3rd | This was Greg's first time at West Bend. Interesting course with a decent amount of variety. The fairways were very hard which really shortened up the course, and we played a little better than the previous day and shot 36+35=71 (2 bogies & 3 birdies). 70 was second, and somebody actually shot 63 (!?!) to win the tournament ... they should be ashamed of themselves. |

| Lake City 2-ball (July 8) |
1st | Four bogies and two birdies (36+36=72) was the best we could muster (two strokes worse than last year), but it was good enough for the victory (and 10 yummy ribeyes!). Lake City's green's are very small, and we missed a lot of them, but our chipping and putting was decent and we finished the day with only 24 putts. Second place was 76. |

| Columbia (MO) Country Club His & Hers Scramble (June 23-25) |
10th | We didn't play too badly, but just couldn't get the ball close enough to make many birdies, and we only made a couple putts >10'. Beautiful weather, an interesting course, and nice people to play with. We had 3 birdies and a bogie (3-putter, ugh) on Saturday for a 69, which just barely qualified us for Championship Flight. On Sunday, Championship Flight had to move back one set of tees, but we played about the same, getting to -3 at one point before limping in with a 70 (4 birdies and 3 bogies, including another 3-putter ... argh!). The winners shot 124 (!?!) and second was 126. |

| Lake Valley (Camdenton, MO) His & Hers Scramble (June 9-11) |
Buried | We struggled quite a bit on Saturday, and only slightly less on Sunday ... our problem on Saturday was ball striking, while on Sunday our biggest problem was making putts. Our opening 73 (3 bogies and 2 birdies) put us in the bottom of "A" Flight (it took 70 to make Championship Flight), and our 70 on Sunday (3 birdies and 1 bogie) put us tied for 5th in A Flight. |

Fort Dodge American Legion 2-couple Best Shot (June 4) |
2nd | This was essentially a mixed 4-person best shot. The American Legion course is an interesting par 37 layout with three par 5's back-to-back-to-back in the middle of the nine. Debbie and I were joined by Janelle and Matt and we had a good time. We managed 4 birdies on each nine for a 66, but the winners shot 65. |

| Newell 2-ball (June 3) |
T-2nd | As with last year, this was essentially a "true 2-ball", with the ladies hitting the tee shots on the odd holes and the men hitting them on the even holes. We struggled a bit on the first nine, and we never really putted well, but we played better on the second nine and shot 40-36. First place was 71. |
