Boone (IA)

2 person scramble

There were only about 3 or 4 teams with women on them, so we were pleased to tie for 3rd.  We had 5 birdies and a bogie on the front, but then struggled in the wind on the back (very few trees to block the wind on the back) and could only manage two birdies.  A couple of young guys shot 62, and second was 65.

Couples 2-ball

On our first nine, we were even after 7, but then went bogie-double to shoot 38 ... similarly, on our second nine we were -2 after six and then bogied the last three for a 36.  The winners shot 70.  (One interesting fact: our eclectic score was 33 (-2), even with bogies on the last two holes!)

(August 28-29)

Mixed Scramble

On Saturday we started on #5 (a par 5) and Debbie hit Driver + 3 Wood to the back edge of the green for an easy birdie ... and we were -3 after 8 holes, but could only play the last 11 at even par.  We hit only 3 of 12 fairways for the day, so 67 wasn't really a bad score ... and fortunately 66 was the high score in Championship Flight.  Sunday was the opposite ... we started on #7 and were only -1 through 11 holes, but then finished with 4 birdies in the last 7 holes for a 65, which ended up being good enough to tie for first in the 1st Flight.  121 won the tournament.

2-ball

(July 11)

Like the previous day, we struggled early, with two bogies and a double in our first four holes ... we birdied #5 before running off 5 pars, followed by two more birdies, and we thought we were on our way ... but then we bogied three of the last six holes (against only one birdie) for another 75 (39 - 36), which was again one stroke too many.

2-ball

(July 10)

We struggled a bit for most of the day, leaking oil to +6 after 15 holes (no birdies).  Then Greg hit a big tee-shot on the par 5, and Deb hit a 4-iron to about 6 feet for an eagle, and we birdied the 17th, and Deb made great putts on 16 and 18 for a 75 (39 - 36), which was only one stroke back.  (Back story:  on the way to the tournament, we ran out of gas about a mile north of town, and had to pull into a farm driveway, unload the cart, and drive it into town, arriving at the course just a few minutes before our tee time!  So we're blaming that for our bad start ...)

His & Hers Scramble

(June 26-27)

We could only manage a 70 on Saturday (3 birdies and 2 bogies), which was unfortunately good enough to just sneak into the Championship flight with 17 other teams (including a 63).  Sunday was even tougher, and we found ourselves +3 (w/ no birdies!) through 16 holes when a rather nasty storm rolled through and wiped out the rest of the round, which they backed off to a 27 hole event.  We don't know exactly how we finished, but we're pretty sure we didn't win anything!

Camdenton, MO

His & Hers Scramble

A 73 (including three 3-putts!) on Saturday put us into B flight, and a 37 on the front nine on Sunday made it look like a repeat round ... but we finished strong with 5 birdies on the back nine (including the last three holes) for a 68 that put us T-2 in B flight.
