It was a hot evening but that didn’t keep these die-hard golfers away.  Friday evening the Elk Creek Country Club couples’ summer golf league met in Nelson for their seventh week of competition. This week the men teed off the even holes and the women on the odd holes.

Coke and Cindy Troudt and Richard P.  and Heather Watson came in with a low net score of 33. Jim and Mary Farmer had a high gross score of 52.  Cody and Crystal Wyatt took a 9 on the par 4 No.7 and Donnie and Peggy Cassell took a 9 on the par 4 No. 8 for the most over. 

Cindy Trout’s second shot on No. 1 was the closest to the green and not on.  Jerry Bargen had the longest putt on No. 3 at 18’ 2” and Peggy C’s drive on No. 5 was the closest to the weather vane. 

Thus after seven weeks of competition Richard and Verlene Watson moved up to first place with their two additional points tying them with Cody and Crystal Wyatt with 10 points each.

Craig German and Cindy Hewitt are now in third place with their nine points followed by Joe Harwell and Jenny Simmons with eight after each team earning their two points this week.

Ken and Jan Rempe moved up to fifth place with their two additional points tying with Jim and Mary Farmer with 7 1/2 points.

Tied for seventh place with 6 1/2 points are Jerry Bargen and Sally Uhrmacher and  Hunter Holland and Emily Wulf.

There is now a three-way tie for ninth place with six points. Rod and Sue Burge, Richard P.  and Heather Watson and Coke and Cindy Troudt. Followed by Chuck and DeAnna Tuttle with 4 1/2 points in 12th place.

Dorrel Lipker and Carla Jeardoe 13th place with 3 1/2 points and Royce and Brenda Schott with three points.

Later the group gathered at the club house to try and cool down while enjoying grilled burgers and the extra sides.

This week the women will be teeing off on the even holes and the men on the odd holes.
