The field was small in The County Open, but the annual fund-raiser for the Health Services Foundation was a success due to the generosity of area sponsors.
Both VaJoWa and Houlton golf courses were and are in great shape although the trees and bunkers attracted many golf balls. (I can still hear Dan Tracy whacking the forest for an 11 at VaJoWa, but he played very well after that, and Tony Marino spent more time in the sand than Peter O’Toole in “Lawrence of Arabia.”)
Marty Bouchard, the fourth member of our foursome at VaJoWa, hit his usual big drives, but as Warner Von Braun, the developer of jet bombs for Germany in WWII answering his critics about jet bombing said, “We aim for the stars, but occasionally we hit London.” Marty occasionally hit the fairway.
Playing in Houlton, I enjoyed watching Sean Dolomont play extremely well. He will be a factor in his division in this week’s club championship, which will be played Saturday and Sunday. Jerry York will have his hands full defending his title, but I warn you Class A players, he is playing very well, as he won The County Open.
County Open results are as follows:
Men’s A: Gross, first, Jerry York; second, Scot Walker and third, Steve Merry. Net, first, Dave Dubois; second, Evan McCarthy and third, John Byron.
Men’s B: Gross, first, Jim Taylor; second, Nick Chase and third, Sean Dolomont. Net, first, Dave Edgar; second, anonymous and third, Bill Boulier.
Men’s C: Gross, first, Matt Carroll; second, Tom Moakler and third, Bob Anderson. Net, first, Ryan Dee; second, Tim Thompson and third, Ken Delano.
Ladies: Gross, first, Lou Ann Dwyer; second, Misty Marino and third, Nancy Thompson. Net, first, Bev Osborne; second, Lori Holmes and third, Sarah Howland.
The Twilight League regular play is drawing to a close. In Men’s play, Jerry Tweedie/Todd Willard lead the Mickelson Division; Chris Williams/Dan Williams the Furyk and Dave Edgar/Tom Moakler the Watson.
In the Ladies’ League, Legal Eagles with 59 points were tops last week. Marion Collins led with 23 points.
