Congratulations to Jim Willard who scored a hole–in-one on the seventh hole on July 24. He hit a nine iron on the 115-yard hole.
The Carleton Project Charity Scramble was held on Saturday with the end of rain and the sun eventually coming out. Winners were as follows: First net went to the team of Tim Prescott, Jessica Walker, Ken and Janna Webb and coming in second net was Warren and Ben Walker, Joe McAuliffe and Adam Derosier, who also finished with the low gross score of 60.
The longest drive was made by David Dubois, Jr. Closest to the pin on No. 7 was Scot Walker with two feet; Tim Prescott with 11 feet, one inch on No. 11; and Adam Derosier on No. 16 with 14 feet, one inch. Thanks to all the sponsors and all who participated to make this a success.
Results of July 23 Twilight League are in. Tom Ryan and Pete Lawlor beat Joe McAuliffe and Stephen Walker; Warren Walker and Ken Webb (subbing for Bill Dwyer) bested Steve and Parker Walker; Tim Thoreson and Ola Tucker won a close one over Ben Walker and Tim Prescott (subbing for Brian McAuliffe); and Stu Kelly and Jon Smallwood had a bye. There are still several make-up matches to be played.
Sunday afternoon couples had 25 golfers this week with Ralph and Val Powers taking first place. This is the third week in a row win for Val. Second place went to Bev Osborn and Greg Gayne and Peter and Carol Blood and coming in third was Stu and Becky Kelley and Kerry and Karen McNally and Lloyd Fredericks. The format this week was an alternate shot and partner swap every other hole. The couples get very creative to make each week interesting and fun for all.
Don’t forget about the County Open coming up this weekend with a kickoff 18-hole scramble at VaJoWa on Friday, Aug. 2 with a 12 p.m. registration and a 1 p.m. shotgun start.
The County Open championship will be played on Saturday and Sunday with 18 holes at VaJoWa Saturday and 18 holes at Houlton Community Golf Club on Sunday. Proceeds from this tournament are to benefit the Houlton Regional Health Services Foundation. Let’s hope the suns shines on this great event for a good cause.
