Wednesday men’s golf decided to report the results of their Larry Ball festivities. Larry ball is a game that Bill Darby introduced to the club. It’s origins are from a course that Mr. Darby has played at where a man named Larry Dean owns the course and thus sets the rules. When you play golf with Dean, you get a mulligan on every shot. First place was a tie between Roger Leach and Charlie Odenweller with a net score of 26. Second place was a tie with Joe Bruno and Avery Falkner with a net score of 27. Howard Morgan was “just out of the money” by half a stroke for a net of 27.5. For those not in the know, Larry Ball means on every shot, you get a mulligan. A mulligan means you get to take a shot over again. And now you’ve learned something new.

We would like to congratulate Tom and Marilyn Mehalic on the arrival of their grandson Mason Thomas! Congratulations and we can’t wait to have him join us at the Club!

We hosted a wonderful 50th anniversary party for Ken and Sally Gillett planned by their loving family. I had a request from grandkids Ned Gresham and Timmy Hermansen to see their name in print. They are two inquisitive young lads who like to come into the Country Club and brighten Karen and my day. They gave Karen a hard time until she got “pop-pop’s” name for his hole in one on the wall (Pop-pop is their grandfather, Ken.)
