Shanks a Lot takes over first place

Shanks a Lot golfers don’t always shank a lot of their shots. Sometimes they send their golf balls straight and true down the fairways, and roll them right into the cup when they reach the greens.

Playing golf belying their self-deprecating team name, Jenz Jentzen, Dave Garr, Charles Hooten and Rusty Haggard joined forces to shoot a mighty fine 169 last week for the Shanks a Lot team as they built a small lead in the second half of Tuesday Night Men’s League play at River’s Bend last week.

Bear Muscle Fitness golfers John Mosher, Cody Mosher, Steve Anderson and Steve Fairbank factored in their handicaps to arrive at the low team net of 139.

John Buckingham shot the best round for the week, with the low individual gross of 38, and Ron Belger posted the low net of 31.

In other Tuesday action, Mike Gilmore was closest to the pin in 3 on No. 2 and ripped the long 55+ drive on No. 9, Doug Gunderson rolled in the long putt on No. 3, Belger was good for the long putt on No. 5, Russ Yeager knocked down the long putt on No. 6, and Mike Thilmony was money on No. 8, with his shot being closest to the pin on that hole.
