ALL IN A DAY'S FUN! The Over the Hill gang gathers at River's Bend each suitable summer Monday morning for a round with their friendly comrades in clubs. The players that toured the Bend this past Monday gathered for an informal team picture following another round of golfing fun.
RICK KENDALL crushes a tee shot on No. 5 during Over the Hill golfing league action at River's Bend Monday.
GOING DOWN - Over the Hill golfer Chuck Manry watches his putt go towards the hole and eventually down into it on No. 6 during league action at River's Bend Monday.
The weather was fine and the golfing conditions absolutely perfect for the Over the Hill gang at River's Bend Monday. Thirty-seven of Sanders County's finest took advantage of yet another golden opportunity to shoot for par.
Thoroughly enjoying that beautiful weather, which featured mixed sunshine with temperatures in the low to mid 60s and, most importantly, no fickle winds, Mike Gillmore bumped the Bend hard by carding a 40 for the men's low gross and Dennis Gripp used his handicap to arrive at the men's low net of 29.
Although the women's low gross went unreported, Lana Nolen shot down women's low net honors with a well-adjusted round of 35.
In other play of the day, Gary Thompson captured the flag on No. 1, ending up closest to the pin in 2, and rolled in the long putt on No. 8. Nolen earned long-putt honors on No. 2, John Beckman dumped in the long putt on No. 3 and John Torres put the long putt on No. 4 to bed. Dave Tallant was closest to the pin off the tee on No. 5, the legendary Jesse Mack whomped the long 70+ drive on No. 6 and dropped in the long putt on No. 7, Charlie Hooten knocked down the long putts on Nos. 6 and 9, Dave Petteys walloped the long men's drive on No. 9 and Liz Morkert blasted the women's long drive on No. 9.
Tallant (No. 4) and Dan Whittenburg (No. 9) made chip-in shots part of their rounds and Tallant, Ron Beaty and Mike Smith were all paid for making par on No. 2.
If the weather is good and those slightly used Over the Hill bodies are able, most of these River's Bend warriors will return to the scene of the crime for another round come next Monday morning.
