Pink Ball Contest at Green Spring

 Green Spring Holes #5 and #11 claim the Pink Ball

There were no teams that returned the Pink Ball.  Of the score cards returned, the Pink Ball was lost on

Hole #5 - The very short Par 3 that is across "G's Ravine".

Hole #11 - The short Par 4 that requires navigation of  "Lee's Lake".

Here are the results:

 Cliff Long, Bruce Bundy, Steve McCoy, Mike McCoy

Their Pink Ball canyon jumped, without a parachute, into the ravine fronting hole #5

Gary LeClaire, G Pare, Rick Opheikens, Dave Lee

Their Pink Ball made the heroic plunge into "G's Ravine" before reaching the par 3, hole #5.

Jim Woodard, Jeff Zornow, Tom Graves, Mike Kelly

Not sure where their Pink Ball went?  No score card turned in, but they sure had a good time.

 


Gary Thornton, Greg Fischer, Jim Thalman, Dave Waugh

Their Pink Ball took a swim into "Lee's Lake" never arriving safely on green #11.

Score after 10 holes was 50.


Nolan Ackroyd, Jerry Bowman, Randy Kasik, Stan Dobretz

No scorecard, no Pink Ball returned.  Jerry kept it in his pocket as a souvenir.


Jimmy Reese, Larry Cordner, Tom Shaw, Steve Jensen

Their Pink Ball made it to the 11th hole where it disappeared into a watery grave.

Score after 10 holes was 57.


Mike Nakata, Art Tice, Richard Wolfley, Steve Parker

Offering a toast to Barb and Steve Parker for their Bloody Mary Hospitality Bar.

Their Pink Ball skimmed along the water fronting hole #11, never to be found.

Score after 10 holes was 48.

Cheers to all the brave NSGers in their heroic effort to save the Pink Ball!
