       The following shareholders have just won a free round of golf:
  NP-114     NG-35    SG-36     NP-47     SL-23

The first scramble of the 2010 year came off without a hitch. The sunny day was sandwiched in between rainy ones but it didn’t hurt the golf. It even was semi warm about noon or so. Forty-four players showed up at 9:30 am ready to go.

First Place team "The Over the Hill Gang"   L to R Jimmy Lee, Phil Wright, Alvin McCarty and Dave Clark

The winning team was a familiar one. The “Over The Hill Gang” did themselves proud. Alvin McCarty, Dave Clark, Jimmy Lee, and Phil Wright came into the clubhouse with 11 under par to win first place, which netted them each $40.00 in prize money.

Second Place team L to R Joss Kelly, Jacob Winters, Matt Winters, and Clay Thomas

Second place team was the youngest team on the course. Jacob Winters, Matt Winters, Clay Thomas and Joss Kelly had a tie with the team of Shay Maloch, Shay Ray Malcoh, Kurt Rupp, and Johnny Jackson. Both teams finished with 10 under par but the winning team was decided by a scorecard tie breaker and the Winters brothers with Thomas and Kelly won out and received $30.00 per player in prize money.

The closest to the hole on the second round on hole #1 went to Mike Clark who received a mixed prize packet. Closest to the hole on #5 went to Shay Maloch who also won a mixed prize packet.

After the game the players enjoyed a pot luck lunch held in the clubhouse.
