The
"Feral" Camp Open
Thursday, 06/18/98, Parks Course.

It doesn't matter if the ball's not quite round!

Good weather, good friends, (some) good golf, and a fine time was had by all ... Here is the recap:

     Play  consisted of the regular Gruesome round, plus closest to the pins on the par threes with prizes.  There was also an 18-hole best ball competition for prizes with pairings of captains - fourth picks and first picks - third picks.

     The captains were Alex Lively, Nick Greenberg, Ed Ailor, Dick Jones, Fred Comings, Chuck Dixon, Scott Alder, and Chris Hill.  Also participating were:

Pat McCorkle
Ted Tlanda
Ish Falcon
JR Patterson
Ray Brunell
John McVey
Dave Ames
Ferrel Camp
Tom Busey
John Patterson
Ed Lundgren
Dean Wood
Dick Buczek
Chuck Madrid
Al Immel
Ed Patch
Bob Ladny
Andy Karkos
Ollie Leith
Ed Cline
Fred Munker
Bill White
Lew Hipp
Don Webler

The team of Dixon, Tlanda, Immel, and Ladny took the lion's share of winnings ($71) with 3 under on the front (tied with Jones, Ames, Webler, and Bowden), 51 points on the back (tied Alder, Brunell, Busey, and Patch), 4 under for the 18 (tied with Comings, Falcon, Lundgren, and White as well as Greenberg, McVey, Patterson SR, and Munker) and had two good birdies -- 2 and 9.

Greenberg & team collected $17 for with 52 points on the front (tied Jones & team), 2 under on the back (tied Alder & team and Comings & team), 4 under for the 18 (tied Dixon & team and Comings & team), and a good birdie at 11.

Alder & team collected $7 with 2 under on the back (tied Comings & team), 51 points on the back (tied Dixon & team), and a good birdie at 15.

Comings & team won $1 with 2 under on the back (tied Alder & team and Greenberg & team), 4 under for the 18 (tied Dixon & team and Greenberg & team), and a good birdie at 3.

Jones & team lost $4 with 3 under on the front (tied Dixon & team) and 52 points on the front (tied Greenberg & team).

Hill, McCorkle, Karkos, and Hipp lost $20 with a good birdie at 13.

Ailor, JR, Madrid, and Leith as well as Lively, Camp, Wood, and Cline lost the max -- $36.

There were good birdies at 2 (Dixon), 3 (Comings), 9 (Dixon), 11 (Greenberg), 13 (Hill), and 15 (Alder).

Closest to the pins on the par threes went to Dixon (#10), Falcon (#8), Patterson SR (#6), and Hipp (#17). Each pocketed $10.

Dixon and Ladny won the A+D best ball match with 2 under and McCorkle and Karkos won the B+C best ball with 1 under. Each is $15 richer.

Jones and Bowden were second in the A+D best ball at 1 under and McVey and Patterson were second in the B+C best ball at even. McVey and Patterson won over Falcon and Lundgren who were also even by virtue of a par at 18, the #1 handicap hole.

I don't know if you all are aware of it, but Camp let on that everyone who played in the "Feral" Open is forever guaranteed a place to stay at Myrtle Beach any time he visits as well as all the free gold he wants to play. What a deal, eh?
