The May 15 Lincoln Senior Men’s Golf League’s Fun Day had all the potential to be rained out with ominous clouds and low temps, but the skies held, so the senior golfers were able to complete a great day at Woodland Hills golf course south of Eagle.
The Mixer and Shamble format used 100% of each golfer’s handicap, though normally only 75% will be used, and everyone played from the gold tees, which resulted in some low scores. After selecting the best drive from each foursome, each golfer played his own ball to completion of the hole with the two best net scores used on the par 4’s and 5’s, and one net score used on the par 3’s.
While there were a couple low scores, they were not as low as the previous year that had sunny, warm weather. The next Fun Day will take place Tuesday at Tara Hills, a favorite stop in Papillion.
