This crew, golfing at Dakota Ridge, failed to qualify for the Ryder Cup.
Thirty-three teams in Ladies' Golf
Invitational at Tyler Golf Club Tuesday
The weather was out-
standing as 33 two-person
teams teed it up in the an-
nual Ladies' Invitational
last Tuesday in Tyler. The
ladies would play a scram-
ble format for 18 holes of
play.
The top score for the day
was a 75. The twosome of
Sue Musch and Renatta
Johnson would fire that
score to win. Sharon Han-
son and Terry Borchert
nailed a 77 for second
place in the top flight.
Marci Dressen and Sonja
Lund took third place in
the flight with a 78. Lissa
Gravley and Kristy Thom-
sen also shot a 78 but fin-
ished fourth because of tie-
breakers. There were eight
teams in the first three
flights and nine squads in
the final flight.
Diane Buessing and
Dori Buessing combined
to win the second flight
with a score of 83. Rebecca
Johnson and Allysson Mid-
taune also shot an 83, but
finished in second place.
Bobbi Werkman and Susan
Norgaard used their tal-
ents to shoot an 84, which
was good enough for third
place.
Dawn Heidebrink and
Nancy Oye finished with a
90 to capture the top spot
in the third flight. Rochelle
Borresen and Alissa Chris-
tianson took second place
with a score of 90. Also
shooting a 90 and taking
third place were the two-
some of Robbyn Kerkaert
Kope's Short Shots
By Jim Kopel
and Amy Rubin.
The final and fourth
flight winners were the
twosome of Norma Giles
and Donnita Bennett.
They would fire a 95 for 18
holes. Kari Hansen and Te-
resa ]ohansen also found a
95 on their scorecard af-
ter 18 holes of play. They
would finish second while
another 95 shot by Andrea
Babcock and Hillary Bu-
chert took third place in
the flight.
The ladies were very im-
pressed by the condition
of the course. The club-
house help was outstand-
ing as usual. Another great
job was done by Lance and
his help on the outside and
Ruth and her help on the
inside.
The first night of youth
lessons was held on Mon-
day, the 20th of June.
There were almost 40
young kids who showed
up for the first night. The
ages ranged from 5 years
old to about 13 years old.
Yes, it is quite a challenge
to keep the young ones un-
der control when there are
13 or 14 kids trying to do
something they have prob-
ably not done much of to-
date. My group of kids did
NOT have anyone hitting
any other kid with a ball or
club. Of course, there are
more weeks to go for that
to happen.
The foursome of Kullen
and Kenton Stanek, Tom
Mundt and myself golfed
at the Casino golf Course
in Morton last Wednes-
day. We would shoot a re-
spectable 60 for 18 holes
in a scramble format. We
had a very good chance
to break 60 if we would
have eagled the final hole,
a par five. We were on the
green in two shots, about
15 feet from the hole. We
all missed our attempt at
eagle. We decided not to
leave the green until we
made the putt. About 15
minutes later and about
50 attempts, we finally
made the putt. Of course,
the putt did not count.
We have probably all
played in a scramble for-
mat in a golf tournament.
We used to play our own
ball then turned a score
in past tournaments.
That concept of golf has
changed over the years.
Another form of play is
the four-ball concept. This
form is a match in which
all four golfers each play
their own balls until they
have lost every one of
them, at which point play
shifts to a "no ball" format
and they head to the 19th
hole where the number of
shots doesn't matter. Until
next week, remember the
name of the game is to lim-
it your shots on the course
and the 19th hole.
The Buffalo Ridge Wild-
cats advance in the play-
offs, despite only having
15 players, with a 61-14
win over the Watertown
Rebels. Once again the
Wildcats defense played a
good game with one fum-
ble recovery, five intercep-
tions and three quarter-
back sacks, even though
five defensive starters
were missing.
Jon Gorter led the team
with nine tackles and one
interception. Austin Ap-
pel had eight tackles and
Enrique Gomez added six.
Travis King had six tackles
as well as a fumble recov-
ery, a batted pass and an in-
terception he returned for
a touchdown. ]] McGeath
had two interceptions and
one-and-a-half quarter-
back sacks. Jonah Walker
added two-and-a-half
sacks and Zach Schrank
had one interception.
Quarterback T] Oates
completed 11 of 25 passes
for 167 yards and three
touchdowns. David Oates
caught eight of those
passes for 135 yards and
two touchdowns and King
caught two passes for 22
yards and one touchdown.
The Wildcats leading
runner was TJ Oates who
ran the ball 11 times for
78 yards and three touch-
downs while McGeath ran
the ball seven times for 34
yards and one touchdown.
David Oates ran in a two-
point conversion.
Riley Hanson put points
on the scoreboard with a
nifty 42-yard punt return
for a touchdown and kick-
er David Oates made five
of eight extra point tries.
The Wildcats will play
the Midwest Rampage af-
ter they upset the third-
place 7-1 Med City Freeze.
This game will be at 6 p.m.,
Saturday, July 2 in Lake
Benton.
This year the SPFL is go-
ing to have the Stars vs.
Stripes all-star game at 1
p.m., followed by the the
SPFL Championship game
at 4 p.m. Both games will

Adolphus Football field in

ebration rock concert at

sen for the all-star teams.

ceiver, Matt Carmody, de-
fensive lineman and David
Oates, wide receiver/kick-
er, will play for the Stars

Stripes team.
