La Junta Senior Golf League Results: 50 Golfers Compete in June 9 Scramble and Chipping Contest


Description: Playing the special chip game on the practice green are Jim Thayer, Bruce Baca, Vince Tatus, and Shelley Grantham

The La Junta Senior Golf League hosted 50 players on June 9. Two new senior golfers were welcomed: Jane Jacquart and Bruce Baca. Participants broke up into ten teams of five golfers. Two games were played: a nine-hole scramble and a chipping contest on the practice green. Both games were very competitive with multiple ties. There were two challenge chips (hole #5 from the sand) and (hole #9 from long grass); no one was able to complete those challenges. A challenge putt on hole #3 was only made by Matt Perea.

Next week, June 16, we will start at 9:00 a.m. due to the summer heat. We will play the string game. Registration is from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Teams are picked at 8:45 a.m., so no players can be added after that time. If you anticipate being late but will be on time for play, call 719-469-0691 to be added onto the list.
