Senior League, August 1 results — Low Gross was won by Jesse Wade with a score of 37. There was a three-way tie for Low Net with 31: Pat Bowen, Gary Brumley and John Davis. Fairways in Regulation was won by Pat Bowen. He hit seven fairways in regulation, followed by Gary Brumley with six and Keith Stuart with five. Closest to the Pin on hole No. 5 was won by John Davis with a shot of 34 feet, 5 inches. This was significant because there was a carry over from last week. There was only one skin out in this competition. The previous week there were no skins, so all carried over. Jim Holliman won the kin money for both weeks.
