RICHMOND — Last Saturday, 16 four-person teams teed it up at Arlington in the fourth-annual Joseph Stephens Golf Shamble.

The format for a shamble is all four players hit their drive and the best drive is selected. All the players play their own ball from that point and the two low scores are recorded for the hole.

At the end of a beautiful day on the links the team emerging victorious was the UPS team of Hameed Koury, Dave Vicini, Dave Gunther and Dirk Goodwin with a score of 107. Second place went to the Anesthesia Services team of Matt Moren, Jim Holt, Jim Cromer and Paul Esker with 108. The Stephens Oil Company team of Nick Stephens, Nathan Wells, Josh Crutcher and David Abner also had a score of 108, but lost on a scorecard match. Ouch!

After play the players assembled at the Mule Barn for lunch and refreshments, the presentation of awards and lots of door prizes. It was a great day of fun on the links and for a very worthwhile cause.

This brainchild of Dr. Hameed Koury has raised over $71,000 in the past five years. A total of $36,500 has been raised by the golf tournament and the state of Kentucky has matched that total.

Wow!

It is a great tribute to a remarkable young man and his parents, Pat and Joni Stephens. Hats off to Dr. Koury for initiating such a worthwhile golf tournament and for working hard to see it succeed.

Manhattan Club Scramble at MCC

Last Saturday at the Madison Country Club, 14 four-man teams took to the links in quest of birdies and eagles in the annual Manhattan Club Golf Scramble.

The most accurate sharpshooters of the day were the team of Randy Jewell, Harold Wallace, Tyson Phillips and Tim Els with a 23-under par 49.

Wow! That’s a lot of eagles and birdies.

Second place went to Luke Wright, Tommy Pendergrass, Rusty Williams and Charley Royalty with a 55. Third went to Jason, Ed and Chase Freeman and Anthony Parks with a 58.

It was an exciting day with pretty young ladies tending the flagsticks and passing out refreshments. Everyone received a free golf shirt and there were hamburgers and hot dogs for the hungry golfers all day long.

A great time was had by all the golfers and a nice piece of change was picked up by the winners. Manhattan Club owners J. D. Bowlin, Art Freitas and James Mills co-chaired the event and knocked themselves out to see that everyone enjoyed the day.

Salute.

On a sad note

On Friday, Carolyn’s uncle Jennings (Jiggs) Allen left this old world for that great farm in the sky. Jiggs was a wonderful man who loved his family, church and country.

He was a typical member of the Greatest Generation, having survived the Great Depression and served four years in the Army in World War II taking the South Pacific Islands of New Guinea, Leyte and Luzon back from the Japanese. He also survived a battle with malaria in the Pacific Theater.

He certainly did his best to make this world a better place to live in.

He will be sorely missed by his family and all of his friends.

Aloha to a nice man!

Upcoming events

June 24, 25 and 26 at Gibson Bay — Junior Clinic. The clinic will teach every participant the fundamentals of the golf swing, chipping, putting, golf etiquette and rules. The cost is $30 per child. Pick up applications at Gibson Bay.

Until next time … live, love, laugh and learn, Glenmore.
