DICE SCRAMBLE RESULTS - JULY 21

 BIRCHBANK RETIREES DICE SCRAMBLE

Winning Team: PASQUALI, DEWITT, LAROCQUE, WRAY

Forty Retirees Club golfers teed it up July 21 for the annual Dice Scramble. In this game, the team's choice of drive on each hole is determined by the roll of the custom made dice. Many a great tee shot was wasted by an unlucky roll forcing the team to take the shortest drive.

Thanks go out to Kelly and the Bistro staff for a great buffet meal and to Blair and the Proshop staff for their help.

Results:

1st: Serge Pasquali, Al Larocque, Dave Wray, Wayne DeWitt (67) by tie break

2nd: John Newton, Doug Jones, Al Doherty, Norm Moll (67)

3rd: Paul Troseth, Jim Mohs, Al Pasin, Phil Molloy (69) by tie break
