May 19: Cha-Cha-Cha
On Sunday, May 19, the Graeagle Men’s Golf Association sponsored the couple’s tournament known as the Cha-Cha-Cha. Under this four-person format, the best net score on the first hole counts toward the team score, on the second hole the two best net scores count toward the team score, and on the third hole the three best net scores count. On the fourth hole the process repeats itself through the game. Thus the name Cha-Cha-Cha.
First place was won by the team of Jim Reynolds, Dee Walker, Ron Eaton and Mikie Burdick with a net score of 133. Second place was won by the team of Mark Yuill, Beth Yuill, Nate Coats and Laurie Humphries with a net score of 135. Third place was won by the team of Ken Hattich, Dottie Hattich, Jeff Monaghan and Patty Monaghan with a net score of 136.
