Over the Hill players like to think stroke play produces strokes of genius from its very smart – okay at least very wise – players.

Undeniably the most seasoned group of golfers going right now in this area, the Over the Hill gang took over River’s Bend for another friendly round Monday morning and a good time was had once again by all the Over the Hillers.

Dave Garr tamed the Bend with the best low gross round of 39, and Mike Smith (31) and Barb Wooden (33) did the best with their handicaps figured in to shoot the low men’s and women’s net scores.

In other play of the day, Rick Kendall was closest to the pin in 2 on No. 1, John Pritzkau gunned down the long putts on Nos. 2 and 7, Chuck Manry drove the long putt home on No. 3, Darrel “Torgy” Torgrimson put the long putt down on No. 4, Mike Normandin was closest to the pin off the tee on No. 5 and sent the long putt down on No. 8, Jesse Mack smacked the long 70+ drive on No. 6, Mike Gilmore scored long putt honors on No. 6, Steve Wolf made the day’s longest putt on No. 9, Dave Tallant hit the long men’s drive on No. 9, and Wooden whacked the long women’s drive on No. 9.

Daves made their names known better in Over the Hill circles Monday – Dave Tallant (No. 3) and Dave Garr (No. 5) both made chip-in shots part of their rounds, and Dave Petteys had to pay for his par on No. 4.

Hoping to continue using their strokes of genius, Hill players and their fans will return to River’s Bend next Monday morning for another friendly round.
