The par fives and par threes at River’s Bend Golf Course made unlikely pairs just like the quirky comic characters as the Over The Hill Gang played a round of Mutt and Jeff on Monday. The players totaled their scores from holes 11, 12, 14 and 17 for the fun. Gary Thompson won the title of Mutt with the low gross of 18 on the four holes, and Dennis Gripp was dubbed Jeff with a low net of 12.

Thompson also had the low gross round for all nine holes with a 41, while Doug Deck shot the low net for the men with a 32. Lana Nolen and Jan Thompson carded the respective low gross and net for the women with a 47 and 37. Thompson also had the women’s long drive on No. 18.
