Storms didn't Dampen Golf Scramble Success

High winds, heavy rain, lightning and hail halted the tenth annual LTS Golf Scramble, but did not curb the spirit of the golfers. “I hated we didn't get to finish,” said Dave Ginter of Winchester, KY, “but we had a great time as usual and stayed for the homemade ice cream.”

The Friday, June 13, fund raiser was halted after most foursomes had played 13-15 holes, forcing Scramble organizers to score the teams from a common nine holes.

Until the storm arrived, the approximately 120 golfers enjoyed a delicious lunch, bright sunshine, and excellent golfing conditions with many teams carding sub-par rounds.

After the storm passed, first, second, and third place team prizes were presented and nearly 60 door prizes donated by friends of the Seminary were distributed. Each player also was given a bag of gifts and a golf shirt embroidered with the Scramble's logo.

The winning foursome consisted of Kline Shipp, Marshall Hutchison, Darl Shipp, and Scott Shipp. The runner-up team, sponsored by Countryside Landscaping, was comprised of Jim and Jason Burkley, Phillip McClain, and Dax Lane. The third place team, sponsored by Rees Printing, contained David Ginter, Porter Roberts, Tony Gillespie, and Ronnie Snowden.

Following the presentation of the prizes, many golfers stayed to enjoy eight freezers of various flavors of homemade ice cream churned by Scramble Director Sonny Wray. The ice cream is an annual favorite of the participants.

The Seminary wishes to thank Bluegrass Family Health for being the Scramble Sponsor, National City Bank for being a special Scramble Supporter, Congleton-Hacker Construction for being a Hole Sponsor and for sponsoring the luncheon, Brett Construction Company for being a Hole Sponsor and for sponsoring the golf shirts given to all the golfers.
