Tally Whackers : POLKA DOTS AND STRIPES
Tally Whacker 2014
Sunland Golf & Country Club - August 2 & 3
Won by Art Tay
24 players
Burt's Blogger Whacker...
Tremendous weather and an immaculate golf course made this year's Tournament just awesome!
Polka dots and stripes blurred our vision on the green Saturday morning. When all was done on
Sunday afternoon, Art Tay (a past Grand Tallywhacker) was crowned 2014's Grand Tallywhacker
with 14 pts. in a close competition. Roger Francis (our founding father) and Bruce Johnson tied for
second with 13 pts. The Grand Putter Whacker went to a rookie, Jim Mead, with 13 putts. Second
place went to Art Tay in a hole elimination with his brother James Tay, with 14 putts. Obviously the
Tays have something figured out as both are past Grand Tallywhackers. Least Putter Whacker, a dubious achievement indeed, went to Shawn Wells.
The Saturday Scramble, with a score of 64, was won by the team of James Tay, Roger Francis, Gary
Alexander and rookie Dave Bonnono. Second went to John Lindseth, Mac McKern, Mike Pitcher and
Hal Cline at 66. Third place finishers were the threesome of Burt Straight, Mike Pinch and Art Tay at
68.
The Horse Race, always hotly contested, was won by Mike Pitcher and Bruce Johnson, with Hal
Cline and Bruce Colwell second, and Mike Pinch and Mac McKern coming in third. It has to be noted
the first 12 players out took a combined 51 strokes on the twelfth hole alone. Obviously, not many of
those players moved on after the 15th hole. Speaking of the par 3 fifteenth hole, Tom Robinson
dropped a beauty in close for the K.P. and the ceremonial sword.
On a beautiful, sunny Sunday, the Scramble was won by John Lindseth, Roger
Francis, Art Tay (*), and Shawn Wells at 66. Second was Tom Robinson, Mac McKern, Gary
Alexander, and Jamie Straight with a 70. Third, by hole elimination, with a 70 also was Burt Straight,
Terry Campbell, Jacob Evert, and Hal Cline.

it is a memorable year, is FORMAL ATTIRE. By that, it means coat and tie on
the green Saturday morning, coat and tie for Saturday
