Brenner Johnson and Cody Sievert hold their Grungy Golf Ball Awards for play during the 2-Man Scramble event held at Willow Creek hosted by Walkerville.  Brenner and Cody shot a score of 47 in the competition.  The two would have wanted to be a little closer to par of 36, but, this goes to show that even good golfers can shoot poorly on a given day. They asked for and received a special memory of the event when they took home grungy golf balls wrapped in a BandAid mounted on a base with the days competition noted. Drew Griswold and Jake Matthews tied for Flight A honors shooting even par, while Skyler Kimpel and Alex Welch took the Flight C honors with a score of 42. 

Levi Capper holds his team medalist award.  This award goes to the golfer who establishes the lowest shooting average for the entire season of play.  Levi won this award in 3 of his 4 years of high school golf team competition.  Congratulations, Levi.
