Golfing is hot at Beaver Creek course

The weather continues to make conditions tough at Beaver Creek Golf Course. And the ladies' league playoffs and men's league regular season have only added to the heat.

Last Tuesday night a trio of teams - Shanty Bar, Pizza Pro and the Hi-Way Bar - shared high team honors with 23 total points. The Shanty is composed of Craig Buettner, John Tibbetts, Murray Hurlburt and Ed Barsanti. Pizza Pro is made up of Lyle Miller, Jeff Jensen, Gary Stremcha and Russ Luke. Hi-Way Bar is composed of Craig Patrick, Barry Zanto, Dennis Kannberg and Byron Ophus.

Kevin Harada earned low-gross honors for the night after firing a 2-under- par 34, and Barry Zanto earned low-net score with a 30.

Wednesday night saw Tilleman Motors capture high team with 22 points. Tilleman is composed of Larry Tilleman, Dave Herman, Chuck Wimmer and Steve Strand. Brett Gilman grabbed low gross with a 1-under-par 35. The trio of Ryan Divish, Barry Zanto and Larry Tilleman shared low net with a score of 30.

The ladies' league playoffs are down to the final four and Thursday night will feature the semifinal round. Indepen-dence Bank will take on Making Waves in one match, and the Golf Course Restaurant will square off against Havre Heating and Air Conditioning in the other semifinal. The winners will then meet the following Thursday to determine the championship for 2003.

The Chinook Golf Club hosted its annual Pow Wow Golf Tournament on Aug. 3. Troy Azure captured the men's portion of the 18-hole stroke play event with an even-par round of 72. Kelly Mazurkiewicz of Havre earned the women's championship with a final round 96.

On Saturday BCGC will host the fourth annual Skylights Scramble. The 18-hole, four-person scramble will get under way with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The tournament will feature a pitch, putt and drive competition immediately following the round.
