La Junta Senior Golf League - Results for Aug 1, 2023

The La Junta Senior Golf League met on August 1, 2023 at the La Junta Golf Course for our weekly nine holes of golf.  There were 40 members present. 

Tara Castaneda from the Arkansas Valley Hospice presented information about the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament on September 15, 2023, at the La Junta Golf Course. There will be senior tee boxes for the senior golfers; information is in the starter’s shack at the golf course. 

Golfers are encouraged to attend the next city council meeting on Monday, August 7, 6:00 p.m., at the La Junta City Municipal Building. The city council is scheduled to discuss budget matters and, as users of the golf course, we can express our thoughts for adequate funding to keep the golf course in good condition for the coming year.

After the announcements we had eight teams of 5 golfers and played a scramble format. Each team had a chance of lowering the team score by having every team member attempt to make a birdie or eagle putt on the green when the opportunity presented itself.  Every one of these attempts that were made successfully lowered the team score by one stroke.  The Challenge Chip on hole #5 was in the sand; no one made the chip.  The Challenge Putt, on hole #8, was made by Matt Perea, Virgil Lindsay, Clark Claycomb, Mackie O’Neal, Mark Johnston, and Joy Grasmick.
