MASON — Jack Maloney of Gallipolis, Ohio continues to maintain his lead in the Riverside Senior Golf League. Maloney, who has racked up a total of 83 points for the second half of the season, leads Bob Stewart of Cottageville by three points. In tie for third place are Mick Winebrenner (Racine) and Haskel Jones (Charleston) with 79 points each for Riverside’s second half of play.

Last week’s rain didn’t hold back the 79 players who came out to golf, forming 19 four-player teams and one team of three, allowing for 20 possible points for the winning squad.

The day’s low score was 57 (-13 under par), and was accomplished by the team of Steve Safford (Pt. Pleasant), Buford Brown (Athens, OH), Jim Mitchell (Gallipolis, OH), and Jones.

The second place score of 60 (-10 under par) was made by the teams of Howard Lee Miller (Pt. Pleasant), Phil Burton (Mason), and Ralph Sayre (New Haven).

Finishing third for the day with a score of 61 (-9 under par) was the team of Tom Dotson (Pt. Pleasant), Chet Thomas (Patriot, OH), Paul Somerville (Pt. Pleasant), and Stewart.

The closest to the pin winners were Paul Somerville on the fourteenth hole with the ninth hole being clinched by Carl Cline with a hole in one. It was the first hole in one of Cline’s career. Cline used a pitching wedge on the 114 yard shot and was witnessed by Rick Ash of Syracuse, Bob Hysell of Pomeroy, and Jack Maloney of Gallipolis.
