Audubon Coach Gary Keller’s comments: Players teed off into heavy fog about 8:30 a.m. and putted on dewy greens, but there was very little wind and temps were pleasant.  The tournament ended at 2:00 p.m. just ahead of the thunderstorms.  Audubon’s guys played very steady, consistent golf, with only 2 individual hole scores (out of 108) higher than a 6.      The 4-man total of the 2nd 9 was our lowest of the year:  155.     Michael (41-39), Andrew (38-40), and Nick (41-41) played the front and back nines pretty evenly, while Drew (44-39) and Andy (46-37) made big comebacks.  Andrew had an eagle on #5, the long par-5 hole than runs along the edge of the State Park.  Panorama had never lost in all the years that tournament has been held.   Mostly the same Audubon players placed 2nd at this tournament two years ago.
