On a day near perfect for golf, the team of Tom Maupin, Al Miller, Jeff Davis and Jerry Burrell combined to fire an 18-under par 54, and then claimed a scorecard playoff from Greg Rush, Cy Harris, Ron Wilson and Vince Stone, who also cam in with a 54.

The annual Stanley Butler Shootout was staged at the Chatata Valley Golf Course and another strong team compiled of Gene Rice, Bob Rice, Jerry Rice and Craig Lee came in third with a 58.

In the first flight, Richard Cribbs, Thomas Brown, Phillips Caines and Mason Brown took first place with a 61. Second place honors went to Tarry Walker, Gary Rominger, Harry Ledford and Tim Wattenbarger (63), while Jerry Puckett, Tipp Bettis, Ty Parker and Larry Moore were third (64).

Rob Howell won the closest to the pin at No. 2. Jerry Burrell earned the same honor at No. 14, while Kay McDaniel produced the longest drive at No. 6.

"I was really pleased with the turnout," said John Maupin, who served as tourney director for the Lee Athletic Department. "I thought we had a very enjoyable day. Joe Starr and his Chatata Valley staff did a fantastic job of running the tournament. I'm already looking forward to next year."
