Summer — and the sports we follow on AMI — are getting a slow start.
But there was another busy week of golf at the Key Royale Club in Holmes Beach that got started June 6 with the men playing their weekly modified-Stableford system match.
Tom Solosky earned clubhouse bragging rights after carding a plus-3 — three points above his average points per round. The trio of John Kolojeski, Tom Nelson and Terry Schaefer finished in a tie for second place at plus-2.
The women were on the course June 7 for their weekly nine-hole individual-low-net match in two flights.
Flight A saw Margrit Layh and Roxanne Koche tie for first place at even-par 32. Jenny Huibers was alone in second place at 3-over-par 35.
Terry Westby captured Flight B with a 2-over-par 34, two strokes ahead of Marilyn Niewijk.
The KRC action for the week ended with a June 9 scramble where each player had to use the same club they teed off with until their ball was on the green.
The team of Mike Gillie, Jenny Huibers and Kurt Snouffer matched the score of Mike Cusato, Ken Nagengast and Tom Solosky, who matched the 1-under-par 31 of Ron Huibers, John Kolojeski and Blake Ress for a three-way tie for first place.
Moving over to the horseshoe action June 8 at the Anna Maria City Hall pits, two teams forged 3-0 records during pool play and met in the finals, where Bob Baker and Gary Howcroft outlasted Jerry Disbrow and Steve Doyle, winning by a 21-17 score and earning the day’s bragging rights.
The June 11 games saw Tim Sofran rally for a 21-19 victory in his final pool-play match to finish alone 3-0 pool-play record and the day’s championship.
Play gets underway at 9 a.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Anna Maria pits. Warm ups begin at 8:45 a.m. followed by random team selection.
There is no charge to play and everyone is welcome.
Action in the gym gets started this week for kids ages 4-13 in the youth soccer league at the Center of Anna Maria Island. Matches are played Tuesday evenings. Later this month, adult players will compete outdoors in the summer flag football league, with the registration deadline June 15 for weekly games on Thursday evenings at the center, 407 Magnolia Ave., Anna Maria.
