The women took the week off, leaving the June 30 scramble as the final golf outing for the week. The team of Fred Miller, Tom Nelson, Kurt Snouffer and Quentin Talbert matched the 3-under-par 29 carded by Mike Gillie, Art McMillan, Gary Razze and Mike Riddick, forcing a “putt off” to determine a winner. Talbert calmly stepped up and drained a 20-foot putt to give his team the victory.
