The Walton Brewers had a couple
of games and recorded a couple of
wins.
Walton defeated Exeter in the first
game July 28. The team kicked off
Aug. 4 with a win over Belmore.
Belmore was the first to put runs on
the board scoring 2 in the first inning
then added another in the third.
Walton retaliated with two runs in
the bottom when Steve Hopf hit a
solid triple to score Darryl Houston
and Scott McDonald. The Brewers
tied the game at three apiece in the
fourth. Justin Pipe got on with a
single and scored home on a triple
by Houston.
Pitching for Walton was Scott Cox
who gave up a homerun to
Belmore’s Ben Shaus to open the
fifth inning. Two more Belmore runs
scored and Scott Leonhardt came in
to pitch and shut down the Belmore
attack.
Walton down by three in their half
of the fifth, earned two runs back on
a double by Adam Verkley who
scored home on the homerun by
McDonald.
Down by one in the sixth, Ron
Stevenson earned first with a single,
then stole second to put the tying run
in scoring position. A single by
Houston moved him to third, then
Leonhardt hit a double to score both
runs. Verkley hit a single to score
Leonhardt for Walton’s final run for
a total of eight.
Leonhardt struck out eight batters
in the 2 1/2 innings he pitched.
The final score was 8-6 for Walton
Brewers.
The Brewers final three games of
the year will be played in the next
six days before the year-end
tournament to be played in Blyth on
the weekend starting Aug. 28.

Friday night the club held its first
golf and wing night with 40-50

wings.
Saturday a ball team from
Lucknow joined us at a club for a
nine-hole scramble. The guys and
gals enjoyed some lunch and
refreshments and even though they
played their last couple holes in a
steady rain, said they had a great
time.
The sign-up sheet for the John
Malick memorial tournament Sept.
9 is at the pro shop.
The members sure knew how to
get the manager in a good mood to
finish last month at the club.
Volunteers were out and working
July 27. Don Rae replaced a much-
needed broken board on the patio.
Linda Walker not only weeded
around the tee blocks but brought
new flowers to replace the damaged
ones.
Doug Barfoot helped weed the
flowerbeds and Bill Johnston
organized an interclub seniors’ day
with Somerhill. Thanks.
The Tuesday night ladies held the
McKinney trophy tourney. Luanne
Kerr came out the winner with a net
score of 69. Sylvia Pewtress and
Carol Oriold tied for second with
71.
Wednesday, senior men hosted a
group from Somerhill. They played
a fun scramble called Happy Face.
Each team member is given a
number. After they shoot they roll
the dice and they use the ball of the
person with that number. If they
roll a happy face they pick what
shot is best.
Winners were Jamie Sanderson,
Bill Brown, Lloyd Lamont and Don
Rae, who also won closest to the
pin. Gerry Edwards was longest
putt winner.
Everyone enjoyed the fun day of
golf and a soup and a sandwich
afterwards in the clubhouse.
Thanks to the Somerhill boys for
joining us.
