63 for 18-HOIe
Record at Course

Ken Mast overcame the handi-
cap of three penalty strokes to
push the record at the Bluffton
golf course down to an almost
unreachable 63 Saturday after
noon.
He was nine under par after
the first IL holes and managed
to stay even with par for the
last seven. Mast lost two strokes
when his shot strayed out of
bounds on the 18th, then added
another penalty stroke when he
found the creek on the 18th.
He fired eight brides and two
eagles in piling up his record
breaking score. Mast's only bog
les came on the 18th and 18th,
when he had to take the penalty
strokes.
Best previous round turned in
on the local course was a 68.
