#$?*!@$% wins Callender Cup
by Lenny Roberts

The 2002 Sundowners Golf League season ended last week with the Callender Cup playoff, which was won by #$?*!@$%.
Despite having only three of its five members present for the 18-hole round played Saturday morning, #$?*!@$%, a first-time winner in the 12-year-old Tuesday afternoon league, still managed to post a combined 107 points for the round, bringing their season total to 1,033, six better than Parker's Putters, which three-peated in the late 1990s.
With 115 points Saturday, Chief's "i.e." won the playoff round, but when combined with their 910 points for the regular season, fell eight points back for a third-place overall finish.
The Sambaggers, Above Par, Heater's Ropers, the Scramblers and Good, Pick It Up rounded out the eight playoff teams.
Doug Ragan, of the Sambaggers, shot the low playoff round with a 2-under-par 70. Others of note were Sam Williamson and Terry Gustafson, who each posted rounds of 73, and newcomer Barkley Martin, who finished with a 75. Ragan, Williamson, Gustafson and Martin all play for the Sambaggers.
On the strength of a playoff-round high 43 points from Ray Lara Good, Pick It Up, which finished in a first-place tie with Above Par at the end of eight weeks of play, had a miserable second half, but finished strong in the playoff round with 114 points, just one behind Chiefs "i.e."
League records either tied or set during the 2002 season are as follows:
#$?*!@$% - 473 points for the second half and 926 total season points; Steve Streich - 27 single-night points; Sam Williamson - nine-hole round of 30 strokes; Jacob Lusk - individual 309 season points, 34.50 average round strokes, and 19.31 average round points.
The 2002 season concludes Sunday morning at Soule Park with an 18-hole, 16-team Scramble.
