We had a hot sticky day, with hurricane like winds, that made for a great day of competition!
After a reshuffling of the teams due to some last minute withdraws….gout, 2nd degree burns, lost cancellations….we found replacements and filled 36 members on 9 teams for the day’s event!
The day started off windy and only got more intense as the morning went on. The teams went off at 6:30 and by the last grouping of 7:42, the stiff wind had reached 20mph with stronger gusts!
Needless to say, 7, 8, 16, 17, & 18 were dead into the wind and made for interesting finishes, which determined the tournament standings. Holes 4 & 12 were dead crosswinds with only 2 balls hitting the 4th green all day!
As the scorecards started rolling in and scores began posting, it was a tightly packed event with 0-2 strokes separating the first six teams in the clubhouse, posting +6 – +8 in the brutal conditions….that is until the team of Wethington, Wolosyn, Martin & Maday finished their round. As their score began posting it became apparent that they had conquered not only the conditions, but also dominated the field and posted 141, -3 to become the eventual tournament winners with a runaway victory of 9 strokes. At the end of the day, the final team posted 150 to create a 3-way tie for 2nd.
Here are the final tournament results:
1ST PLACE – Team 6 (141, -3) – Wethington, Wolosyn, Martin, Maday ($38 each, 100 cup points each)
Tie 2nd PLACE – Team 1 (150, +6) Susich, Penk, Gaasedelen, Wagner ($18.60 each, 45 cup points each)
