Congrats to everyone who won their opening rounds of match play. Please make sure to start working on scheduling your next match. You can find the full bracket here.
The highlights of the round included:
- Low Gross score went to Howard Hoffman shooting a solid 70.
- Most birdies went to Zach Kamerer with 5
- Only one eagle on the course, Carson Walker, with a 3 (net 1) on hole #3.
Our on-course prizes for the tournament included:
- Closest to Pin #1: Steve Couture
- Closest to Pin #4: Richard Courtney
- Closest to Pin #11: Brad Jordan
- Closest to Pin #12: Chris Gaspard
- Closest to Pin #17: Brad Jordan
- Long Putt: Matt McClernan
Unfortunately course stakes for #8 and #9 were removed from the course before all groups were able to play so we have to invalidate those ones.
In our skins game, we had LOTS of skins.
- Gross Skins: Zach Kamerer (x2), Howard Hoffman, Brian Sutton and Michael Saless each earned $23.00 per skin.
- Net Skins: Steve Couture, Gary Ridout, Larry Jocelyn, Michael Saless, Steve Benson, Christoper Gaspard and Zach Kamerer each earned $23.00 per skin.
Although it’s fun to see my name up there twice, I have to admit I missed both putts on my closest-to shots. I’m not giving the chits back, but just had to call myself out for the failures. Because in golf, you call penalties and no-good-lousy-putts on yourself. What a dumb game, can’t wait to play again. Congrats to all the jerks who advanced to round two.
@Brad-Jordan but did you hear about that poor guy who didn’t get into the skins game and had an eagle on #3?
Oh yeah, but as the ancient philosophers debated on the links of yesteryear – would he have made the eagle if he had signed up for skins… Really makes ya think.
