In the second hosting this season for the league at Brookview, both teams played well enough to retain their positions in the standings. With a week to go in the regular season, the Golden team remains in second place with a 14-10 win over Wirth, 21 points behind the U and and 12 points above their nearest pursuer, Braemar. With even a moderate showing next week, it seems like the Golden team will head into the playoffs in second place.
The Valley team, tied #3 Braemar 12-12 to hold on to 4th place. In a much more tenuous position in the standings, they need a solid showing next week as their nearest pursuers, Wirth at only 1 point down and Green Haven only 7 points down, could jump up. With a moderate showing they should remain in at least the top 6. Your Brookview teams are representing us well across the metro!
@Stan-Hop was the star of the day for the Golden squad winning all 6 points even though he gave 8 strokes to his opponent. @Ramiro-Sifuentes also gave 8 strokes to his opponent but only collected 5 points with a net 72. @Gary-Ridout gave up 9 strokes but his net 80 was only good enough to win the back 9 and 2 points for the team. @Doug-Diedrich was called away from the course after gaining a tie and one point on the front nine.
The Valley team’s 12-12 split was led by captain @Sheldon-Silberman with a 6 point win with a net 76 but good enough to beat his struggling opponent. @Marty-Mangold shoots a net 70 on his first time on the gold tees blowing away the Braemer team captain for 6 points. Neither @Chuck-Bernardy nor @Dean-Penk had a good day with net 78 and net 83, respectively. Both were skunked after reasonably good starts on the front.
The regular season finishes next week at Braemer with the playoffs a week later at Oak Marsh, a shot-gun start with head-to-head play for final positions. If everything breaks in our favor over the next two weeks, we could be in 1st and 3rd place at the end!
