With a wind whipping around and changing direction and lightning fast greens and a sloggingly slow round of golf, Brookview’s Seniors fought the elements at Braemar to finish the season.
The Valley team played to a 12-12 tie with Bunker Hills. 5 of the points came from @Chuck-Bernardy who played just well enough to win the front (on the 9th hole), tie the back and win the match. @Steve-Slivken started losing the first 4 holes but was able to win the back and narrowly lost the match to get his 2 points. @Richard-Courtney was off his game and could only get 1 point with a back 9 tie with a good par on the 18th. @Randy-Zejdlik was 4 down after 6 holes and mounted an impressive comeback to get 2 points on the back and win the match for a 4 point total.
The Golden team, needing a ton of points to catch first place University, started out with a bang versus Fountain Valley getting 11 of 12 from @Tom-Hansen and @Ramiro-Sifuentes who both shot 76. Tom’s 76 was good enough for 5 points after a half on the front 9. Tom played so well his opponent left. Ramiro’s 76 (net 70) was a 6-love blanking. @Steve-Shellenbaum joined in with his neat 84 (net 74) and won the front and the match for a 4-2 win. Unfortunately @Doug-Paquette did not have his A game and was blanked 0-6.
The top of the league standings look like this after the season final:
1 – University – 241 points
2 – Brookview Golden – 223 points
3 – Braemar – 213 points
4 – Wirth – 208 points
5 – Brookview Valley – 204 points
6 – Green Haven – 203 points
So Golden will play University in the playoff (position week) at Oak Marsh and start out 18 points back. Golden would have to beat a very good team 21-3 to be in a first place tie. Valley will play Green Haven and could end up anywhere between 4th and 6th depending on how they play and the result of the Braemar vs Wirth match.
