Some expected the Hiawatha course to be submerged after the week of severe weather but both Brookview teams came to play no matter what the conditions. After all, we’re used to a little water! Both teams had successful days with the Golden Team clobbering Bunker Hills 17-7 and the Valley team posting a 15-9 win over Columbia.
@Steve-Shellenbaum (Golden team) shot a career round with a gross 77, net 64! He got a gross eagle on the par 5-10th hole! Not to be outdone, @Dan-Olson shot a gross eagle with a 2 on the par 4-17th hole. Both Steve and Dan swept all six points in their matches. @Dan-Peters had a rough front nine and managed a tie but finished strong with a 45 and took the back and the match for 5 points. Things didn’t work out as well for @Gary-Scharmer as he gave his opponent 8 strokes who proceeded to shoot a net 69. Gary was shut out on points. The Golden team moved up to third place in the league, only 6 points out of 1st place. Next week the team plays the host University Club whom they trail by 2 points.
For the Valley team, @Steve-Slivken had a very uneven match – his opponent started strong getting up 2 early on the front and building a +5 lead through 9 holes. Steve came roaring back to go +4 on the back but couldn’t quite get the match. @Chuck-Bernardy ran into a net 71 but still managed to win the back and tie the match for 3 points. @Ted-Roberts shot a nice net 73 and won the back and the match for 4 points. But it was @Richard-Courtney that carried the team with a net 73 and taking all six points giving the team an 15-9 win good for 7th place in the standings. The Valley team plays 5th place Daytona next week at the University Club.
