After a lot of shuffling, we were able to hold the Rotation and had 29 teams compete in both the gross and the net events. It was a slog and a slug fest. Full results are posted here: LINK
In the Net event it was trying to hang on for dear life in those last 6 holes of alternate shot.
- There was a 3 way tie for fourth place at 7 under par:
- Nde & Monro stumbled coming home with +5 in the last 6 but finished in the money
- K Hanson & Rosner had 2 net eagles and a -3 finish
- Payne & Berndt had a solid last 6 at -2
- There was a 2 way tie for 2nd place just 1 stroke ahead at -8:
- Gaspard & Bolduc played 15 -18 at -5 to shoot way up the leader board
- Beitlich & Grubb were solid all day
- The Champs at -9 were going to be hard to beat with 2 gross eagles (#2, #9) are Richard Brynteson & Howard Hoffman
In the Gross event it wasn’t even close if you paid attention to the last bullet point above. Howie and Richard were -4 in the scramble, -2 in the best ball (their only stumble a bogey on 8) and -1 in the alternate shot. Their total of -7 was a 6 stroke victory.
In a 3 way tie for second at -1 were: Beitlich/Grubb; Payne/Berndt; Jordan/Swanson
On course prizes – except hole 8 – if you know where it is, please capture it.
Notes: last fall year the board adopted the “Richard Brynteson rule” as brought forth by Richard. That rule states that a player that wins chits in multiple flights/events in a single tournament is only eligible to win the chits & points in 1 of those flights/events. The chits they win is the highest of the ones available.
In this event this happened 3 times:
- Hoffman / Brynteson: First place in Gross & Net
- Payne / Berndt: T4 in Net and T2 in Gross
- Beitlich / Grubb: T2 in both
This complicated the payouts. The prizes that could not be given out was added up and then re-allocated evenly to all those that finished in the money (places 1-4 in both). Therefore, what you see in the link above may not be what was listed before. What is in the link above in now correct using the method described.
Please note that this rule does not apply for the club championship(s) as each championship is considered it’s own stand alone tournament.
Lastly, I hope you noticed the new bench on #16. Larry Larson will be forever remembered by the BMGA and Brookview faithful.
It was big of you to NOT mention the epic collapse of team Jordan/Swanson, who was playing with the Brynteson/Hoffman powerhouse. We were hanging with them until the alt shot, which is where the pressure was just too much for Jordan. That jerk left Swanson in a horrible spot, short-sided on #13 (bogey)…then Jordan hit it behind a tree off the tee on #14 (another bogey)…Jordan actually hit a good drive on #16 where Swan hit it greenside leaving it in a great spot, aaaaand Jordan flubbed the chip and missed a putt (turning a potential birdie into a bogey)…after a birdie on #17 (Jordan mis-hit the putt but it still went in), Jordan confidently stepped up to the tee on #18 and pumped one OB (which ended with a double).
I haven’t been able to sleep this week. Anyway, that’s showbiz baby.
Awesome about the bench for Larry – I totally missed it, but am so glad “One Putt” made it on the plaque along with Larry’s sign off. What a great group of guys we have in this league.
