Round 1 is in the books, folks.
CTB defeats Foreplay 43 to 37 with some strong performances. Don Grove continued his WNL prowess by scoring 7.5 points to lead the team. They will play Fairway 2 Heaven next week in the semi-finals.
Plucky Range Balls won in dramatic fashion over Drive 4 Show 41.5 to 38.5. D4S was up by 6 waiting for the final group to come in, and the Marks (Steinhauser and Lauffenburger) took 15 total points (8 and 7) to clinch the team victory. They will take on WTF in a grudge match for the ages.
Jason Lunetta shot a 34, winning 8 points for D4S in their losing effort, and had possibly the shot of the year from what I heard. Wasn’t able to talk to the man himself, but his opponents tell quite the tale – after snapping a drive left on #16 and bouncing off some trees, he found himself closer to #7 fairway than #16…we’ve all been there…but from 250+ (maybe 275?!?!) he apparently saw a window no mere mortal would see. He hit a high, hard cut (story is with a 5 wood?!?!), he ended up kicking off the #17 tee box side hill (?!?!), ending up just off the left of the green for a chip and putt for birdie (?!?!). That’s a lot of ?!?! going on, man. Beauty.
Good times this week, and looking forward to the semi-finals next week (9/13):
- Fairway 2 Heaven vs. CTB
- WTF vs. Range Balls
(FYI – There is no more open golf for the remainder of the playoffs.)
