The Brookview Golden and Valley teams of the Metro Seniors league traded blows at a great course on a great day.

Golden 1 – Valley 5
B player Ramiro Sifuentes (Valley), fresh off his 6 point week 1 win was licking his chops to get revenge on Roger Hamm (Golden) after Hamm traded him. Roger also won the front 9 on the 9th hole and ran away with the match on the back:
Golden 7 – Valley 5
Dan Olson (Golden C player) was looking to avenge his WNL loss to Pete Steichen (Valley C player). Dan was 2 up after 2, then Pete bounces back to halve the front side. Dan comes charging back to win the back side and the match:
Golden 12 – Valley 6
The D match was Doug Diedrich (Golden) vs Steve Slivken (Valley). Steve runs away with the first 9, but Doug manages to right the ship enough to split the back:
