After a week off to lick their wounds from a resounding loss the week before Independence Day the two Brookview Metro Senior league teams took up the battle at Daytona golf club. There was good … and there was bad.
Valley Team rebounded from a stunning 2 points two weeks ago to capture a 20-4 win this week against 2nd place Wirth. Captain @Sheldon-Silberman and playing partner @Larry-Larson each took all 6 match points to lead the team. Larry went to the last hole on both the Front and the back with a 1 shot lead and won both holes for the match, shooting a nifty net 72. Sheldon was able to get up 2 with two to play on both the front and the back and glide to victory while giving up 7 strokes and shooting a net 74. @Chuck-Bernardy shot a net 76 taking the front up 2 and tying the back to get 5 points. @Steve-Slivken shot a 39 on the front but lost the magic on the back and came away with only 3 points.
The Golden Team went the other way, losing 4-20 against the previously 3rd place Braemer. @Gary-Scharmer was the big winner with 2 points with a net 75 while @Stan-Hop and @Steve-Shellenbaum could only muster 1 point each. Stan tied the back nine with a net 74 and Steve tied the front nine but couldn’t keep up as his opponent shot a 39 on the back. @Doug-Diedrich was skunked with his opponent shooting a net 70. Captain @Roger-Hamm is ready to pull himself from the lineup as he has calculated his +/- at -30 for the season so far. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have many choices!
Valley is in the 7th spot with 110 points (30 points out of first but only 9 points out of 4th). Golden slipped to 11th with 90.
Next week we play at Greenhaven where Golden takes on 12th place Hiawatha and Valley plays 6th place Fountain Valley. We need a strong finish to get into the top five with both teams.
