The Brookview 20-man team won the opening leg of its home-and-home match on a Sunday, 5/2 beating New Richmond by a score of 18-12.

Brookview now heads to New Richmond, WI for the second leg on Sunday, 6/7, needing just 12.5 points to advance to the 2nd round for the first time in some 4 years.

For those unfamiliar, the 20-man match play competition is a team competition organized by the Minnesota Public Golf Association.  Participating teams assemble teams consisting of their strongest 20 players to compete against another club.  The format is “4-ball”, and the competition is gross score.

We need to assemble the very best squad we can.  Any Brookview patron with a USGA index of 9 or under, please contact Nick Schultz or Brad Kadue to ensure your name is on our distribution.  Nick will begin filling our 6/7 roster the week of 5/18.

Chits can be picked up at the pro shop.

Congratulations to Team Hack Attack for taking home the WNL Championship last night versus Slice and Dice.  Team Hack Attack was down 9 points with the final group yet to play. Curt Medina’s downtrodden walk up from the 9th green said it all.  A 20-6 win on the final card resulted in a 5 point win for Team Hack Attack.  The trophy is at home with the winners and will be nurtured with the respect it deserves until next year.

Congratulations to Andy Kim and Trent Mayberry for taking down Stan Hop and Ted Roberts in the finals of the two man match play.  Kim and Mayberry had Hop and Roberts dormie going into the 17th hole.  Hop rolled in a 30 ft putt for birdie to extend the match to the 18th, but Hop’s flat stick fell short on the next hole resulting in a push on the final hole and a win for Kim and Mayberry.
