April 6th First Thursday Tournament Results *Here*

Finally, after a very wet year so far, we had a glorious day for golf.  It was wonderful to see 91 players in our largest tournament this year.  Here is a breakdown of the winning scores in the team event, individual scores and skins:

There were two flights for the team's two best ball nets. In Flight 1, the winning team was Tom Ebert, Jim Thornton, Mike Brennen and Rob Kirchgessner with a combined net of 19 under par. In Flight 2, the winners were Ron Plummer, Doug Kramer, John Westermeyer and Jim Rossman with a combined net score of 24 under par.

The individual net scores were divided into four Flights: In Flight 1, the winner was Jerry Vinland with a net 65; Flight 2, the winner was Tom Ebert with a net 61.(Tom had a gross score of 72!). Flight 3 was won by Bruce Green with a net of 67, and Flight 4 was won by John Westermeyer, also with a net 67.

Joe Willis and Robert Simpson competed in a President's Cup semifinal match. Joe was the winner by a 5 and 4 margin. Congratulations!  Joe will face Tom Ebert in the final.

There were four Skins Flights: In Skins Flight 1, Mike Drennen had 3 skins with birdies on holes 4 and 13, and an Eagle on 14. John Ludlow had a double-eagle (an Albatross!) on hole # 11. This is one better than a hole-in-one on a par 3! That was amazing.  In Skins Flight 2, there were a total of four skins. In Skins Flight 3 there were three skins, and in Skins Flight 4, Shirley Skirvin won three skins with an eagle on hole #2, and birdies on holes 6 and 10.

Thank you to everyone who played, congratulations to the winners, and my sincere thanks to our president, Bill Cloud, for all the help he gave me in running this tournament.

Sincerely, Peter Cary, Tournament Director

And thanks to Peter for directing and scoring this tournament.  Despite the recent green maintenance, we had 18 players score net par or better, close to our usual percentage.  Jerry Vinland set the bar early in the lead group placing his ball about a foot from the hole on #2.  Jerry also had the lowest gross of the day (71).  Tom Ebert gave notice he was having a good day as most players got to see his CTP on #17 about 2" above the hole, a near miss ace, halting in a punch mark.
