We had our best showing of the season last Saturday with 19 total competitors. Will Graham took 1st in a 9-player A Pool, Bee Yang took 1st in a 8-player B Pool, and Sal DelReal won in a 2-player C Pool duel.
Notably - our ace pot shrunk a whole heck of a lot and Mike B knows where they money went. He aced hole 17 (8 short), taking home a $246 ace pot. Congrats Mike! This is the first league ace since Allen Black's ace on hole 17 at PC on June 11th. Prior 2024 league aces were recorded on March 16 (Scott Groves and Anthony Purpero), March 2 (Dan Allen), and Will Graham (January 13).
Will took A Pool by shooting -11 with zero bogeys. David Sramek was one stroke behind and also stayed bogey free. Dan Allen and Cyle Ziegler rounded out the cash line shooting -9 and -8 respectively. Our dear homie Scott tragically went bogey-bogey-bogey to finish his round and drop from having a 1 stroke lead on the field to missing the cash line. As we say in my homeland of Minnesota - oofdah!
The B Pool battle turned into a heater with the Bee man himself critically notching a 1 stroke lead over 4 players to take solo 1st. In a tie for 2nd and rounding out the B-pool cash line were Mike B, Derek, and Naz.
The C Pool battle between Sal and Jeremy was won by Sal who finished at -2. Sal also beat 2 B Pool players and 1 A Pool player (me). Way to go Sal! His 875-rated round was a whopping 105 points above his rating. B Pool better watch out! Sal be coming.
Stats wise, Holes 7 and 2 played the most under par at -0.58 and -0.53 throws from par. Hole 15 still had a lot of birdies (12) with the new raised basket, but it also had 3 bogeys. As usual, hole 10 played tough with zero birdies, averaging +0.32 throws from par. Hole 4 was bogeyed by 42% of players, averaging +0.37 throws from par.
Other fun facts:
-Naz is the only player who has cashed in all three weeks of league with two 1st place, and one 2nd place finish. Go Naz! Unfortunately, no matter how well he plays this Saturday, his streak will end as this Saturday...
-There will be NO PAYOUTS this Saturday as the league round will be doubling as the annual Frozen Turkey Tourney for charity. Entry can be paid with either a frozen turkey, frozen ham, or a $20 bill. Comment on the tourney page if you plan to show up so I can get you signed up ahead of time:
