Despite some slight delays, Week 8 was a success! We had 44 players join us for a beautiful evening of competition. And competitive it was, as many players were in position to fight for placement in the Finals!
In an effort to produce some hot scores, we played a course with NO OB. Taking advantage of the night and winning with a PERFECT -18 (thanks to an ACE on the last shot of the evening) was the team of Luis Nava and Rueben Guzman. Luis's ace landed him a split of the $86 ace pot, as well as a first place finish for another $60! Nice shooting and congrats@
Also shooting a hot round was the team of Andre Fredrick and Nate Meyer. Their outright second place at -16 was rewarded with $34.
Close behind at -15 is where the scores tightened up. Three teams threw-off, with the team of Ben Gookin and Zack Hervey coming out on top and winning $22. Behind them was Abner Glas and Jourdyn McIntyre ($16) and then Dan VanHorn/ Mitch Crain ($14).
Three teams tied at -14, where Brody Cannon/ Mike Boe ($12) won the throw off over Jason Hicks/ Isaac Hotchkiss ($10) and Jacob Rogers/ Mat Berglund ($8).
Due to an error on my behalf, I paid an extra spot to the -13 team of Chris Kuhlman and Zack Tuck, who edged out Dominic Lombardo/ Savanna Bailey and Bobby Gates/ Zack Hursey for $8 out of my pocket.
In addition to Luis's ace on Hole 2, we also had an ace from Jim Morris on Hole 1 for the other half of the $86 ace pot! Great shot! Even more importantly, Jim's ace gave him the 5 point bonus to bump him up to 3rd place in the season standings, just one point over Chris Kuhlman! Congrats, Jim!
We had some extra prizes to give away before the Finals, so we had 3 side competitions tonight! Hole 3 featured the Longest Putt competition for a bunch of Next Adventure swag and an Innova Cobra, which was won by David Parker. Hole 8 and 9 were Closest to Pin competitions. Ben Gookin won Hole 8 for a Sockibomb shirt and an Infinite towel, and Dominic Lombardo won Hole 9 for a Streamline Drift, a mini driver, and a drink coozie. Congrats to all of our winners!
Thank you to everyone that came to compete this season! As a reminder, next week is the Finals. Everyone is welcome to play as normal, but the top 10 players will play in a separate division for additional prizes.
Shout-out to our Title Sponsor Brody Cannon for ELEETE Real Estate, as well as major contributor Albert Ricker and all other friends of the league that have donated prizes. And a special thanks to Francis Adzima for helping me ensure that things run smoothly every week!
See you next week!
