2011 RESULTS

The 2011 tournament was another wow factor to the pin placements.The play however was just as stellar.  We had a tie for 1st place at 13 under par.  Very impressive given the hole locations.  The team of Goik, Webb, and ? outlasted the team of Rhode, DeWyse, and Dewyse with a birdie on the first playoff hole.

2010 RESULTS

The 2010 tournament did not disappoint in the pin placements.  Even with relatively flat greens we seem to find some good spots where birdies are hard to come by.  There was quite the battle for 1st place this year with a very competitive field.  In the end the team of 'Mr. Nice Guy' Nick Spencer, 'Long knocking' Scott Miller, and 'Steady' Brad LaVictor came out victorious.

2009 RESULTS

The 2009 tournament was a competitve battle with many teams attempting to take home the hardware.  In the end the team of Nick Spencer, Tom Rezler, and Brad LaVictor went home with a 2 shot victory.  It was the closest event we had to date for the Tough Hole.  The birdies were flying around all day....maybe the holes weren't tough enough??  The tournament was a success and the word that seniors get to play from the white tees and super seniors from the gold tees narrows the gap on those flat bellies.  CONGRATS to the team of Spencer, Rezler, and LaVictor!

2008 RESULTS

The 2008 tournament was really won by mother nature.  The event was close to being postponed, however 10 die hard teams wanted to battle it out, so the show went on!  The rain never stopped and for the majority of the day it was a downpour.  By the end of the tournament players had to move their ball to different locations on the green, because of excess water.  Those that played somehow still had a good time.  The winning score of 59 seemed all but impossible given the conditions, but the team that played with them said they have never seen so many putts go in the hole from anywhere.  CONGRATS to the Goik, Horner, Horner team...

2007 RESULTS

The 1st annual Tough Hole event was a success and had to go to extra holes to determine a winner.  It took 4 playoff holes to do it, but on number 4 from under a tree on the right side some 185 yards from a tucked pin Ron Gwizdala the anchor of his team hit a laser 4 iron with a slight draw to four feet from the cup and sealed victory.  What a shot!  Most would think that would be the shot of the tournament, however in regulation Mike Gross stood on the par 3 number 16 with his partner already a foot and a half from the hole and knocked his shot right in the cup.  A Hole in One for Mike Gross, a great way to begin this annual event.  Congrats to all players who participated....
