It was a night of close matches, as all but one of the matches were tied at least 4 times during the round.
|
Thanks again to Dan and Paul for filling in tonight. Dan has once again hit the 10-match mark as a sub.
|
Im not sure if it was the weather, or that we were playing on the front nine, but we had 7 handicaps go down, 3 remained the same and only 2 that went up, as 9 players shot better than their handicaps. It may be worth noting here, that with just one exception, the lower handicap player in each match ended up with the win.
|
Not surprisingly, Marty and Mark were the only players with gross skins tonight, with Marty snagging 2 skins at the 2nd hole, and Mark with 4 at the 6th.
|
In the net skins category, Bob took 3 at the 3rd with a net birdie, while Tim took 5 at the 8th hole.
|
The first match out featured Mark and Bette. Mark continued his stellar play on the front 9 this season. Carding a 1-over gross that was just too much for Bette in the long run. With the match still square after two holes, Mark started to pull away, getting to 3-up through 6, assuring himself of at least a tie. Bette managed to hold him there for one more hole, but Mark took the last 1 ½ points for the 6-3 win. Nice round!
|
Dan Richardson and Bob started out fairly even, with the match all square on 4 different holes including the 6th. Maybe it was the rain, but Bob struggled from that point on, leaving Dan to take the remaining 3 holes for the 6-3 win. Tough finish Robert.
|
Andy jumped out to an early 3-up lead against Dan Palmerino, only to see that lead fall to just 1-up after 6 holes, as Dan found his rhythm. With just that 1-up lead going into the final hole, the advantage went to Dan with his length on the long par 5. Both players found tree trouble to the right and ended up with lengthy 3rd shots. A split at that hole gave Andy the narrow 5-4 win as they also split the bonus point. Great match Dan! (Both players also may owe Tommy for Mohsingers on the 2nd hole)
|
Marty and Dan Fusco had the most tied holes on thew night at 5, with the match squared up on six holes. Including the 7th. In the end, it was Marty taking the final 2 holes on his way to the 2-over par 5 ½ -3 ½ win. Great round Marty! Way to keep it close Dan!
|
Next up was a match between two players with 86 combined years of experience in the league! Starting out all square after the first hole, it was Tommy leading most of the way, allowing Dave to square it up again only once at the 5th hole. Tom quickly regained the lead, finishing 2-up for the 5 ½ - 3 ½ win. Great round gents! Between you shot net par.
|
Last but not least, in our shortened field of 12, we had Tim firing his best score of the season (so far)! After starting out even through the 1st, Tim took the lead on Paul and never looked back, racking up 6 points plus the bonus along with low net and top Hacker Cup points for the night! Great round Tim! Are you SURE you cant reschedule whatever it is that is causing you to miss the final week of the play-offs? Paul, what can I say, you caught him on a good night. |

Mark moved further ahead here, followed closely by Tom, just 1 ½ points behind, as he moved out of the 2nd place tie with Dan Fusco, into solo 2nd place. Dan fell 2 spots into 4th , just ½ behind Andy who moved up from 4th to 3rd. Meanwhile, Marty has moved into a tie for 5th place with Tim, both players moving up from 11th and 10th, respectively. Just 2 more weeks to make your move folks! |
Marty and Mark each moved up 1 position here into 1st and 2nd as Dan Fusco dropped 2 spots to 3rd place. Tim made a big move up from 9th to 4th followed by Andy moving up 1 spot into 5th place. |
