One could argue that Tough Day was easier this year because it was a few weeks earlier than usual, the temperatures were more pleasant, and the maintenance crew was back to full staff — so the leaves were MUCH less of an issue than years past.

However, most everyone was still pushed a bit, playing tees they’re not accustomed to, playing with a bit more rough than years past, and aiming for a few pin placements that were slightly more difficult than our typical Saturday morning round.

Of course, none of that mattered to some folks — see below.

In the Championship A flight, Kenny Flynn shot a smooth 74 from the gold plates to take 1st Gross. 2nd gross went to Brandon Miller. Sandbagging BJ Richardson shot a net 69 to win 1st Net, and Terry Payne claimed 2nd Net.

The Championship B flight, playing the Blue plates, saw Zach Barnes win first gross with 84. 1st Net belonged to Chad “LETS GET PUMPED UP!” Carter with a net 67. Pete Schantz (Seriously? No, this can’t be right…) claimed 2nd Net.

In the Senior A flight, also playing the Blue plates, David Brown shot an EASY 74 to win 1st Gross. 1st Net was Brian Sainz with a net 71, and 2nd Net went to Todd Brown.

In the Senior B flight, playing the Blue tee markers (MGA tees), Jim Williams had “just enough” to nab 1st Gross, and Gene Cox claimed 2nd. 1st Net was won by none other than our 1st VP Steve Livingston with a net 69, and 2nd Net went to Joe Crocker.

In the Super Senior A flight, also playing the Blue tee markers, Jerry Johnson shot a nice 77 to claim 1st Gross. Hugh Quinn claimed 1st Net with a net 73.

In our largest flight, the Super Senior B, Smiling Rodie Marovich claimed 1st Gross with 80. Mark Robson claimed 2nd Gross. On the Net side, Ralph Cox won 1st place with a net 68. Henry Johnson 2nd, and Dave Edenfield 3rd.

In the greenies contest, Mister Mark Hartson and John Holzworth won on #7, and Lee “TANGLEWOOD” Ross and Chip Baker won on #11.

Special thanks to Bruce and all the maintenance crew for getting the course in great shape, and all the leaves under control. It was truly appreciated.

Also, thank you Steve Livingston for another outstanding tournament.
