Well played sir and, from here on out, the stormwater inlet on #7 will be “Royce’s Drain.”

Shootout Men’s Night 5/30 Results

Men’s Night 5/30 — Shootout Front 9

We had a fantastic turnout of 29 players yesterday for our 1st Shootout of the 2024 season and everyone got to experience hitting an opening tee shot under pressure! After a few passing showers, 6 players made birdie on #1 which left a 9 for 3 chip-off amongst those who made par to see who advanced to #2. Once the advancing 9 players were set, some exciting golf followed on holes 2 through 8 with theoretical lefty shots, chip-offs, sandal swings, and a missing 3-wood. In the end, it came down to James Hsiao and Ted Pearson on #9 and, with a stellar up-and-down from the front fringe to a back pin, Ted walked away with the Shootout victory. Well played sir!

1st – Ted Pearson – 30 Chase Points
2nd – James Hsiao (eliminated on #9) – 27.5 Chase Points
3rd – Calvin Harkless (eliminated on #8) – 25 Chase Points

On the course, 28 players came out for a battle vs. Tiger’s opening round Back 9 at Augusta which we all got to watch wrap up this morning! With bogeys on #14 and #18, Tiger made the scoring interesting and, in the end with a stellar round in which he did not lose a single hole to Tiger, one man came out victorious. Scoring 15 Vs. Tiger points, well played and congrats to Leo Goff, our 2024 Masters Men’s Night winner!

When it came to the Ball Skipping contest, laughs were had all around and one man hit the shot we were all trying for. With a great skip to 22 feet, well done Jay Aanrud!

Finally, in the Putting Contest, one man only needed one putt to knock it to 6 inches and capture the victory. Great putt Jim Sussmann!
