Labor Day Tough Day September 2nd 2013

We had 13 brave souls come out yesterday to put their money where their mouth is.  The competed in the annual Labor Day Tough Day competition.  This year we had the Stroke play event with a twist and the skins game.  The twist in the Stroke play event was if you played back a tee you got two extra blows and if you went all the way back you received five additional pops!  You were able to take these strokes in not only the net side but the gross side as well.

The low shooter in the Gross division was our defending club Champion William Rocchi.  The Rock fired any 81 but since he pegged it up from all the way back he was able to take 5 shots of that score and ended up with a final score of 76.  In second place was Buzz "Air Tool" Baughard.  He carded an 82 from the Gold tees.  With his two bonus shots he was able to score 80 and take solo second.  Nice work Guys.  The first place prize was $40 in pro shop credit and second collected $25.  Great work guys!

In the net division we had smooth swinging Steve Schwerin carding a very impressive net 68 to take the first place spot by 3 strokes over his nearest competitor.  Steve was the picture of consistency out there by shooting identical scores on the front and the back.  The second place winner was Van Warren.  He posted a very respectable net 71 to take home his part of the winners pie.  1st place was $40 in shop credit with 2nd paying out $25.

The skins game had 14 total skins paid out each worth $10.  Six on the gross side and eight on the net side.  Buzz Baughard and Van Warren took the lions share of the skins with four skins each.  Buzz had a nice birdie on the difficult 4th hole to take home a net and gross skin there and followed it up with a birdie on eleven for another two bagger (net & gross skin).  Van had his on the 9th with birdie and they 18th with a par.  Each of his skins were also net & gross.  Can you believe that only one person made par on the 18th? William Rocchi had a birdie on the 15th that was good for both net & gross skins. To round out he skins game Steve Schwerin made net skins on the 5th and 8th holes for his two skins.  Todd Ray made a net skin on the 2nd and Andy Summers was the only player to birdie ten which earned him a gross skin.  Well done to all the skin winners!

Thanks again for playing in this event.  I hope you had some fun with the interesting hole locations.

Best,

Dave
