[jlab-9hgl 00569] Team Challenge Results Posted

[David Griffith]

The results from the Team Challenge are posted on the golf web page. After many years of not having any special events added to the schedule, it was worth a shot to come up with something everyone might like. With rain-outs already wiping out a few dates set aside for special events, would mother nature cancel this one too? So basically, Monday's event was a combination of events that were suggested during the off-season by league members. Instead of picking one over the others, I joined a few together. The next challenge was to get the league members interested in playing in such an event. The team concept seemed to be a good idea, but determining the number of players was the hardest part. In the end, a 5-player limit was selected, and it would be up to the teams to get 5 players interested, and then deciding on what event they would participate in. The following is a summary of the results:

With Team 4 sitting this one out, and a couple teams short-handed, Team 3 almost swept all three events. After all the scores were turned in, Team 3 showed their true colors with a score of 101, winning the Team Challenge by 8 points over the 2nd place finishers, Team 5. With the win, each of the 5 players in the event will receive $20 each, and their teammates not competing, will receive $5 each. There was also a closest-to-the-pin contest on the water holes with Joe Thomas claiming the Deer Run #5 and Mark Ito getting the Cardinal #5. John Mammosser (playing on the Cardinal) took care of business on #6 with an Eagle. Congrats to Team 3 for winning the Team Challenge, and to all the winners of their events and special holes. Maybe this challenge can be added to next year's schedule with your support.
