Rainy skies could not stop you “Golfers Gone Wild”.
Last Saturday, The GGW Tour met at Coyote Run. While some wondered if rain and dropping temperatures in the forecast would cause cancelation of our tournament. True to the Golfers Gone Wild name, your members were EARLY and already on the practice range.
Thunderstorms could not shock The “TaylorMade” Kid. Taylor shot a 41 on the front nine with par on five straight holes #4 through #8. But, First Group Favorites, Lucky Lefty and Kappatain Styles almost caught The Kid on the back nine. Jeff had 2 strokes too many to make up and Lefty ran out of Luck on #18. Way Cool pushed his way into the First Group next week with a 4th place finish.
K Styles did win six skins with a key par on #17. And, despite a day long struggle, Perry Gunn, “Quick Draw”, won five skins.
PLEASE NOTE: By Rule, this was the last round played scratch this year. Six members now have the required three rounds to earn a GGW Tour handicap. This should even up the field.
But, beware, after six months of anonymity in the middle of the pack, “The TaylorMade Kid” has proudly reclaimed his name, after his clubs of choice, and emerged with an early lead for Player of the Year.
Statistics have been updated.
