Week 8: Kappatain Styles Heats Up Glenwoodie

[Nate]

The Golfers Gone Wild Tour returned to Glenwoodie Golf Course, Saturday, May 30, two weeks after torrential rains left four holes submerged, canceling our first engagement.

After missing the rainout, Kappatain Styles returned to heat up Glenwoodie. Continuing his excellent early season form, Jeff shot a net 67 and easily beat a small field of 8 players by 4 strokes.

The Glenwoodie greens were tough as usual on everyone, but K Styles led a powerful 4some, including Country Strong, Grade A and Way Cool. This grouping routinely hit 240+ yard drives off the tee to quickly navigate Glenwoodie’s 122 slope layout.

The other 4some obviously must have come out just for the fresh air, since they took more than 5½ hours to complete the round. Note to Rules Official: There has got to be new pace of play rules. With some players out of rhythm, at least one player out of patience and all players running out of time; the last 4some eventually completed the round.

Regardless, K Styles stayed focused to hit par on tough #11 uphill over the Butterfield Ravine and winning four skins. Country Strong with birdie on #17 and par at #18, also won four skins. But, the skins leader on the day was Lucky Lefty. Miller won 6 skins total. Four skins on the front with par on #7 and two more on the back making a key par at #14, a 205 yard par 3.

With the win, Kappatain Styles became the fourth player to win on Tour this season. Lucky Lefty placed second, besting Wynne and Grady by 2 tenths of a stroke net, and maintained his lead in GGW Cup Points.

Cardinal Creek Golf Course in Beecher, Illinois will host the Golfers Gone Wild this Saturday, June 6. Check your email from the Tournament Director for tee times. Glenwoodie was a first win for Kappatain Styles. Who from the GGW will emerge from Cardinal Creek?
