Highland Heights, OH- It has not been the greatest start of the golfing season here in Northeast Ohio as rain has plagued the area and made many of the courses in the area much tougher than they normally will play. With US Open type rough very thick and trapping many of the balls hit in its direction, the course played very long and challenging.
In the Palmer Flight, Joseph Smith shot an 88 and took the title holding off James Brundage (94) and Tom Betras (95). Smith had came back on the back nine to gain the lead and hold off Brundage who took a 4-stroke lead after 9 holes.
In the Hogan Flight, Abram Boyd won his 2nd tournament in as many attempts as he shot an 84 defeating Ed Ruper (85) by 1 shot. Kevin Double finished in 3rd place with an 87. Despite 3 birdies from Ed Ruper during his round, it was not enough as Boyd rallied from 4-strokes down in the final holes to sneek out the win on the 18th. It was a very competitive flight this week as 13 players competed and the top 6 spots were only separated by 6 shots.
In the Sarazen Flight, 12 golfers competed and it was Jeff Mast who picked up his 2nd win of the season shooting an 81. He coasted through his round making 2 birdies and led throughout and finished 7-strokes ahead of the field. He also posted the low round of the day on the course. Dave Cress (88) finished 2nd and Matt Blum and Michael Yates tied for 3rd both shooting 92.
In the Jones Flight it was Edward Kocin (96) who bested Kevin Allen (132).
In the Snead Flight, Charles Burger (96) won in a playoff over Raymone Scott (96) on the 1st hole to capture his 2nd win of the season. Bob Troha (101) finished 3rd.
The next tournament is at Boulder Creek on May 14th. Hopefully the weather will turn around soon here in Northeast Ohio.
