Couples Golf Results for April 29, 2012

What a beauty day at National for our April Couples Golf event.  We had an excellent showing with 28 players vying for the coveted crown of couples golf champion!

First we will start with the closest to the hole winners for the day.  On the Men's side we had closest to the hole contests for #2 & #17.  Dwayne Ayers hit one in there close on #2 to score the $10 credit for that hole.  I did happen to look at their teams scorecard and noticed they did not make a birdie on that hole.  I asked their de facto team captain, Mark Watson what happened and he commented "we didn't make the put."  You just can't argue with that logic.  Hole #17 was taken by Dr. Russell Stokes who stiffed it in their so close even I could have made that put.  Nice work guys!  On the ladies side it was a one Woman show with Maureen Buckley collecting both prizes on holes #9 & #12.  Great work Mo!

Now on to the official results of the day.  In the third place position we had the team of Tim & Maureen Buckley paired with Steve & Susie Points.  They shot a respectable 58.5 to collect some third place scratch.  Tim, I still can't find that long drive prize for #11.  I'll let you know if it turns up.

The second place team consisted of Steve & Lorraine Schwerin along with Joel & Cindy Tew.  They carded a 57.2 to take home the enormous amount of sweeps credit for that position.  Don't spend it all in one place.  Oh that's right you can only spend it in one place.  It's a good thing the Pro has such an excellent selection of quality merchandise at such reasonable prices.

Finally our Champions of the day scoring an impressive 55.6 was the team of Russell & Stephanie Stokes and Tom & Tracy Lorenz.  Rumor has it they were leaning pretty hard on Russ for his long driving capabilities.

Congratulations to all of our winners and thanks to all the Couples who played in the April Couples Golf event.

Best,

Dave
Not sure what was going on here but the result was a missed putt.  I am very impressed though with the patience
displayed by Tom Boals while his wife Cindy received an on course putting lesson from Team Finegold.

After encouraging The Watson's & The Ayers' to speed up the pace a bit, Karen quickly responds by draining a 30 footer and stating to me, "how is that for picking up the pace!"  Nice putt!


I think I will start calling Mr. Schwerin Ice Man because he so cooley stepped up to this 35 footer from off the green and put it right in the bottom of the cup!  Now that is what I call cool.



Mo Buckley rifling one into the 15th green here while her loyal band of supporters looks on.


I think I have discovered the secret to why Dr. Stokes hits it so long off the tee.  If you look closely here you will see he is hitting one of those new TaylorMade RBZ drivers.  I think everyone should run right out and buy one from their friendly neighborhood PGA Golf Professional!


Can you just feel the pressure this team is laying on Angus McEachen to make this put?  It is a good thing he is as cool as the other side of the pillow!
