2011 Old Baldy Cup

Every club has their one BIG BIG tournament of the year, for Old Baldy it has to be the OBC Cup.  Members captain teams of four, some all members and others the captain and three guests, in a two day best ball event.  On Friday the 15th the teams tried to put together their best 3 balls on the par 5's, 2 best balls on par 4's, and 1 best ball on the par 3's for a par of 152. Flip it on it's head on Saturday for what proves to be the harder day.  3 best balls on the par 3's, 2 best balls on the par 4's, and 1 best ball on the par 5's.  With 80% of handicap given, not alot of guys get strokes on the par 3's, so the second day is alot harder day to score, but don't tell that to the Tibbs boys.  In it from the start, the team from Franklin Louisiana was only a few strokes off the lead the first day, then came in with an untouchable 122, almost unheard of.

Almost as coveted as etching your name in the OBC Cup is taking home the bragging rights of OBC Cup Shoot-Out Champs.  We run this as a seperate optional event, 13 out of our 18 teams entered this year to try and make a dash for some cash.  Roger administered one Shoot-Out with 7 teams, Ray took one with 6 teams, the winners of each of those two mini Shoot-Outs met on the first hole to decide our winner.  Mr. Linn Bealke's team from St. Louis met head to head with the bulldozer team from Franklin Louisiana, the Tibbs team.  Continuing their dominance, the Tibbs boys came out victorious to become back-to-back Shoot-Out champions, having won it in 2010 as well.  Tournament went great, course looked fantastic, players had fun, the staff had a blast seeing all of our favorites, and we hope to see you all again next year!!

We'll leave you with a great shot, thanks to Vicki, of the Shoot-Out
