Summer has finally decided to visit us here at the Old Baldy Club, and just in time for two of our first tournaments, the Ewe Tourn and the Two Man Match Play. Both of these tournaments have unique formats, and went over extremely well with both fields. So here is a little bit of a re-cap of both tournaments, and some photos to go with it.
The Ewe Tourn
The Ewe Tourn is our annual ladies member/guest where the women send the men packing and form two lady teams to compete in a two day net & gross eclectic tournament. In our eclectic format we have the women take their best scores on each individual hole, both net and gross, over a two day period. At the conclusion of the two days you combine your best hole scores to form both your eclectic net best ball and your eclectic gross best ball. Prizes are awarded on a net and gross basis in each flight, along with overall winners.
Pictured above are our overall tournament winners. To the left are our overall gross winners, out of the first flight, Cassie Caputo and Sue Moore. To the right, out of the third flight, are some familiar faces bringing home the awards for overall low gross, Mrs. Pam Gallagher and Mrs. Judy Montgomery.
This tournament was a huge success and we hope to see everyone, and more, back next year!
What could be our most under-rated tournament of the year, the Two Man Match Play provides all the excitement of our bigger tournaments, but with more intimate field. Fifteen two man teams comprised our thirty man field, with three flights of five teams. After playing five, nine hole matches worth ten points per match, the top two point getters and ties in each flight got entered into the always popular shoot-out. This is where we take 6 teams, top two teams in each of the three flights, and and "shoot them out" on the course to play a one team elimination per hole starting on #10 to determine our winner. After hole #13 only two teams remained, with #14 determining our winner. The only problem was both teams were tied after #14, so they decided to play #15 to crown our champ instead of the customary chip off to break the tie. You don't see that kind of stuff too often, it was alot of fun out there. Here are some pics to show you what we're talking about.
Below to the left are our Runner Up team of Mr. Vic Gallagher and Mr. Steve Schalk. These guys fought to the finish to stay in contention for the win, barely missing a 10 foot putt for the win on #15. To the righ are our 2011 Two Man Match Play Champions, Mr. Stu Nickell and Mr. Greg Rouse from Cherry Creek Country Club in Denver. Congratulations to our winners, and we hope to see you all out again next year.
