2012 Old Baldy Cup

This year we had 19 teams comprised of four participants vie for the 2012 Old Baldy Cup.  This marque event in our calendar is always looked forward to for everyone around the club.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and our course conditions were spectacular thanks to Trent, Kyle, and their crew's hard work leading up to the tournament.  The two days of competition call for one net best ball on the par 3's, two best balls on the par 4's, and three best balls on the par 5's on Friday for a par of 152 and opposite on Saturday with a par of 136.  Day one leaders were Bill Hobbs group from Oklahoma in with a 139, but waiting just behind them was the team of Gallagher/Schalk coming in with a mind numbing 119 on Saturday to win going away.  Gallagher/Schalk and Mr. Hobbs team also finished first and second respectively in the always popular shoot-out. Here are some pictures from the tournament.
