TOURNAMENT SEASON at the Golf Club
Spring and early summer are busy at the Golf Club with a number of tournaments and other events. Fortunately, we got lucky with the weather and dodged the rain on most days. Thanks to all that participated and congratulations to this year’s champions. By Corey Roberson officially started with three of the 9-hole matches being played and the last two matches on Saturday. All flight winners advanced to the Lonestar Shootout on Saturday afternoon. Two teams were eliminated on each of the first three holes leaving us with the reigning champions Jeff Smith and Vance Smith vs. Steve Cruse and Tyler Hersperger. Jeff and Vance made C-Star history by winning the Lonestar Shootout for a second time and were crowned the 2021 C-Star Champions.
ery/Vanderpool and Harkness/Story made it to #18 to battle for the highly coveted Championship Belts. Vanderpool smoked a driver right down the middle to leave his partner 125 yards away from the green. Story also hit a good drive down the right side that got an unfortunate bounce and hung on the hill leaving his partner with a tough shot. Harkness grabbed a 9-iron and attempted to hit a cut with the ball above his feet to a tucked right hole location — he clipped it great, but needed one more stick and ended up in the bunker. Emery hit a conservative wedge shot to the front edge of the green leaving his partner easy work for par. Harkness/Story drew a poor lie in the bunker which led to a low stress victory for Emery/Vanderpool. Congratulations to our 2021 El Compadre Champions, Glenn Emery and Nick Vanderpool.
