The team of Vaughn Snyder and Brad Wright lapped the field at Turkeyfoot on Saturday, winning the 2008 ADGA 2-Man Better Ball event with a sterling six-under par score of 65. Their score was a winner by three shots over three other teams.
The weather was rainy, wet, windy and cool, and many teams struggled with the conditions and the difficult pin positions. But Snyder and Wright didn’t seem to notice in cruising to victory. Complete results below.
Kudos to the staff at Turkeyfoot for the perfectly conditioned golf course, and to ADGA Director Tim Davis for working hard to attract such a large field for the event. (Equally impressive, only two “no-show” teams even though the weather was bad right from sunrise!)
The ADGA will play its second event of the season on Saturday, May 17 with their 4-Man Scramble at The Fairways of North Canton, presented by Sattler Machine. Entries close at the end of day on Wednesday, May 14, so call the ADGA voicemail at (440) 848-8364 or visit ADGA Online Registration page.
