A last-minute shift from Powderhorn to Thunder Hill by the Greater Cleveland Skins Game did not slow down Steve Blackburn Jr., who double-dipped another skin and pin shot to take home $201. Blackburn made birdie at the fourth hole and grabbed the pin shot on #9 to extended his lead in the chase for the Thompson Cup and the Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
Other skins were won by Paul Kish with a birdie on the seventh hole, and by John Niedzialek with a birdie on the eighth, each paying $138.
John Distefano captured the other pin shot on the third hole, worth $63.
The Skins Game was moved to Thunder Hill due to a rain delay and golf outing at Powderhorn; a special thanks to the staff at Thunder Hill for accommodating on such short notice the 18 players that participated.
The Skins Game moves to Fowlers Mill this coming Thursday, June 12 starting at 5:00 pm. Green fees are $22.00 riding, which includes a beverage. Anyone wishing to play a warm-up 9 before the scheduled Skins Game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
