The rain held off just long enough at Chardon Lakes Golf Course on Thursday for the Greater Cleveland Skins Game to squeeze in play for Week 24.
The nearly dry session ended with two skins won, a rare double-dip on the pin shots, and no major changes on the 2011 Leaderboard.
Brian Pentek of Painesville has caught fire near the end of the 2011 season, this time claiming a skin on the par-4 10th hole by hitting it to 5 feet and making the birdie putt.
Mike Angie knocked in a 40-foot bomb on the par-4 13th hole for the other skin of the night. Skins were worth $161.00 each.
Brian Perkins found his trip away from his home course of Erie Shores worthwhile, as “Pinshot Perkins” claimed both pin shots: knocking it to 8-feet on the 175 yard par three 11th hole; and again to 8-feet on the 212-yard 14th hole. Unfortunately for Brian, both of his birdie putts missed on the low side or it could have been a double-double-dip! Pin shots paid $49.00 each.
Next Thursday, the Greater Cleveland Skins Game travels to Hawthorne Valley Country Club in Solon for the first time ever, with play starting at 4:15 p.m.
Can Dave Sotka hold onto the lead and take home the 2011 Thompson Cup? There are only two weeks left for guys to catch him!!!
Players are reminded that in order to be eligible for the season-ending “Double Down” event in two weeks at Powderhorn Golf Course, that they must play in six or more events before that date. For some, next week’s event at Hawthorne Valley may be the last opportunity to gain that eligibility for the season ending event on October 13.
