The final event of the 2012 Chippewa Scratch League season was played on Monday under clear skies, breezy conditions, and on a golf course that was in great shape with incredibly smooth and fast greens.
While no last minute heroics by the team of Rick Bryson and Ryan Maxwell supplanted Dave Oates and Sam Spino (pictured at the right) from winning the 2012 League Standings (congratulations to Dave and Sam!), that didn’t stop two teams from cleaning up on the evening and greatly improving their season’s position.
The teams of Chris Okeson / Rob Schustrich and Shane Bishop / Ken Koprivec seemed to think that the final event of the season was a good one to ‘pig up’, maybe because of the pork feast graciously hosted after golf. Those four players took home most of the pots that were in play on the evening, leaving just a few scraps for the rest of the field.
From all of the available prize amounts detailed for the evening’s events below (overall, individual 3-hole sessions, and the two skins pots), the teams of Okeson / Shustrich and Bishop / Koprivec each pulled $798 per team from the total, vaulting both teams into the top 10 on the final season standings and boosting Bishop and Koprivec into the four-figure mark for the year.
The Final 2012 Chippewa Scratch League Season Standings are posted below. Note that the season-long sum of gift certificates and optional side games totaled $20K, and that six players finished with total winnings in the four figures!
Thanks once again to Chippewa Golf Club owner Kevin Larizza and League Manager and Chippewa staffer Eric McKinney for running one of the best competitive scratch golf leagues in the state. Week-to-week, the golf course conditions are phenomenal and the administration of the events is flawless.
The players all look forward to competing again at Chippewa on Monday evenings in 2013, and the league always welcomes any new 2-man teams who wish to join.
Kevin also reminds players that while the weather remains nice, the noon $50 Big Skins Game and a 9-hole league-time skins game with other team event options will still be held. Simply show up to play for as long as the weather holds!
