“Hot and breezy” best describes the conditions at Powderhorn Golf Course in Madison at the Greater Cleveland Skins Game on Thursday night.
And “hot and breezy” can also describe the way Mike Angie played on Thursday as well.
Angie opened his round with a birdie on the long par four 10th hole to and take the first skin of the night.
Angie then took home the pin shot on the 14th hole, worth $51.
Finally, Angie added another birdie skin on the par-5 16th hole. Hot and breezy…
The Executive Directors of the Akron District Golf Association and the Chippewa Scratch League paired up to put a beating on the field at the Chippewa Scratch League on Monday.
Oh yeah, and two guys won a thousand dollar skin on Monday, too.
21 players turned the Quail Hollow Country Club’s Weiskopf-Morrish course into a birdie-fest on Thursday evening at the Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
But two big stories emerged: Dave Sotka added to his 2011 lead in the race for the Thompson Cup, and first-time player Brian Smith of Amherst came away the big winner on the evening.
It’s turning into a two-man tussle, back and forth.
Dan Predovic of Berea made yet another move to regain the top spot he held for several weeks on the 2011 Greater Cleveland Skins Game Leaderboard. Thursday at Fowlers Mill, Predovic grabbed both pin shots and sank a 20-foot putt for a birdie skin on the 180-yard par three 7th hole to win a skin.
The top five players on the 2011 Greater Cleveland Skins Game Leaderboard at the completion of play on July 14th (Event #13 at Quail Hollow) will gain exemption into the 54-hole finale of the 2011 Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Brecksville, Ohio August 12-14.
Last week, Dave Sotka took the lead for the first time this year on the Greater Cleveland Skins Game Money List.
This week, he put an exclamation point on his desire to stay in the top spot and win his second Thompson Cup.
Sotka, the 2007 Skins Game champion, double-dipped for both a skin and the Mulligan’s pin shot on Thursday at Chardon Lakes Golf Course, hitting a five iron to eight feet on the long, uphill par-3 fourth hole and making the putt.
