Toledo pro Mike Stone and partner Jerred Barley crushed the field in the 2010 edition of the Pine Hills Fall 2-Man Ironman Scramble, played in Hinkley on Halloween Sunday.
No Halloween metaphor here either; Stone and Barley crushed ’em all — winning by six shots in a 2-man scramble and grabbing three of five skins made on the day.

In addition to difficult hole locations, there were some “Ironman” changes to the course setup that made for some interesting results:
– Hole 3 played from the white tees and measured less than 300 yards, and only 235 directly at the pin, but only 4 birdies there.
– Hole 13 was played at a distance of 475 yards, from the tee box usually reserved for the whites on #8. There was a skin with only one birdie made there.
– Hole 16 was played from 105 yards, from the red tee box. There were only 4 birdies there.
The average score for the day was 75, a whopping 3-over par for a 2-man scramble. Only eight of 26 teams in the field scored par or better for the day. That is IRONMAN!
