It was a laugher. An old-fashioned rear-end whoopin’. The mercy rule almost kicked in.
The long-time team of Mike Kracker and Dr. Jeff Mallette ran circles around the other 27 two-player teams in the field at the Turkeyfoot Golf Links’ 27-Hole Fall 2-Man Jumble, played on Sunday in Akron.
Kracker and Mallette won by a gaudy seven shots with an near flawless score of 14-under par 92: 4-under par in the better ball format; 3-under par in alternate shot; and a whopping 7-under par in the scramble format that included an eagle-birdie-birdie start.
The pair finished first in two of the nine hole sections and in second place in the other, plus they won a skin as well — good for a pirate-like haul of $1,425 on the day. Aaargh! Pass the rum.
In a distant second place at 7-under par total were the teams of Dave Oates / Mike Simpson and Tommy Li / Doug Rockich.
As always, a special thanks to Tim Davis and Charlie Mozingo for a well run event. Great job!
