John Niedzialek of Concord cleaned house Thursday, as he birdied the lucky 13th hole for the only skin and captured a pin shot on the 17th hole at Pleasant Hills. Niedzialek took home a whopping $291.50 for nine holes of work.
George Martin had the other pin shot on the 18th hole, worth $38.50.
Birdies were scarce at Pleasant Hills, even with winter rules being played on the wet conditions. Niedzialek now moves up to secon place in the Greater Cleveland Skins Game Leaderboard, in chase of the Thompson Cup. Steve Blackburn Jr. still leads the list, but was shut out for the third straight week.
The Skins Game moves to Powderhorn GC in Madison this Thursday, July 10 starting at 5:30pm. Green fees will be $13.00 riding and $6.00 walking! Please thank the Powderhorn staff for being gracious enough for providing the Greater Cleveland Skins Game participant these great rates. Any players wishing to play a “warm up 9 hole round” before the scheduled skins game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
Player are reminded that the “Big $60 Double Down” 9 Hole Skin Game will be coming up Thursday July 24, and only players that have participated at least one time in the Greater Cleveland Skins game can play that night.
