Everyone has a lucky hole. Mark Foss finds the 12th at Powderhorn Golf Club to his liking: his birdie there held up again for a $149.50 skin.
Geoff Nicely notched the other skin on Thursday with a birdie on the par-3 17th hole, and also took the pin shot there. Nicely takes home $149.50 for his skin plus $45.50 for his pin shot.
Dave Sotka captured the other pin shot on #14 worth $45.50.
Blackburn Jr. still holds on to the season-long lead in the Greater Cleveland Skins Game. He was shut out again this week — after all four of his birdies were tied!
Players have only two more weeks to qualify to play in one of the highest paying tournaments of the year: The Greater Cleveland Shoot-Out. The Shoot-Out, an individual stroke play event, will be held Labor day at Fowlers Mill. This sponsored tournament offers a huge prize! If you want to play on Labor Day and haven’t yet played in two events this season, you only have a two weeks left to do so!
The Skins Game moves to Thunder Hill GC in Madison this Thursday, August 21 starting at 5 p.m. Green Fees will be $15.00 riding! Please thank the course management for these special green fees to our group. Any players that want to play a “warm up 9 hole round” before the scheduled skins game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
