Allen Freeman and Rob Schustrich had their pockets full when they left Fowlers Mill on Thursday, capturing the two skins on the night worth $253 each. Freeman birdied the tipped-out, back tee par-4 1st hole of 459 yards, while Schustrich birdied Pete Dye’s crazy downhill, sidehill, dogleg-right par-4 6th hole.
Phil Bojc took the pin shot on Hole 3 and John Distefano grabbed Hole 7. Each pin shot was worth $77.
Freeman moved up 12 spots on the leaderboard with his big skin to 12th place, and Schustrich climbed to eighth place.
Steve Blackburn Jr. has been quiet for the last eight weeks but still holds the lead of the Greater Cleveland Skin Game, in his quest for the Thompson Cup.
The Skins Game moves to Chardon Lakes GC this Thursday, September 4th starting at 5 pm. Green Fees will be $21.00 riding and $15.00 walking. Players looking for a warm up 9-hole round before the scheduled skins game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
Also, players should check this Northeast Ohio Golf website for tee times for Monday’s Cleveland Shoot-Out, beginning at noon at Fowlers Mill. Groupings and Starting Times will be made on Sunday and posted to the website sometime Sunday evening.
