Rob Shustrich found Thunder Hill Golf Club in Madison to be “easy pickings” on Thursday, making three birdies (#4 and # 9 held up for skins worth $64.40 each) plus the pin shot on the ninth hole, worth $49. Shustrich earned $177.80 for the night’s triple-dip, moving him up to the fifth spot on the season-long leaderboard.
There were five skins total: Joe Tasca birdied the fifth hole for a skin; John Distefano birdied #6 for a skin; and Steve Blackburn Jr., the Greater Cleveland Skins Game leader who has not made a skin in 17 weeks, finally cashed in again with a PAR SKIN on the 7th hole!
Mike Angie took the other pin shot of the evening, on the third hole.
Only two more weeks to go in the Greater Cleveland Skins Game 2008 season, culminating at the “Double Down” at Pleasant Hills on October 23 and the presentation of the Thompson Cup trophy.
The Skins Game moves to Pleasant Hills GC this coming Thursday, October 16 starting at 4:00 pm sharp due to daylight concerns.� Any player that wants to play a “warm up 9 hole round” before the scheduled skins game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
