Jason Chadima holed a 6-iron from 175 yards for eagle on a par-5 while Mark Thomas made a bundle of birdies.
Jim Cea and Ron Bell showed that age means little and that getting it in the hole means everything, winning the Senior Division with the same final score as the main division.
Those were the two story lines from the Akron District Golf Association’s first event of the 2011 season, the Parke Thornton 2-Man Better Ball at Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links on Saturday.
The greens at Turkeyfoot were perfect and the overall course conditions were surprisingly good, as it is one of the few courses in the area that drains well regardless of the amount of rain it receives. But truly challenging hole locations coupled with a schizophrenic weather pattern throughout the day kept the scores from going too far under par.
Chadima and Thomas used their long-shot hole-out eagle and a slew of birdies to post an impressive front nine score of 5-under par 31 at Turkeyfoot Saturday, on their way to shooting a 5-under par total of 66 and a two shot victory in the main division.
On the senior side, Cea and Bell matched that scoring effort with a 5-under par 66 of their own, good for a three shot win.
