Jeff Meyers won the 2019 edition of the Hacker’s Firestone 9 Turkey Shoot, the closest-to-the-pin contest held annually on Thanksgiving eve in Akron.
It was a tough night to get any ball to finish close to the flagstick, with a strong wind blowing out on a firmer-than-normal landing spot. But Meyers left his best at 3 feet 9 inches to take the title, and with that he won a foursome of players for the Firestone Country Club’s North or West Course next season.
Mark Schneider (above) finished second just inches outside of Myers, earning him a 2020 Firestone 9 PDP Range Membership. Josh Prok and Brian Calabrese tied for third place.
Between the great shots, shanks, and a guy wearing his Brownies pajamas, it was a great night of fun…
