The ADGA is back! A giant field of 42 teams took to the Seven Hills Golf Course in Hartville for the 2020 edition of the Akron District Golf Association’s 4-Man Scramble on Saturday.
The weather was perfect and the golf course was in phenomenal condition, so every player knew it was going to be a shootout — even though Seven Hills is a strong test of golf.
Playing in the very last group of the day, the team of Jay Hollifield, Jon Clark, Ken Keller and Noah Frase posted a mind-boggling 19-under par 53 to get the job done. They won the event by a margin of two shots, a big win in a 4-man scramble. The effort was good for a tidy $1,800 first place team prize.
The winning team also vacuumed up the entire skins pot as well with an eagle-2 on the par-4 16th hole, worth a whopping $1,680.
That’s a good day.
Two teams finished in a tie for second place at a solid 17-under par. Ken Koprivec, Chris Okeson, Dr. Jeff Mallette and son Ryan Mallette shared runner-up honors with the Pittsburg team of Paul Ajak III, Brett Young, Rick Stimmel and Ryan Fichter.
Three teams tied for fourth place, and 12 teams earned a payout at day’s end. Variable tees by age were in play, and it was cool to see the wide age range of players who competed and cashed.
Fantastic show put on by the ADGA’s Tim and Kristin Davis and the staff at Seven Hills; thanks for a great Memorial Day Saturday event. After all of the craziness this spring, it was certainly needed.
The next tournament on the 2020 ADGA calendar is the 3-Man Shamble at Chippewa Golf Club in Doylestown on Saturday, June 13.
