So, once again, at high noon on May 9, the members of the Palo Verde CC and the Cottonwood CC were treated to a demonstration of golf played well when our assistant pros competed in a “Skins Game,” this time held at the CWCC course. The winner of the event was our own Joey Forsythe – Congratulations, Joey! Of course, the real winners were the members.
A Home and Home tournament with SunBird Golf Club took place on April 13 and 15. A good time was had by all, and the victors, in a very close finish, were Lew Lepore and Howard Anderson of SunBird and Ken Verbeck and Ivan Shaw of Palo Verde, with a total score of 203.
An afternoon Scramble on April 25 was narrowly won by Scott Demichael, Ed Johnson and John Kuchera who finished with a score of 38.25.
The annual CMGA/PVMGA Ryder Cup Championship was held over the April 22-23 weekend. The Cottonwood crew were the eventual winners with a total of 77 points, winning 13 of the 23 matches. (We’ll get even next time!)
A Saturday, April 22, 2017, afternoon 2 Net BB’s match was won with a score of 104 by Mike Pasternak, Tim Lamb, Jerry Esget and John Lefebre.
