The Sunday Couples Championship was conducted on October 25th & 26th. The first day couples played a modified Pinehurst format. Each person drives, hit each others' drive, select the best shot and alternate until the ball is holed out. The weather had light showers on-and-off with comfortable temperatures. After a few “I am sorry’s,” the field turned in some great scores. Leading the first day in the gross division was Ron and Chris Heppell with a 74 (pictured on the right). The first day net was lead by Tim and Jeanette Bloedorn (pictured on the left) and Ed and Margaret Arnold with a 64.6. Players enjoyed beautiful fall weather on day two of the tournament and the scores were just as good. The format for the second day was better ball of two. The Heppell’s hung on to their lead and shot a second round 76, total 150 to win the gross division. The Conti’s finished second with a two day total of 162. The Bloedorn’s continued their great play and won the net division with a two day total of 127.6. Finishing just out of the lead was Russ Bosch and Chris Jussume with a 127.8. The total championship event included forty couples. Nice job by the Fox’s and the Hodge’s for chairing the season-long events.
