Pete Acevez fired a solid 3-over par 75 to edge Bill
Springer and Dale Vechey by a single stroke during the IAA's first 2004 Golf event hosted
by Glenwoodie Golf Club. The event attracted 111 players.
Highlighting the outings this season is the "Team Challenge" event that all
players are eligible. Players play in their own preferred groups as in the past. After all
players have posted scores, they are flighted into four groups. Teams are then assigned
one player from each group using a computerized assignment program. Teams scores are then
based on a combination of the low score, middle two scores, or low three scores for a
given hole, dependent upon the specific hole. In addition, players can enter the optional
Team side pot for $5. And, if they are the member of the lowest scoring team, they share
the pot with the others on the team who are entered. If only one player has entered the
optional side pot, they win the entire pot. If no player on the winning team is in the
optional pot, the next low scoring team is given the pot provided they have participating
players.
Championship team members for the May outing are Dale Vechey, Ryan Schuldt, Dennis
Bastin, and Josh Wise with a score of 164. As members of the winning team, each player
will be awarded a paid entry into the September Championships at The Brassie (provided
they play in two monthly events). Interestly, no member of the winning team was entered in
the optional side event, which opened the door for Bill Steapleton to claim the entire
$130 pot as he was the only member of either second place team to be in optional side pot.
The next outing is June 19th at South Shore. Players can contact the course for their
tee times beginning June 5th.
