Lisa Schlesinger, who is no stranger to victories in MSGA-Women’s Division championships, and Brent Davis of Norbeck Country Club and Paula Renner and Gary Carpenter Jr. of Crofton Country Club both fired a one-under-par in the selective drive alternate shot competition. A birdie on the first playoff hole made by Schlesinger and Davis over a Carpenter-Renner bogey would determine the Championship. Full story and photos coming soon…
On a day where possible thunderstorms threatened for much of the day, good fortune prevailed with only light precipitation for part of the event. Good fortune also touched Rick Brown of Bowie Golf Club who had a hole-in-one on the 4th hole at Lake Presidential Golf Club. It only took 24 years of hoping for Rick to sink his first ace, which was on the par 3, 145-yard hole.
The Mixed Two-Ball, the only MSGA event featuring male and female partners, drew a relatively small, but highly competitive field of 26 teams. Both gross and net prizes were awarded to the winning teams:
