Two-Man Team Better Ball Tournament
Prairieview Golf Course
Saturday, June 16, 2011



We had fourteen players for our Two-Man Team Better Ball Tournament at Prairieview Golf Club. What a beautiful day for golf!  (Isn't every day?) The rain left before we teed off, but the clouds remained for most of the day. As could be expected, the scores were low, in spite of everything. We had some real battles and the scores reflect it, with ties for second place, necessitating a count-back playoff to determine the winner. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the day.

Here are the results:

1st Place Team Score – Steve Blomgren & John Ramsay (63)
2nd Place Team Score – Brian Poulisse & Dave Bartel (64)
3rd Place Team Score – Dave Engstrom & Jeff Varble (64)
