Before this match I had the odds in favor of the #1 Seed Team Pfeiffer with their run from last place last year to the top of the League in the last few weeks.  However, Team Anderson (the Shirts) put an end to Team Pfeiffer’s run. 

Some of the highlights of this match: 

Jay Broadus shoots a 44, giving 2 strokes vs. Mark Halpin’s 46.  Jay and Mark tie for medal.  Carol Goldstone (subbing for Dale Schaber) shoots an impressive 38, giving 1 stroke vs. Tim Feldman’s 41.  Carol wins medal by 2 strokes.

Bill Clark shoots a 48, even strokes vs Ed Miller’s 51.  Bill wins medal by 3 strokes.

Deciding match has Gene Pfeiffer shooting a 62, getting 8 strokes vs. Brian Anderson’s 47.  Brian wins medal by 7 strokes.

Final results:  Team Anderson pulls out a win by 2 strokes.  Next on to the Finals.

This match was completed on the back nine with #3 Seed Team Kientz vs. #5 Seed Team Anderson.  I thought this match would be a slugfest, turns out it was lopsided.

Some of the highlights of this match: 

Jim Westcott shoots a 43 with a Birdie on #16, giving 2 strokes, vs Mark Halpin’s 40, with  Birdies on #13 and 17.  Mark wins by 5 strokes.

Cecil Begley shoots a 45, giving 2 strokes, vs Ed Miller’s 46. Ed wins by 1 stroke.

Mike Schwarberg (subbing for Erich Kientz) shoots a 53, giving 2 strokes, vs. Brian Anderson’s 47.  Brian wins by 8 strokes.

Chuck Reckers shoots a 50, getting 2 strokes, vs. Tim Feldman’s 45.  Tim wins by 3 strokes.

 

Final results:  Team Anderson wins team medal by 17 strokes and match and title.

Congratulations Team Anderson (IRS Golf League Champions)
