Saturday & Sunday, February 24th & 25th Final Results Thank you for all those taking part in the 2018 President’s Cup. We hope you enjoyed your tournament experience and will play in our upcoming events. Please join us in congratulating our flight champions pictured below. Left to right: Jerry Lazarus, 2017 Champion, joined by Bob Holliday, Gregg Deiboldt, Dave Houghton, Garrett Luebker, Charlie Romain, and Harlan Gardiner | Our Flight Champions congregated on #6 East for the Championship Shootout. Bob Holliday and Dave Houghton both hit towering shots in to the green to setup their two-putt pars. Harlan Gardiner nipped his bunker shot to 10’ for his chance at par. It was Gregg Deiboldt and Charlie Romain that were eliminated with bogeys. Dave Houghton and Garrett Luebker covered the trees left on #7 East to have a wedge into the green; David hit it to 4’. Bob Holliday made a great up and down from the bunker for his 4, net 3. Garrett and David had a pair of pars after two-putting. Harlan failed to scramble and pushed the first chip-off where he was eliminated. On #8 East, Dave Houghton was penalized with an errant layup and was eliminated. On #9 East our two finalists, Garrett Luebker and Bob Holliday, both found the fairway on their drives. Holliday played around the lake and Luebker hit into the greenside grass bunker. The two competitors were equal distance from the hole so a flip of the tee determined the order of play. Holliday earned honors on the flip and decided to putt his fourth shot from off the green above the hole only to find the bottom of the cup. With Garrett failing to scramble, Bob Holliday was announced the 2018 President’s Cup Champion.
