The Fall 2011 Slyder Cup is in the Books.

J. R. and I were defending Champions of the Slyder Cup, and we tried to defend our title at Weissinger Hills G. C. today against Harold Goad and Barry Rahn.



It was a close match all the way.  The course had all players Shotgun Start today for some reason, and we started on hole #12, so holes #10 and #11 would be our finishing holes.  Here, Harold hits to the green on hole #10.  We were tied at this point after  Barry sunk a birdie putt on #17, and sunk an eagle putt on hole #18, to win both holes.   This was our next to last hole.  This hole was played as a scramble.






We lost the 17th hole when Barry sunk another Birdie Putt!  He was killing us!  Here Barry hits off our last hole, #11.   J. R. and I were down one with one to play, needing to win this last hole to halve the match.











Well, the last hole was played playing your own ball, both players score added up to be a team score.  Low team wins hole.  We managed to halve the final hole, but that left us one down and losing the 2011 Fall Slyder Cup 1up.  Here Harold and Barry received their trophy and Championship Towels.  J. R. and I had to buy the White Castle's.







The next Slyder Cup will be in the Spring.  Get your tickets early, the event sells out months in advance!  See any of the participants and they can get you discounted prices.
