Paul C. Gomez, Maumelle, AR (August 3, 2013)
While most of the rest of the state was under water or getting rained on, in Maumelle the water held off and play went on!
Flight Winners:
Palmer Flight: (4.0-7.9)– Home course advantage proved to be a big deal for Nick Holder of Maumelle, Ar. His final score 81 is somewhat misrepresentative of his stellar play. A 'big number' on #2 was the difference between 81 and a mid 70's score. This makes Holder's first victory of 2013. Congratulations Nick.
Jones Flight: (16.0-19.9) – It took a playoff for Craig Merrill of Roland, AR to edge out Steve Rutherford of Bella Vista, AR. Rutherford bettered his back nine by 9 strokes over his front nine to catch Merrill. Merrill won the playoff on the second hole. This makes Merrill's fourth Jones Flight victory in a row - all just by playing to his handicap. Congratulations, Craig!
Merrill and Rutherford are both bound for the Jones Flight National Championship in LaQuinta, CA.
