Final Day!

After a short night of sleep we were back at the course at 6:30am. The morning is the same routine as the day before, however we got to the golf course and I was picked up by the General Manager who took me straight out on the course to show me the storm damage from the night before. A mini storm blew through with high winds and blew over trees throughout the course and a bolt of lightning struck a deer on the 17th tee and killed it. I have never seen anything like it before. With the debris all over the course and chance of weather we had to make sure to get the players off on time and that they were safe. So the plan we came up with was to take the players that were suppose to start on hole 1 and have them start on hole 7, They would play 7 thru 9 and then go back and finish 1 thru 6 before they headed to the back. With the 6th hole beginning so close to the 10th tee it worked out just fine. We got everyone around the golf course and crowned a new Four Ball Champion, Travis Mitchell and Tyler Stalker both of Springfield shot a 61 to finish at 17 under par and win by two strokes over the Defending Champions. Mitchell and Stalker shot a smooth little 28 on the demanding back nine holes, Congrats boys and great playing!!
Once we got the results posted and the awards given out, the trailer was loaded and we are pulling out of town at 8 and heading home. Hope to make to my bed by midnight if not oh well. Back at it Monday and get ready for Thursday thru next Tuesday in Branson.

I would like to finish and say a huge thank you to the staff of Dalhousie, what a wonderful job they did for us and the players. It was a great weekend for everyone involved.
