Wolga Championship 2016

This season we've seen it all.  A playoff in the Handicap Tournament between Lanelle and Jennifer Pierson. Today we had the playoff to beat all playoffs between Ellen Connors and Susan Clonts.  If you could not be present to witness it, you missed a good one!  Susan and Ellen tied after regulation and went into a playoff on the hardest handicap hole on Old Course, #9.  There were monster drives, scrappy play from the rough and bunkers, and treacherous putting opportunities.  It took 5 extra playoff holes by two competitors with nerves of steel until we had a winner.  Susan squeaked by to defend her title.  Great play and great competition!

Here are the results of the tournament:

Overall Champion- Susan Clonts 78/79=157 (Ellen Connors had 76/81=157, tie was broken after 5 playoff holes)
