Show Logefeil, Bean win sudden-death playoff to take Member-Guest golf tournament by Handy llanskat Members of the Park City Men's Association and their guests had their day last Saturday and Sunday on the Park City Golf Course. This weekend was the third annual Park City Men's Association Member-Guest Member-Guest Golf Tournament, and according to Head Pro Doug Vilven it was the most successful in the three years of the event. Vilven said a total of 34 teams competed in the tourney, almost double the entries of any previous member-guest tournament. Events included a derby, a putting contest and a two-day tournament. In the Friday night derby nine teams competed in the A flight (the lower-handicap players), while seven contested the B flight. In a derby, one team is eliminated at each hole on the basis of score. Emerging on top was the team of Rich and Blaine Cropper in the A's, and Lloyd Stevens and Dick Ringwood in the B's. The Cropper tandem earned $90 in pro shop merchandise for their efforts, while Stevens and Ringwood took home $70. On Saturday morning it was time for the putting tournament on the putting green. It was a close affair, but the team of Merle Huseth and Dave Hanna chalked up a score of 16 on the nine holes to take $100 in goodies. There was a three-way tie for second among the Cropper duo, Rick Otto and Bruce Barnes, and Bill McComb and Don Gile, all at 18. Each of those teams earned $20. But the two-day tourney was the big event of the weekend. Saturday's round followed criss-cross rules, meaning the two team players alternated, hitting each other's ball until the hole was complete. Sunday was a best ball format, where the best score was counted after each player finished the hole. In the non-handicapped A flight ranks two teams were putter and driver above the rest. Those were the combos of Bob LogefeilKen Bean and John NewmanBilly Waxman. Both tied at the end of 36 holes at 141, forcing a sudden-death playoff. On the first hole of sudden death both teams parred the No. 1 hole. But on No. 2 trouble struck the NewmanWaxman duo, as both shanked their shots into the trees. Bean also hit his tee shot in the trees, but Logefeil came through for the par. His best ball was counted, while the NewmanWaxman team could only take a bogey five. Logefeil and Bean won $150 in prizes for their victory, while NewmanWaxman had to settle for $110 in goods. Six shots back in third at 147 was the Cropper team, who earned $80 worth of additional prizes. Enough is enough! The progress of the two top teams was interesting. On Saturday LogefeilBean shot par at 72, while NewmanWaxman burned up the course for a 68, four under. On Sunday it was as if the two teams had changed coats, or clubs, or swings as LogefeilBean shot 69, while NewmanWaxman bloated to 73. Of course, there was also an A-flight A-flight net-winning team. Tony Cate and Ron Purdom's score of 122.26 netted them the $150 prize. In second was the Bill McCombDon Gile tandem, followed by George Dawson and Rich Nelson in third. In the B flight Glen Artist and Steve Barnes were the sharpshooters of the gross scores at 153. In second was Mickey Smith and Gary Duke at 156. Then came Phil Raben and Sid Utake in third. Their prize winnings corresponded to those of the other winners. Lloyd Stevens and Dick Ringwood came in with the top B-flight handicapped score at 122.80. In second was Russ Duket and Mike Goodin at 124.80, followed in third by Derrell Reeves John McCandless at 126.48. |
