Small Field, Big Results

Only 4 players today (two-thirds of the members that are still in town) but the scoring was excellent regardless. Pro Ken played a flawless front 9 with 7 pars and 2 birdies for a Royal League and personal best 34 on the front. The score was good for 22 stableford points as well. Ken started poorly on the back with a double on the 10th, but nealy parred in after his par putt on 18 slid wide. Still, 73 off the stick is believed to be a tie for low gross ever in the League and Ken's 39 points is a fine result on any day.

Yours truly also had a good front 9 of 40 (just 6 shots back of Ken!) for 21 points and a 42 home to just catch Ken at the last hole courtesy of my 3 point par over his 1 point bogey.

Tony G just beat out Jack Cooper by 1 point to take home third. In spite of playing the first 2 holes with no points, Tony still made the turn with 16 points. Tony had 17 points on the back with a nice 4 point birdie on 13.

Update

A check of the Royal League Archives revealed that Steve Polaski shot the best low gross in a Royal League competition with 72 on February 7, 2008.
