As predicted things went well this past weekend for the “
President’s Day Match Play Championship”. The weather was awesome, except for a little fog delay at the start of round two and the golf course was in fabulous condition.
First off, many thanks to KW Godwin, the Head Professional at Deercreek Country Club and the wonderful staff headed by General Manager Nicola Fulford for arranging the full use of the golf course on Sunday and Monday. Please send them a note of thanks, Address is always on the tournament webpage.
I mentioned many times in the past that Match Play is as much about endurance as it is about skill, decision making, strategy and a little luck. Endurance or lack thereof will certainly affect the latter factors as one gets fatigued. Deercreek Country Club certainly gives you the test of endurance. Walking this course for two days straight will add nearly 18 miles to your pedometer. I’m happy to report parents, grandparents and all players/caddies survived their travels as they meandered through the well designed and challenging to play golf course.
See you on the links!
