The team of Mike Armour and Dave Trier shot a sizzling round of 8-under par 63 to win the ADGA’s 2-player better ball event at Turkeyfoot Golf Links in Akron on Saturday.
An eagle at the par-5 16th and six birdies (including a great birdie at the long par-3 15th) against a lone bogey at the par-3 13th gave the Armour/Trier pair a two shot victory over the team of Ryan Maxwell and Ross Beal.
In fact, the birdie at 15 and eagle at 16 by Trier and Armour were two of the three skins won, giving them a pretty thorough haul for the day.
The next ADGA event will be a 4-man scramble at Brookledge GC in Stow on Saturday, May 16th. To register, visit the ADGA website or call the ADGA voicemail at (440) 848-8364 and leave a message.
Mother Nature won Week 2 of the Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
Only seven players competed in the rain on Thursday at Powderhorn, and there was little to show for it as all skins were tied out: birdies on the par-4 second hole, the par-5 fourth hole, and the par-4 seventh hole.
Pin shot winners were Mark Foss from Mayfield Heights, hitting an 8 iron to the 155 yard fifth hole to 10 feet, and Eddie Neer of Lyndhurst hitting the tough 200 yard 8th hole. Pin shot winners took home $24.50 each.
