A record 29 players competed Thursday at Manikiki Golf Course in Willoughby Hills in Week 3 of the Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
Three skins were won on the evening, which paid a tidy $222.33 each. And a double-dip by one player pushed him closer to the top of the 2012 Leaderboard.
Northeast Ohio Golf has always contended that the Chippewa Scratch League has some of the best amateur players in the state, maybe in the country.
The team of Dave Oates and Sam Spino made EIGHT birdies in nine holes on a breezy day with some truly tough hole locations. Offset by a lone bogey, the pair shot a 7-under par 29 on the lengthened back nine at Chippewa to win the first event of the season by two shots.
