On June 30th, Matt Heestand of Parma made a hole-in-one in the Amateur Division at the Lake Erie Golf Tour event at Tam-O-Shanter Golf Club in Canton.
That ace was supposed to net Heestand a cool $5,000 prize through a season-long sponsorship deal with the National Hole In One Association, payable for any hole-in-one made by any player all season long, according to the LEGT website.
But almost three months after the hole-in-one that Canton event, Heestand has yet to receive his $5,000 payment.
It was a beautifully calm and sunny evening along the lakefront, as the Greater Cleveland Skins Game visited Erie Shores Golf Course in Madison on Thursday.
Eighteen players came out to see if they could grab a big win and move up the 2011 Leaderboard as the season starts to wind down, but only one player accomplished that goal.
Blake Sattler of New Philadelphia, Ohio won the Lake Erie Golf Tour’s final event of the 2011 season, the Tour Championship at The Elms Country Club in Massillon on Thursday.
Wicked Woods in Newbury was the venue for the 22nd week of the 2011 Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
And on the first chilly, fall-feeling Thursday evening of this year, five skins were spread around — two of which were grabbed by a player who had not earned a skin in the previous 21 events on the season.
Mike Kracker and Dr. Jeff Mallette posted a solid 6-under par 30 in the scramble format on the back nine at Chippewa on Monday to jump up to seventh and eleventh respectively on the 2011 Monday Night League Standings.
And since no skins were won on the evening, the skins money carries over to next week — making for an interesting September finish to the 2011 race.
