Singles was much the same as doubles but everyone seemed to
be a bit worn down. Some were starting to show their frustrations out there and
it’s completely understandable as most of the players never played the course
before. Some great shots where had with the people on my card and we could hear
others making those crucial shots to keep them in the hunt. I must say though
as the day drug on I was ready for it to end, and my score of +2 reflected
this. Most of us faired similar in the singles results and by the time Caveman
rolled out of the woods it was now dusk.
To end the day we had more rounds of “Ring of Fire” and a
CTP. The CTP was won by our own Jim Parma, or is that Westerns Jim? Regardless
what team he played for he won the CTP as he always seems to cash in at any
event, even in the dark. He walked away with $40 and needs to lose some of that back to the club
members!
Having only a team of 4 there, we ended up pulling an
overall finish of 6th and a finish of 3rd in the singles
round. The SIUE team that showed only played the doubles round for whatever
reason, but still somehow was able to beat out one of the other schools. The
winning team, which did not seem to surprise many, was indeed the Fighting
Illini, so congrats to them on their overall win and probably wins in singles
and doubles. It was also good to see that there were 4 woman golfers there competing
as well, so hats off to them on their efforts.
All in all it was a great time and experience to get another
tournament under all our belts. Hopefully next time we can get more of our
members there and possibly grab a higher spot in the winners circle.
