SGA Liberty Open

June 29, 2019

The SGA held its annual Yellow Ball Liberty Open on June 29.  The competition requires a 3 ball low net score but one of those scores must be a rotating yellow ball among the four players.  Starting with the lowest handicap player the yellow ball rotates through the foursome with each player hitting the yellow ball on four holes with team choice on holes 17 and 18.  Psychology plays a big part in this tournament.  

Champions:  Brad Coppinger, Bob Urbont, Dave Samuels, (b) Joe Mufale                   -12 (204)

Second Place:  Lance Weeden, Keith Vandegrift, Larry Grogan, (b) Duke Slaughter    -11 (205)
