It was just a great day to be on the course today at Riverbend. The
temperature was just right with a light breeze and blue skys with
puffy white clouds. The Match Play event was attended by 16 players
(8 teams of 2) and we played a single elimination tournament (9 hole
matches). Sam Snead once said, “I loved match play. I would study a
guy I was playing, just like Ted Williams studied pitchers. I’d look
for a weak spot.” Darrell and Michelle Linger won the event by using
their strengths and abilities rather than others weak spots to win 3
matches and the Match Play Championship for 2013. Here are the results
of each match:
First Round:
Jeff and Lynelle Zickefoose defeated Ron and Sandy Shingleton
Mike and Natalie Hinkle defeated Bob and Ellnora Withers
Darrell and Michelle Linger defeated Bob and Betty Heavner
Charlie Straley and Gene Bryant defeated Beryl McKisic and Clay Persinger
Second Round:
Darrell and Michelle Linger defeated Charlie Straley and Gene Bryant
Mike and Natalie Hinkle defeated Jeff and Lynelle Zickefoose
Championship Round:
Darrell and Michelle Linger defeated Mike and Natalie Hinkle
Congrats to Darrell and Michelle. We are so glad they are a part of the CGA.
