Stevens & Holloway Win Fall Shootout
Charlie Stevens and Mike Holloway win the Fall Shootout, again.
Windy conditions did not bother the 1st round leaders as they posted a day's best 65. Stevens started the round with an eagle at #1 and birdie on #6. Holloway followed with a 40 foot birdie putt on #7. The pair's only hiccup was a bogey at #9, taking a 2-shot lead into the back
nine. Birdies at #10, #11, #13, and
the final nail in the coffin at #16
earned them their 3rd consecutive
Fall Shootout victory.
Brian Petri and Nick Museousky
won the 1st flight, shooting a two
round total of 5 under 137.
Congratulations to the victors and
thank you to all participants for
playing this year!

Elliot Soyez wins the 2019 Match Play
The 2019 Wichita Match Play started Friday at Crestview Country Club's North Course with a full field. This year's match play championship had one of the more accomplished fields in recent
years.
Elliott Soyez outlasted Eric Johnsen in the
final match to win the 2019 Wichita Match
Play. The pair made the turn All Square
before Soyez quickly won holes 10 and 11
to go 2 up; a lead he held onto to win the
match.
Soyez has been on great form and
seemingly cruised to the final match, never
making it past the 16th hole.
Johnsen on the other hand had one of the
more climactic paths to the final match.
Johnsen won his first match against 4ball
partner Jason Novascone in 19 holes, then
proceeded to take out #1 seeded Kale
Reynolds in 19 holes before darkness
stopped play Saturday evening. Sunday morning's semifinal match was no
different as Johnsen came through and won holes 17 and 18 against Matt Lazzo to win 1 up.
Dan Zimmerman won the First Flight comfortably with a 6&5 win over John Loomis in the final match.
Thank you everyone for a great tournament!
Leivian & Merchant Win Fourball in a Playoff
Chad Leivian and Andy Merchant storm back in the final round to win the 2019 Eldis Beets Four-ball. The pair had the low round of the day with a 65. which was good enough to
force a playoff with the overnight leaders
Tyler Chapman and Kerry Petricek.
Leivian nearly holed a 50 footer for birdie
on the 2nd playoff hole. However, it was
good enough as Chapman missed his
breaking par putt to force a 3rd playoff
hole.
The father-son duo of Randall and
Randy Vautravers won the 1st flight
convincingly with a steady 3 round total
of +1.
Gene Bowden and Brent Bahner won
the Senior Division. They started with the
low round of the tournament among all
divisions and then held on for a 4 shot
victory.
Matt and Chris Davis finished as champions of the 2nd flight.
Thank you all participants for a great tournament!
