TEAM PLAY TOURNAMENT 2008
The Team Play Championship was played at Windsor Golf Course in Windsor, CA. on Sept 9-10. 36 teams (144 players), who had won or placed in their Area Qualifying matches, participated in the 2-day event.
The Forest Lake Strokers from Stockton area took first place. We had 9 teams from Sacramento Area, 6 teams from Redwood and North Central, 4 teams from East Bay and Stockton, 3 from San Jose, and 2 each from Fresno and Monterey. The winners were represented by 4 teams from Sacramento , 3 each from Stockton and Redwood, 2 from North Central, and 1 from Fresno.
The weather on the first day was very refreshing if a bit misty and cool... the coastal effect had arrived! The second day was a more pleasant, sunny day. There were a few grumblings about a couple of difficult holes, but mostly we heard the players were having fun and enjoying playing the course . We paid out 12 places to 13 teams. It was a tight match with only 13 strokes separating the first place team from the 12th place teams. There were 5 ties among the winners and 6 other ties over the rest of the field.
The event ended with a great lunch at Charlie's restaurant.
