Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
Two Days, Two Courses, Three Rounds
This week we planned to play two tournaments at two golf courses, The Falls at Barber Creek and The Links at Bowen Lake. It didn’t quite go as planned. For the first time this season, rain interrupted our play. You can read our rain policy in the often asked questions below, but I’ll summarize the agreement with our courses: if a course is open for play, we play. Both courses were open on Wednesday while light, but steady, rain continued falling. Thursday was a different story. Overnight rain force Bowen Lake to close due to flooding. We were notified of the decision and posted that fact on our website at 7:30 AM. Because Barber Creek has better drainage, that course remained open and we were able to complete the round on that course on Thursday. All golfers scheduled to play Bowen Lake on Thursday will receive credit. We understand that some of our members chose not to play this week, but it was their choice. They are listed as absent.
Despite the challenging conditions we averaged nearly 100 golfers each of the three days of play. The scores were also impressive. There were two scores of 9-under par 63 at Barber Creek and the winning score in every flight at Barber Creek was even par, or better. But the most amazing score was by the team of Bob Klingbeil and Kent Coon at Bowen Lake, a 59! That’s thirteen under par. I do not remember a score that low in any earlier 2-person scramble. I’ll let you look through the fifteen seasons of results archived on the website. Now that the season is over you probably don’t have anything else to do.
The results from Barber Creek and Bowen Lake are now available.
