Graeagle Men hold Invitational

The Graeagle Men’s Golf Association held its annual Member Guest Invitational at the end of July. This year marked the 51st playing of the Invitational. The tournament had 96 players and was divided into three flights: the Championship Flight, the White Tee Flight, and the Combo Red/White Tee Flight.

The format for the tournament was the two best balls of the four-person team, on each hole. For the Championship Flight the gross score (no handicap) was used, whereas for the other two flights the gross scores were adjusted by the players’ handicap strokes. In addition to the two-day tournament, a “horse race” was conducted July 27.

The winners of the Championship Flight were Gordon Zack, Weston Zack, Kyle Nielsen, and Anthony Miranda, with a gross two-day score of 146-143 total 289.
