Howie Tiger
The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association conducted their “Summer Sizzler” golf tournament on Wednesday, July 24 and Thursday, July 25. Early morning shotgun starts helped the players cope with high humidity (monsoon season) and searing temperatures. They played the Tuscany Falls West course on Wednesday and the Tuscany Falls East course on Thursday. A total of 54 players participated in the event.
The format for both days was individual gross and net. Prizes were based on the total two-day score and awarded for two places for gross and five places for net in each of three flights. Two flights played from the blue tees and one flight played from the white tees. Most players also participated in the gross and net skins game paid separately for each day and flight.
Following play on Thursday, players were served hot dogs, beer and soda in the Chianti Room of the Tuscany Clubhouse.
The scores were amazingly close with many ties or a one-shot difference. The scores were also very close to the 2018 results!
