The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) Club Championship was won by Todd Henne. He shot a gross score of 225 in this three-day event. This PCMGA major tournament was held on Feb. 20, 22, and 27.
A total of 141 players competed in 12 separate flights. Each flight played all three courses. The Championship Flight played from the Black/Blue combo tees. Twenty–three players competed in that flight.
In the first round at Eagle’s Nest, Todd started slow making a few bogeys, but made a birdie and parred out the front nine for a 38. On the back 9 he bogeyed 10, then made 7 straight pars. He finished with a birdie on 18 to shoot 74.
In the second round on the West, Todd made no birdies all day. With 3 bogeys on each side he shot 78.
In the third and final round on the East, Todd bogeyed the first hole, but made 8 straight pars to shoot 37 on the front nine. Three-putting, Todd bogeyed #10, #13, and #16. But, birdies on #14 and #17 got him close to even par for the back. The par-5 18th hole was a whirlwind for Todd. He drove it left. Then he hit a 2-iron into the desert/rocks to the right of the fairway bunker. From a nasty spot, he hit his shot of the day. His 7-iron from 158 yards finished 6 inches from the hole, for a tap-in birdie and a score of 73 for the day!
Todd said he made no double-bogeys for the entire 3-day tournament and that helped a bunch.
Congratulations to Club Champion Todd! Congrats to all the flight winners!!
