Above: Stitt launches one towards water hazardThis Saturday was the annual Sandbagger tournament at at Cedar. The format was a pure scramble with handicaps. The sum of the four handicaps divided by four was the number of shots each team would get. Team Flegler/Walker/Haggard/Park won 1st place gross. There were a few points at stake after some side betting broke out. Gardeniaville residents Keith Stitt and Hobie Higgins teamed up with Pastor Bill Scheer and comedian/actor Rodney Carrington. The results were in fact comical. Park and Haggard wagered a few points with Stitt and Hobie. It was clear after a few holes that the only way for Stitt and Hobie to avoid surrendering points was for a rainstorm to wash out the tournament. No such luck. After a early clutch putts from Haggard and Walker and overall great ball striking from Flegler, Park was able to hole his approach shot for eagle on 18th ( 5th hole of the day). Haggard bombed a drive to 70 yards on and Park used skills learned at the Dave Pelz short game school to do the rest. They were able to carry this momentem for several holes giving themselves a lead that would be unable to squander.
Keith, Hobie, Bill and Rodney did play well enough to come in T4 in the Gross Division. They would have most likely contended for the title if not for two of their members having trouble getting to bed at a reasonable time Friday evening. Any guesses who those two may be?
