Delaware Spring Results

Delaware Springs results are now available.

Because we adjusted our playing Tees yesterday, we also had to adjust the handicaps from the Black and Blue Tees Slope/Rating to the Blue and White Tees accordingly.  Fortunately, this had no impact on the final results posted at the course yesterday as handicaps across the board were lowed consistently for all players.

I will be looking at the Morris Williams greens within the next couple days to determine if we will stay there for the 2nd day of our 2 Player Team Championship or moving to Jimmy Clay.  We’ll be in touch.

DELAWARE SPRINGS TOURNAMENT RESULTS

 

What initially was looking like another “rainout”, actually turned out to be a very pleasant day of golf.  A few drizzles at the start and a Pro Shop stoppage due to lightening after about 6 holes of play were followed by excellent playing weather.  We thank you all for your persistence and commitment to getting our round in.

 

In addition to our Medal Play winners, Special KUDOS to the following…..

  • Chad Winkelmann with Individual Low Gross Round of the Day – 73
  • Tod Alderman with Individual Low Net Round of the day - 67
