On a somewhat warm and thankfully dry Saturday at Dogwood, Sue Jacobson outlasted Janet Skaar to win 3 and 2. Janet threw a birdie (on 13!) and a couple of excellent pars at Sue but she managed to dodge the bullet. As usual, it came down to the putting where Sue had the ever-so-slight advantage on this day.
The match's most memorable hole came early on the par 5 number 5. Both Janet and Sue were about 15 feet from the back hole position in 3! (Remember this is a 9 handicapper playing a 21 handicapper!?!) Sue was fortunate to make her putt first but Janet's putt broke a little more and it just barely missed going in for the birdie which would have won the hole for her! As it was, Janet tied Sue's birdie since she got a stroke on that hole. Yes ... Sue was holding her breath!?!
