Jacobson Outlasts Angstead

Post date: Jul 1, 2013 10:16:45 PM

On a delightful and unusually cool July 1st morning, Sue Jacobson and 2012 Match Play Champion Barb Angstead met in their second round match on the Country Club golf course. They were joined by Stephanie Kappel and her daughter Erica who played a family match of their own! There was nothing "cool" about the play in these matches though!?! Sue immediately birdied the first hole only to have Barb come back on the second to tie the match. It was back and forth with Barb sinking at least a 30 foot putt for a birdie on the par 3 fifth hole! (YES ... two club time!$!) Sue sunk a 20 foot putt on the par 5 seventh hole for a birdie to tie the match and never found herself down again. Barb sunk a chip from the front of the twelfth hole all the way to the back pin position for a birdie 4 ... but still found herself 1 down and unable to come back over the last holes. In the end, Sue shot a hard-to-beat 73 and won an exciting match 3 and 2. However ... yet another match ended with the loser taking home the (2 club) money!!!

For the record, daughter Erica beat mother Stephanie in their family match 2 and 1. On the seventeenth hole, Erica found herself 12 feet from an eagle after her drive and an iron shot! Somehow the ball went right over the edge of the cup and wound up behind the hole? Not bad for a young woman who doesn't get to play too often these days. Just keep that oil flowing, Erica! Thanks!!!
