The final match of the Match Play Tournament winners bracket was played today at the Berksdale Golf Course. Laura Shaw and Barb Angstead played along with the final contestants of the consolation bracket, Elaine Twyman and Gayle Placial. Also in attendance were Linda Roberts and Stephanie Kappel as “the gallery”. Barb managed to take the 1st and 2nd holes but Laura came back with a magnificent shot on hole #3 resting 6” from the cup -- nearly the hole in one everyone has been waiting to hear about!! Barb conceded the birdie and paid the $1.00 to Laura for the 2 club! Laura followed up with a well-played par on #4 and the match was square. It continued that way for several more holes with Barb up 1 at the turn. Barb was able to chip in on 10 for her par to win the hole; up 2. Laura won 11 with a par and Barb took 12 with a really fast moving putt that found the bottom of the cup for birdie! Laura was a formidable opponent but Barb managed to take the match up 3 with 2 to play.
