Hey folks. Michael Wallace sent a PDF version of the flyer so it will be easier to download and print. Thanks for your patience.
Kathy Manley resorts to beating up on the Intermediate boys due to the lack of a professional women's field! What a great way to warm up for the PDGA World Championships next week in Allentown, PA.

We had a full field max'd out at 135 this past weekend, with special thanks again going to all the ladies who showed up (12 in all) , for I was able to put 3 different divisions of women together under the Adv. Women catagory, and from what I heard, they got along splendidly, something the Men lack a great deal of. It was quite the SHOOTOUT in the Open between Nate Doss & Gregg Barsby. After Nate's ACE on #27 in the 1st round to post a 69 (-12) on the 8,131' , 27 hole course, followed by Barsby at -10, Josh Anton at -9, the second round leader group of Doss,Barsby, Anton, Paul Sanchez, Roger Cansler tore up the course with Doss & Barsby battling it out. At one point Barsby had BIRDIES between #2 through#13 (12 in a row) with Doss getting 14 out of 15 in the same stretch to score a 65 for both. Ben Fairly Aced #26 (236') in the 2nd rd. The next day with the course stretched out to a Whopping 10,324' (382 ave. per hole) and a couple of New pin positions installed that week, it was Jason Herm who proved to be the only one capable of shooting under par with a -1 out of the Whole field, while Napa Crush Dude Chris White shot the only par for the third and last round. Nate Doss was just 3 strokes better than Gregg to capture 1st place with Jason Herm finishing 14 strokes back for 3rd. place. Congrats. to Eric Drake & Barsby for the only 2 birds on the 470' hole #16. Now for the TWIST??? Remember the "King of the Lake" tourny I had a couple weeks ago, remember "The Barsby" (an award I made up this year after Gregg took 1st place in the Open for both the Tahoe Pro/Am & the King of the Lake last year. Note: Brian Lipe also did the same in the Adv. Master div. the same year, but I just thought the "Barsby" sounds better than the "Lipe", sorry Brian.) So this year if anybody did the Barsby I would DOUBLE their payout at the Pro/Am. I had 4 of the division winners return to the Pro/Am to try their luck at doubling their winnings. No such luck, although it was Lorien White in the Adv. Womens field who came the closest finishing just 7 strokes out for 3rd. So with no winner came the stipulation of a $200.00 bonus to the overall low score. Some of the boys that were in the hunt finished with Arjang Mirzadegan and Jeff Jones at a total of 432, Kevin Couch at 430, Brian Costa at 421, Dave Haning at 418, Ray Johnson & Roger Cansler at 408, Geoff Lissaman coming in at 2nd with a total of 405 and the WINNER is JASON HERM of Grass Valley with a grand total of 397, but wait a minute here, where's Barsby total, Oh Yeah, he wasn't shooting good enough at the "KING" to cash so he QUIT at the last hole ( must of heard the FAT LADY singing ), so he could maintain his players rating. Truth is, it wasn't over, she wasn't singing for there was still the Pro/Am to play. So to get to the punch line if Gregg Barsby had recorded his 177 at the "KING" and put that with his 219 at the Pro/Am OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WOULD HAVE WON THE BONUS WITH A COMBINED 396. Personally you can have my player rating just SHOW ME THE MONEY!! Yes the "BARSBY" will be in effect next year.
