MAGNOLIA CUP STATRACKER – SEASON 2 – OPENING ROUND

by Cheryl Furman

Joy Harsen starts out with a bang.  She scored the first ever Bunker Hole Out since we started StaTracker last year.  Plus she had 8 pars, a birdie, a poley and a chip in, she tops out the list with 91 points.

Not to be diminished, Sue Layton scored an eagle on Hole # 2.  With 6 pars, a poley and a chip in, she ends up in 2nd with 77 points to start the season.

Other notables for this first round include Nancy Robinson getting the only Sandy. 

Penny Sullivan also had a chip in, plus she had a Dodge Sweep scoring on all 6 qualifying holes.

Barb Walsh also had Dodge Sweep.

Jackie Hice topped out the Birdie list with 3.  Not too shabby.

And Putting Pelligrini scored the most poleys.  FOUR!

Tee off from 200 on all but par

Everybody got at least one par today, maybe because of the shortened game, but I say get your luck when you can.

Closest to the Pin:

Hole#3 — Cindy Pellegrini

Hole #6 --  Stephanie Eldreth

Hole #9 — Kathy Fuller

Hole #11 — Nancy Zetelski

Hole #17 — Dawn Ritter

First Place Team was:  Hice, Pellegrini, Robinson and Fuller

Second Place went to:  Eldreth, Furman, Zetelski and Walsh

StaTracker Central will try and do a better job noting the notable holes.
