Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
Two For One This Week: Brookside and North Kent
This week our two divisions both played. The regular division was at North Kent Golf Course and the reserve division was at Brookside Golf Course. Both divisions played a 2-person team aggregate. Looking at the scorecards from each course it is obvious that North Kent is the longer of the two courses. So, if distance means anything, North Kent should produce the higher scores. Is that the case here? Not if you look at the scores posted at each course. North Kent’s winning scores in most flights were lower than those at Brookside. The lowest team score at North Kent was 117 by Patrick Perez and Art Frazine on Wednesday. The lowest team score at Brookside was 125 by Douglas Rudd and Jay Mortenson also on Wednesday.
The results from Brookside and North Kent are now available for you to study.
