Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
Can’t We Catch a Break?
The weather this year, at least on Wednesdays, has not been kind. This week at North Kent we had our second Wednesday of play canceled this season. Between cold temperatures, flooding and rain our 2022 season is not off to a “smooth” start. But just wait, summer is coming!
Let’s just talk about this week—Thursday that is. With around 25 golfers that had been scheduled to play on Wednesday deciding to come back and play on Thursday we had a total of 105 golfers. What we have noticed over the years in team aggregate tournaments is that the difference between first and second place in most flights is often by several strokes. This week first place in flight “A” was six strokes better than second place. The margin in flight “B” was three strokes and the margin in flight “C” was nine strokes. Just to be different, flight “D” saw first and second only one stroke apart. In fact, in that flight third place was only one stroke further back. Where did you finish? Find out as the results from North Kent are now available.
