Chardon Lakes
(Singles Event and Skins)

Sunday July 27, 2003

The Mulligan Tour somehow managed to dodge the severe weather in NE Ohio and finish their 7^th event of the year.  Chardon Lakes proved to be very difficult; the fast greens coupled with the light rain allowed only one player to finish under par.

Mike Thompson became our first two time winner on Tour this year.  Mike tied for first last week and won outright this week by shooting his second consecutive 78; which resulted in a net 1 under par.  Mike also had the drive of the day; with his massive bomb on the par 5 17^th.  This win vaulted Mike into first place overall for the year.

Gregg Roberts had been quiet on Tour ever since his near tree-aided ace at Cherokee Hills.  But Gregg came out and shot a net 71 and finished in a tie for second place.

Tied with Gregg Roberts in second was Deer Track champion Jeff Hillgoth.  Jeff also finished at net even and had the longest drive on the front nine.  Despite only playing in 3 events so far this year, Jeff jumped into 11^th place overall this week.

The skins game this week was just as valuable as the tournament itself.  Besides the short par 5 second hole, there were only 4 other birdies, all of which won skins.

Tour rookie Alan Keptner played in his first event this weekend and started off with a bang.  Alan birdied the first hole to capture the first skin of the day.

Fellow Dayton native Chuck Backus continues to have success in the skins game.  Chuck birdied the difficult par 4 third hole; which eased the pain of finishing in 30^th place.  The third hole was the second toughest hole on the entire course.

Former points leader Dave Wilson continued his assault on the par 3’s.  Dave birdied the par 3 eighth immediately after a long rain delay. 

Playing partner Ken Schley took the closest to the pin award on number 8, but went on to bogey the hole.  Ken rebounded to take the only skin on the back with a birdie on the par 5 12^th.   Ken went on to finish in his usual 4^th place!

The pin shot on the back nine went to our only international player, Darren Parkes.  Darren is from the UK and had his best finish of the year, capturing 7^th place.

For the year, two-time champion Mike Thompson has a slim lead over Ken Schley, who is proving to be the most consistent player on Tour.  Dave Wilson is holding on to 3^rd place while Brian Murch has dropped down to 4^th.  Joe Scuer returned this week and rounds out the Top 5.
