The MountainView-Preserve Men’s Golf Association (MPMGA) Member-Member Match Play Tournament was held on Jan. 17, 20, and 27 at the MountainView and Preserve golf courses. Multiple flights of eight two-man teams were established based on each team’s combined course handicap, with purple tee players and green tee players placed in separate brackets. A team had to win three matches to win their flight.
If a team was defeated in their very first match, all was not lost. They were placed in a consolation bracket and could win their flight in that bracket by winning their next two matches.
Following are the winning teams from each flight:
Winners Bracket, Purple Tees:
Flight 1: Dan Sollin and Roger Gann
Flight 2: Doug Anderson and Larry Scott
Winners Bracket, Green Tees:
Flight 1: Dan Schroeder and Tom Fitzgerald
Flight 2: Joe Oczak and Harry Clausen
Flight 3: John Wrbanek and Greg Cahill
Consolation Bracket, Purple Tees:
Flight 1: David Hill and Randy Brier
Flight 2: Mark Gingerich and John Cahill
Consolation Bracket, Green Tees:
Flight 1: Bob Edelblut and Mike Bershaw
Flight 2: Terry Marchione and Gary Walker
Flight 3: Gordon Elliott and Jerry Hollingsworth
Congratulations to all the winners on facing down some tough competition to come out on top. Good job of “ham and egging.” And if you and your partner didn’t quite make it to the end, well, at least you’re still friends—right?
