Zoo Keeper
Rick Persichetti won the 2006 Animal House Classic at Salem Hills on May 13th. The western division Commissioner shot 35-35 – 70 to win by 8-strokes. It was his 2nd AHC title in 3 years and his 3rd win on the Salem Hills course, having also won the 2003 Strokes on a Rope at SHGC. The win was worth $36 pushing his career winnings to within $3 of the $600 plateau.
Persichetti also won the 4-player putt-off for the $25 Carl’s Golfland giftcard. A 2-putt par on the 2nd hole was the difference in beating Bob Baar, Tom Moran, and Russ Butler in the 4-hole contest featuring the 4 lowest Zoo ratios from the tournament.
Jeff Kellstrom, Bob Baar, and Russ Butler tied for 2nd with net 78’s. Baar is the leading money winner in the western division ($50) with a win and a T2 in 2 starts this year.
