Management settles labor unrest
T eam Management kept the President’s Cup trophy with a 5 ½ to 3 ½ win over Team Labor on Sunday at St.John’s Golf & Conference Center. In the closest matches yet in the 3 year old event, eight of the nine matches used all 9 holes. With President Erik Meland’s troops leading 3 ½ to 2 ½ after the best ball and alternate shot matches, Tom & Barb Hoelzle beat Klaus Juska and Charlie Roy 2&1 in the scrambles – the only match not to reach the 9th hole. The President himself made the Cup clinching putt on the scramble’s 9th hole after partner Jeff Klipa popped a “Mickelsonesque” lob wedge from behind a pine tree. Meland / Klipa won the hole to halve the match with Ron Hiestand / Joe Brandenburg securing the 5th point. Greg Kline, 1-0-2 in the matches, halved the final match with partner Tim Jakubowski (1-0-1) to provide the final score.
Bill Gordon was 1-1-0 in his 2 matches as he and Jakubowski played for the first time for Team Management.
