Rich Dunmore Takes Playoff
Rich Dunmore took his 3rd Fifty Cent Title on Saturday. Rich jump started his round with an Albatross on the 3rd hole and took control with a front nine 32. But Old Tom Litzler eagled the 15th hole to catch Dunmore and send the event to a playoff. In the playoff, on a tough Stony Creek green, Dunmore held par thru the 4 holes while Litzler was not able to recover from leaving a putt millimeters short on the 2nd hole. Tim Markel, Eric Kiekbusch and Tournament Co-Sponsor Barb Hoelzle tied for 3rd. On course prizes went to Co-Sponsor Tom Hoelzle and Kiekbusch, who got as close to the pin as you can get on #7 with a hole-in-one! Notables: Litzler led the field with 28 putts and 11 fairways and moved to 5th in all-time Fifty Cent winnings. Helen Puffenberger led with 11 greens and hit 10 fairways and finished in the money to keep our 4th place in all-time FC winnings. Rich notched his 17th Tour Win, 3rd by playoff, in his 323rd start. He passed Joe Brandenburg for 1st in all-time Fifty Cent winnings and, interestingly, trails Willi Hesse in the 2023 East Division money standings by….50 cents.
Erik Kiekbusch Gets an ACE!
Erik Kiekbusch used a 6 iron on the 164 yard #7 to record is first lifetime Ace and the 2nd of this season on Tour. The cheers were heard across the course.
For the first time, The Mulligan Tour, thru the efforts of Co-Sponsor and former OU player Barb Hoelzle, sponsored the Oakland University Women’s Golf Program with the Fifty Cent Fundraiser. A good first effort of $1400 was raised.
