The 26th annual Par-BQ was played Friday, August 9th at the Shoal Creek Golf Course, in Kansas City, Missouri.
We had 43 golfers: with 7 actives and 36 alumni. The afternoon weather was perfect for golf – in the high 80’s with light winds; albeit a bit humid.
Our 2019 Champions made 3 eagles and 10 birdies in route to a two stroke victory. The team of Brian Connel, Austin Rolf, Nick Maassen and Josh Balwanz finished at 16 under par (55).
We had three teams that finished at 14 under (57), with final results determined by score card playoff.
Finishing in second place was the team of Robert Paul, Tod Gordon, Brian Stewart and Craig Marshall. Their birdie on the #2 handicap hole (Hole #18) was the winner.
Finishing in third place was the team of Ryan Dold, Lenny Pittala, Rob Aschentrop and Bob Jerome.
Our fourth place team of John Roush, Mike Zimmerman, Mike Jenkins and his son (Logan) playing for last minute scratch (Wyatt Brummer) was our other team at 14 under. They parred the # 1 handicap hole (Hole #7) while the other two teams birdied it.
Other alumni scores:
Gary Stuetelberg, Gregg Garrison, Doug Strawn & Les Hinmon (12 Under);
J.J. Matousek, Patrick Casey, Alex Stephens & Mark Hereford (10 Under);
