The 2021 Match Play Tournaments continue to move along nicely this year. Some great matches going on out there with many going into extra holes. Either the handicap system/committee is doing a great job with handicaps or everyone seems to be able to sandbag to the same extent. And if you are missing out on the excitement of Match Play, just sit at the bar in the Grove and you can hear the full play by play of most matches from both the winner’s and the loser’s perspective. Either way, the $20 entry is worth every dollar for the great competition and adrenaline rush.
Looks like most brackets are doing very well in hitting their deadlines. We are actually 74% of the way through the 296 scheduled matches while we are less than half-way through the year. Great job in getting those matches completed. Matches are expected to slow down a bit due to the summer so nice to be a bit ahead of the game. Gross 4 Ball match participants should get their matches scheduled as they are the only bracket that looks to be close to falling behind. And you know how difficult it is to get four players scheduled for a match at the same time.
