2nd SMGA Double-Elimination Putting Contest (11-4-2022)

On Friday afternoon 32 players competed in our 2nd double-elimination, match-play putting contest on the Seville practice putting green. There were nine holes set up on the winner’s bracket side of the green and five holes on the loser’s bracket side of the green. The weather was beautiful, and the competition was stiff.


Congratulations to the 1st place winner Rob Spears, and the 2nd place winner John McAvay. Rob won his first two matches before getting beaten in round 3 by Paul Schiefelbein. Rob then proceeded to win his way back through the loser’s bracket, beating Schiefelbein in the loser’s bracket final, and then beating John McAvay twice (the winner of the winner’s bracket) for the championship title.

1st Place Rob Spears $450
2nd Place John McAvay $225
3rd Place Paul Schiefelbein $135
4th Place Sean Stecker $90
