Oak Creek Golf Course was in great shape and the weather was great for the 60+ golfers in the field. Early returns indicate all had a great time and challenge. The alternate shot can be an exciting challenge. Kudos for this round go to Team Cox, who edged ahead of Team Lightfoot for the 5 […]

Congrats to Dickie and Cal for leading the charge in establishing this great opportunity for University of Maryland Eastern Shore, PGA Golf Management degree program, and for the Pro Duffers. Read the complete story by clicking here UMES
a wonderful way to end our 2020 golf program with The President’s Pic 4. The Weather was great, and of course, the club’s camaraderie was outstanding @ Argyle Country Club. 50+ golfers, competing for their respective teams for this one last time.
CONGRATS to the RED SOCKS winner Joe Latta who was ON FIRE!! A gross 79 and net67. WHOA! 9 pars and one Bird.THAT’S THE JOE WE KNOW.
9 of the 18 Duffers shot net 79 or BETTER—-a strong field.
Bill Hall, a 4-1 favorite by Vegas odds, won the RED JACKET. As a result, first place money, nearly $1,400, was won by noted master odds maker Dr. D.W. Ace Blackwell, who had purchased the rights to Mr. Hall. Dr. Blackwell split the first-place prize money with Mr. Hall who had bought back a 50% stake in himself.
Second place, ($584), resulted in a three-way tie—owner Steve Hill (Larry Banks), owner Rob Day (Bill Lightfoot) and owner Gary Smith (Wayne Smith). Each of the owners will receive $194 and settle up with their golfer as appropriate under terms and conditions not made public.
The inaugural Calcutta far exceeded expectations with the number of entries ,22, and a record pot of nearly $2,000. A 90-minute Zoom call by 16 hopefuls produced non stop bidding and smack talking of epic proportions.
As predicted by Dr. Blackwell, one of the regulars in the MBI finished in the money, Bill Lightfoot. (hint: play the MBI). Also, two 4-1 golfers finished in the money and one won it all. (hint: trust Dr. Blackwell’s odds).
Calcutta participants demanded that a Calcutta be a part of the Red Jacket tournament going forward. Organizers had no comment ,however, it is almost certain that odds are in favor of it happening!
22 golfers qualified for the inaugural championship tournament at Manor Country Club. One golfer recorded a net (2) under par to win this years Red Jacket.
2018 Club Champion, William “Bill” Hall, is our New 2020 Club Champion, and has earned his second Red Jacket.
At Hampshire Greens Golf Course in Silver Spring, Maryland on September 26th, 2020 history was made. On a dreary day, with a low of 45°, Pro-Duffer championship hopefuls took to the fairways and took their swing for glory and bragging rights until the next season. This outing completed the third and final round of the 2-Man Team Competition, bringing the struggle to a resounding close. When we last left, Team Stewart’s dynasty chances were under fire and pressure from two other teams fast on their heels. One that even secured a temporary first place lead by 1 point. But maybe it really is true what they say: when you’ve been there before, it makes a difference.
The golden, glowing Team Cox that we saw last round was nowhere to be found out on Hampshire Greens. In round 3 they came in dead last with 1 point. Total. Only one duo under their banner broke 70 strokes – their consistent powerhouse Powell/Sanders weren’t enough to save them with a laudable 65 net score effort. It was just not enough.
Team Boone had a chance for another uptick in performance as well, having scored 4 points in the last round, but they returned to the standard they set in the first outing of the season. Team Smith had a good day, tying this round for first with Team Stewart, but there was too much ground to cover – they were out before the first tee left the box.
We asked the question, and Team Stewart answered in ice cold blood. Not one 2-Man team in the stable shot above a 75. They absolutely mowed the competition. And with less than stellar performances from the other two teams in the running, no one seemed to stand a chance.
After a request for comment captain Stewart wanted us all to know:
“It was a team effort that brought new & old roster members together, and we were willing to step up to the challenge.”
The Pro-Duffers 2-Man Team Championship season has come to an end. The chips and the dip go to Team Stewart, once again. And you can be sure, there’s only going to be one thing on every Pro-Duffer’s mind all of the off season.
3-peat?
Round 3 of the Final 2-man team results have been tallied. Congratulations to Team Stewart for successfully defending their 2019 win. In this hard-fought season, five teams competed in three very competitive rounds. Kudos to our newest Team Captains, Larry Smith and Reggie Boone, for putting together great teams and adding great drama to our competitions. Teams Cox and Boone tied for second-place honors.
