Mike Armour has put together an impromptu $50 skins game at Lake Forest Country Club in Hudson this Sunday, November 22nd beginning with a 10 a.m. “semi-shotgun” (multiple hole start).

Greens fees will be just $25, which is a great deal for LFCC. The open field event will be limited to the first 40+ players who call Mike at 330-472-3813.

The weather forecast for Sunday is sunny and 53 degrees, so jump to it…

It’s the stuff you need to think about and work on this winter if you want to be a better player — and it’s completely FREE. (My favorite price!)

Host pro Jacob Scott played solid tee-to-green while amateur partner Derek “D2″ Duda provided some critical lag putting to earn themselves a one shot victory in the inaugural Pine Hills Extreme 2-Man Scramble Sunday.

With the hole locations set on severe slopes and tucked into tiny corners, the day was as much about making pars as converting birdies. Scott and Duda overcame a double-bogey seven on the par-5 fifth hole by making birdies on holes 7-8-9 followed by an eagle on the par-5 10th. They birdied the 13th and then parred out from there to grab the first place prize of $1200, winning by a single shot over the teams of Bob Sylvester & Chris Zidek and Mike Armour & Dave Trier.

FIELD SHOT: The team of Denny Krysh and Mike Watkins holed out from the fairway on the first hole for eagle to earn one of four skins made on the day.
