It took perennial favorite Mark Foss of Mayfield Heights 15 weeks to finally get a skin in the 2009 Greater Cleveland Skins game — and he broke through in a big way with an eagle on a par four.

Foss eagled the par-4 18th hole at Powderhorn Golf Course Thursday with a driver and 12-foot putt, taking home a $160 skin. Foss also bagged the pin shot on the 14th hole for another $49.   [Read more →]

The skin increased Armour’s lead on the season-long money list, while Skorman’s win moved him into second place just $300 behind; updated here.

An all-day rain did not stop the Greater Cleveland Skins Game players from an enjoyable night at Madison Country Club. At 5 p.m., the skies cleared and the competition began.

Rob Shustrich of Wyndham captured the only skin of the night on the par-4 second hole, worth $207. Only two holes were birdied on the course, and nobody could birdie the pair of relatively easy par fives.

Dave Sotka captured the pin shot on the 4th hole, and Sam Corabi staked a shot at the tough 215 yard ninth hole but missed the putt. The pin shots were worth $31.50 each.

Mike Angie still holds the top spot on the leaderboard of the Greater Cleveland Skins game after Week 14.

Next week Thursday, the skins game travels to Powderhorn GC in Madison at 5 pm; the course is in great shape and players can enjoy the special $13 riding and $6 walking green fee rate!
