Jeff Jenkins has checked into the Barberton Hospital with a blood infection and has canceled the Championship Golf Association’s Skins Game slated for Sunday at Greyhawk. Northeast Ohio Golf will post details regarding future CGA events as they become available.

Update 4/24/09 – Jeff Jenkins will be released from the hospital on Saturday and should make a full recovery. He and his wife thank all for the well-wishes they received.

Fred Miller of Aurora overcame a double-bogey 7 at the par-5 eighth hole, followed that up with a birdie at the ninth (good for a skin), then posted a 1-under par back nine to win the Championship Golf Association’s stroke play event at the Legacy at Sweetbriar on Sunday. The victory is Miller’s second of the season, as he won the stroke play event at Gleneagles in Twinsburg as well.

Miller shot a 1-over par total of 73 to win by a single shot over Brian Smith of Amherst. Complete results below.

The next event on the CGA schedule is the “Big Skins Blowout” at The Fairways of North Canton on Sunday, September 14th. To enter this skins-only event, visit the CGA website or call 216-556-0219.

Allen Freeman of Brecksville and Ryan Stefanski of Macedonia ran out a front nine score of 30 and an eventual 10-under par total to win the 2008 Championship Golf Association 2-Man Scramble at Turkeyfoot Golf Links in Akron.

Stefanski and Freeman’s round of 61 was good for a two-shot victory over the team of Randy Skorman and Dean Cutlip, who posted an 8-under par 63 despite not making a birdie on any of the par fives.

Three teams tied for third at 7-under par 64: Mike Kracker/Jeff Mallette, Shane Ash/Willie DeTemple, and Russ Rybka/Drew Thompson.

Skins were won by the teams of Diebold/Canter with an eagle on the par-4 5th hole, and by Rybka/Thompson with a chip-in eagle at the par-4 12th.

Kudos to Charlie Mozingo and the rest of the staff at Turkeyfoot, as the golf course conditions were perfect and the setup fair. The weather was great as well, leading to a 32 team field and a great event.

Next, the CGA expects another big field at the always well-attended individual stroke play event at Eagle Creek GC in Norwalk, to be held next Sunday, May 18th. To register, visit the CGA Website or call 216-556-0219.
