On the final night of the season with a carry-over skins pot on the line and a cash pot in play, a number of teams came out as big winners on Monday at Chippewa.

The team of Shane Bishop and Chris Durbin scored a pair of skins with birdies on holes four and five in the better ball format, good for $530.

The final night of the Chippewa Scratch League, the traditional “Cash & Steak Night”, will be played this Monday, October 5th at Chippewa GC. (A previously scheduled event at Rosemont nixes the finale there.) Monday at Chippewa will still feature a “jumble” format, but only for 9 holes at normal league time, with dinner to follow…

Monday’s “Steak & Cash Night” event at Rosemont Country Club for the Chippewa Scratch League has been postponed due to wet conditions on the course. The event is expected to be rescheduled for next Monday, but watch Northeast Ohio Golf for details.
