Victoria Open 2010 was a great Success!

FROM MIKE SMITH TD: Mike Olse comes back not only to win open by four strokes but to take all of the $500 skins money... Jay Reading, who played with a broken toe and just stood at the end of the box and threw, won masters, but Ken Shepherd played very well to get second. Jay was also only a couple of strokes off the the third open playoff skins spot!!! Going to skins was Olse, Brad williams and Matt Hall. Winning advanced and posting the best amateur score was Jim Kelly, who beat a very tough field... The last particpant in the skins, which was the very first prize in the raffle was thrid coast very own, Able Castanada!!! Mike won $250 on the fourth playoff hole, regular 6. Able and Jim represented well throughout the match. On the 9th playoff hole, Olse and Able were the only ones with the push score, a 3 on regular 14. Overtime went for the two to hole 17 and pushed..Hole 18 long was next and Mike got an easy 3, but Able hit a tree on his drive and got a 4, so Mike got the last $250!!! We saw lots of impressive shots by each participant and all three pros were ripping some serious plastic. Des wins womens and Emily L, places 2nd...Neal Dambra squeeked out over Jerry Perez...Jim Kelly wins Adv, Seth Johnson 4th. Locals Ryan Despain and Wallace hall are near the top. Neal Martinez did very well... Danielle Piper wins adv women, not sure on the rest....scores are coming soon...Ron Engebretson wins Adv Master.. there were four aces over the weekend, two from each pool, each receiving live $175 each!!! Basket on the temporary course was stolen on saturday durning lunch, what we were using as hole 18, that belonged to Local, ron Engebretson... during the skins match we announced that Toby from Lonestar Lumber had an extra Innova Sport basket , new that he had brought in case we needed it for the course, we agreed on a very good price and ...well, within 5 minutes of working the crowd, Joel Santrock came to me and said we already have enough, and then some. So Ron went home with a basket and we even had an extra 40 or so to throw into raffle money which by the way we are using raffle money and silent auction money to be used as follows: $380-TEXAS WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP- $200 towards added cash for pro divisions and $180 to go towards girly station and entry fees for club players. $380- EDGE program! $380-Riverside Disc Golf (which they turned around and gave thrid coast back $200 because they felt we deserved it) Great turnout, but next year will be better!!! A tier baby!!!
