Slaminko
Excavates Field at Meadow Park
Ron Slaminko won the 2001 TBI Club Championship with a sizzling net
66 at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma on August 11th.
Shawn Tovey captured Low Gross honors with an 86 and was
the only golfer to break 90.
Meadow Park, site of
last year's championship where nobody broke par, played tough again
this year, as hot weather hardened the greens, and the course
yielded only 24 pars and two birdies to the field of golfers. The
sandal-clad Slaminko used an iron off the tee on all but one hole,
and the strategy paid off as he avoided big numbers and dug out a 3
stroke victory.
Shawn, taking
advantage of several fortuitious bounces off trees, shot a front
nine 39, closing the nine with four consecutive pars. Playing
partner Chris Tovey birdied the 10th and closed to within
three shots on the 15th hole, but was unable to overtake
his brother down the stretch.
Mike Tovey shot a
front nine 42 that featured several key putts, but was victimized by
a mysterious lost ball on the tenth hole that seemingly vanished
from the left edge of the fairway.
Carvin Wilson won
Closest to the pin on the 8th hole, nailing a 17 foot
birdie putt in the process. Bert Dewell won KP on #17. Chris Tovey
won the prize for long drive on the narrow 9th hole.
Congratulations to
Ron Slaminko and Shawn Tovey, TBI Club Champions for 2001.
