The Beast of the East - Long Live King David!

It was a warm 38 degrees at tee time and the decision was made to "go East".

Reigning club champion Dave Fries blistered the course for birdies on #'s 6, 7 (played as a par 5 from the black tees), 14 16, 17 & 18. His birdie on #18 was good for a seven hole field win. Dave also partnered with Captain Brad McAreavy to win a six hole carryover on #9.

Brad was the master of the par 3's on the front, hitting to within 12 feet on #3 & 6. However, he could not convert the birdies.

Jim Mason put up a strong effort on the back nine capturing the greenies on #11 &15 with solid shots and making birdie on #12,16 &17 with near misses on #11 &15.

It was cool and the course was soft so what tees did we play from? Mostly back, of course! #3,6,7,9,10,11 & 17 were played from black/blue tees. The 18th was played from the blue tee, #5 &13 were played from the red tees and #4 was played from the old tee left of the third green.

Given the cool weather, course conditions and tee positions Dave showed why he is a worthy club champ and the captain and crew "Beast of the East".
