In what can at least be termed a small surprise, Brad McAreavy elevated his game in club championship qualifying this past weekend. After opening with an 81 on the West course Brad came back with solid 77 on the East and158 total (Brad gets extra credit for being the only person to come out of the pack and make the championship bracket). That was good enough to earn a spot in a 4 for 1 playoff for the 16th seed.
The prize? A date to play seven-time and current defending club champ Carter Lucas next weekend.
Brad made a smooth par on the 1st hole to defeat Kieth Knight, John Post and Dave Pelusio and earn his first trip to the championship flight. Just remember, Brad, once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away Mark Collier took down Mark Dugan in an opening round match. You to can earn an automatic spot on the Harmon Cup team with a victory over Carter.

Brad will be joined by fellow crew members Dave Fries (78,75 - 151) John Schantz (78,76 - 154)and Jim Mason (79,77 - 156). Dave was co-medalist (but lost the title in a playoff to Matt Weins).
With the new West course blue tees scores were expected to be higher this year so it was somewhat surprising to see a 158 total playoff when 160 or higher played-off the past few years.
Thanks to Dave Fries for reminding me on the range that no one on the range had ever shot a better score than me on the East course.
