Mark Rebhan Wins 26th GFS Memorial Classic
Mark Rebhan's boss threatened him with his job if he didn't return the GFS Memorial Golf Classic low actual trophy back to his office, "where it belongs." Not only did he do that, but added the tournament's overall title to his trophy case as well. Mark's 81/65.8 was well enough to snag both prizes at Marsh Ridge in 2011.
Tim Keenan's 94/68.4 was good for second place in the 26th annual version of the choir golf tournament. Mike Ufford finished third with his 107/69.6 showing. The champion carded the fewest putts, Tim was closest to the pin and Dave Grabowski launched the longest drive. Dave also notched only the second eagle in GFS history by chipping in his third shot on the par 5 18th.
Tall Tom Chlipala wrestled the John D'Aoust Memorial Trophy for the highest actual away from last year's "winner" Mike Ufford with a 129.
As usual, the dining was exquisite during the event with Jewish fare on Thursday, wild game on Friday and the standard meat, potatos and wedge (punch) salad on Saturday.
All eyes are looking west for the 2012 GFS Memorial Golf Classic intends to return again to the shores of Lake Michigan for the 27th renewal of the great weekend.
