MONROE – There weren’t any extra water hazards at Green Meadows Golf Course.
While several area golf courses closed because they were saturated with water, Green Meadows was ready.
That was good news for the Huron League which played its first jamboree of the season there on Friday, April 17.
“It was soggy in a few areas, but Green Meadows drains really well,” said Flat Rock coach Marc Villemure. “They always do a great job out there.”
There was one another weather issue.
“Our biggest dilemma was fog,” Villemure said. “You couldn’t see more than 200 yards. We were worried we might lose a lot of golf balls.”
The event was delayed about an hour until the fog cleared.
Grosse Ile wound up winning the jamboree with a score of 306, 10 strokes better than Flat Rock and 12 clear of Airport.
“We played pretty well,” Villemure said. “We had some good scores up there.”
New Boston Huron was fourth with 327, St. Mary Catholic Central fifth with 342, Milan sixth with 349 and Jefferson eighth with 370.
Grosse Ile had the top two individual scores with Nicholas Joly-Naso (70) and Braden Chessor (76).
Airport’s Austin Tackett and the Flat Rock duo of Ben Scully and Colin Gilleran tied for third at 77.
New Boston Huron’s Ryan Biller was next with 80, then Owen Klein and Joel Scully of Flat Rock, Isaac Williamson of Huron, Evan Mullins and Samuel Mitocariu of Airport and SMCC’s Cade Wasner all checked in at 81.
Sam Jenness and Brody Cicotte of Milan and Jefferson’s Ben Peer led their teams with 83.
