2023 SPAM

Jim Frenette Wins the 2023 SPAM!

Two time BGA SPAM Champion Jim Frenette and 2023 SPAM Host, Bob Hoff. Two time SPAM Champion Jim Frenette wearing the SPAM suit being congratulated by tournament host, Bob Hoff.

This is the 21st SPAM in 29 year history of The BGA.

The format is skins within your foursome worth a single point except for the final round. On the final round, skins are worth 2 points each on holes 7-12 and 3 points each on holes 13-18. Any remaining skins are divided after each round. For example, if there are three skins left after the round, each player in that foursome would receive 0.75 skins.

Sunny, a slight breeze and temps in the mid 70’s that felt like 80’s with the humidity when the first of three foursomes teed off at 9:15 am.
