Al Solis, Water Can Classic Champion
It was a big weekend for Al Solis who captured his first BGA Championship on this rainy day. Al also joined the BGA eagle club when he holed his approach from the fairway up the hill on the tough par 4, hole 3 at
Laurel Hill Golf Course on Saturday.
It was a cool, cloudy and eventually rainy weekend for the 4th Annual BGA Water Can Classic. Modified Stableford scoring as follows, Par: 1 point, Birdie: 3 points, Eagle: 5 points, Bogey: 0, Double Bogey: -1 point, Triple Bogey: -2 points.
We arrived at Glenn Dale Golf Course Sunday morning for our scheduled third and final round but the course had taken on too much water from rain on and off over the last 5 days. With it still raining, but not heavy, we moved the round to Enterprise Golf
Course, only 10 minutes away. Rain finally stopped as the front nine was coming to an end. The course drained very well and was in good shape.
