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.

MVP

MVP for 2015 Dos Equis XX Cup Challenge……who was that valuable and interesting man??

Was it Jim Frenette of the RED Team that contributed 2 ½ wins for his team, and had 2 closest to the pin captures for winnings totaling $95 ??

Was it Chuck Petrilla of the BLACK Team that had 3 ½ points (basically did not lose) and posted winnings of $80 ??

No….it was RED Team Brett Coffman as our MVP of the Cup Challenge. Though he had no dollars from closest to pin, it is hard to dispute that he went 4-0 in matches, posting $90 in winnings, but more importantly in match play…he didn’t lose a match
!!

Congratulations to Brett Coffman !!
