Stay Safe...Stand in the Middle of a Fairway

The picture above is there for three reasons.  Firstly, we have some deer hanging around the golf course that seem pretty comfortable with carts and players.  Secondly, it was posted by Rock Bottom Golf which is really good follow on Twitter or Facebook.  It's an American golf supply store that posts lots of funny and random thoughts and images.  Finally, it epitomizes the typical golf game of many people. Often the safest place to stand if you are in front of most golfers is right up the middle of the fairway.

One person that has little trouble splitting the fairway is Robin Kimpinski.  He paired with the dummy card on Wednesday and won the only two skins.  He cashed in for $20 each on both holes 1 and 9.  This raised his season money leading total to $272.  This is $100 ahead of Scott Maynes in second and $180 in front of Charlie McNabb in third.

Robin is on pace to set the new single season prize money record.  For perspective, the season money winners since we started tracking them have included Stephen David ($262 in 2016), Jason Gorrell ($351 in 2015), and Scott Maynes ($283 in 2014, $234 in 2013).

There were only 21 golfers this past week. This has been an odd year with lower turnouts than usual, especially so far in July. 

Blake Hunter has a good evening. He was closest to the hole on #9 and converted the birdie to share the $38.50 deuce pot with Brad Benton and Brett Griffin.  Blake also birdied 1 and 2 to add three more negative numbers to his ringer board.

Closest to the hole on #5 was nobody. ..which doesn't happen very often.
