The 2017 Spring Medal

The Spring Medal Championship is one of the most demanding tournaments of the year. Players compete over 36 holes of stroke play in this 2-week event to claim victory. While the field is flighted, the champion can come from any flight to win the top prize. This year Pete Papas earned top honors turning in a 2-round net 134. Well done Pete! Other scores of note include Mike Coyle 139, Sang Jin, Jim Geesman and Michael Blas each finishing with a net 140 and Jeff Stanga came in with a 143.
