| Thirty-six (36) holes were not enough for Ken Kauffeldt, on
the left, and Gates Piquette to decide the 2008 Men's Club Championship.
Ken entered the final day of the two-day event a full five strokes behind
Gates, having fired an 80 to Piquette's 75 during the Saturday round.
Kauffeldt didn't quit and played steady golf on Sunday, picking away at
Gates' lead, until the 17 hole which Kauffeldt parred and Piquette bogied.
The two men tied the final hole, forcing a sudden death playoff on the
10th hole.
 On
the ladies' side, it was perennial winner Paulette Carrier dominating the
field right from the start. Paulette finished up with 87 on Saturday and
79 on Sunday for a two day total of 166.
Karen Croteau came in runner-up position with a two day total of 189.
The photo below shows Ken Kauffeldt putting in the winning stroke, a
bogie 5 on the 10th hole after Gates Piquette holed out with a
double-bogie six. The victory was Kauffeldt's second Club Championship. He
also won the title in 2005. His son, Jason, won the championship in 2006
before Peter Woitowich wrestled it from the Kauffeldt family in 2007.
Ken's win in 2008 brought the title home once again.
Both golfers finished up the two-day event with 30-hole scores of 154. |
