Adam cracks Bigwood golfing record

At Blaine County Closed

---

Dave Adam installed his name in the Bigwood Golf Course record book Sunday, firing an 18-hole round of 67 to set a new Bigwood course record for a competitive round.

Actually, Adam broke the long-standing Bigwood record of 71 twice during the two-day, 36-hole Blaine County Closed tournament. He shot 70-67 for 137-137 to win the men’s club championship by 17 strokes.

Finishing second gross in the 0-9 handicap Men’s A Flight due to a card playoff was Cade Bowen (79-75 for 154-150). He nipped Sun Valley GC club champion Walter Littenberg (77-77 for 154-150). First net was Brian Saksa (74-72 for 146-138).

Top woman in the 22nd annual tournament for 37 players was 14-21 Women’s A Flight winner Janet Cantor (85-92 for 177-149). The weather was absolutely ideal, and owner Dave Sellgren’s hospitality also earned a honorary birdie.

Long drive winners were Jamie Hjort and Janet Cantor. Proximity winners: Mike Pirzynski and Joanne Wetherell.

Tournament organizers thanked River Run Auto Parts, Wells Fargo Bank, Sun Valley Brewing, Uhrig Fencing, Pepsi Cola and Grumpy’s for support and added money.
