The 3 Casa de Campo golf courses- the Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and Links -were the perfect circuit to celebrate the arrival of Spring with the 11th annual “Spring Shootout” from the 22nd to the 26th of April.
The fiercely competitive and super exciting “Casa de Campo Spring Shootout” golf tournament, which puts players on the spot by forcing the finalists to compete 1 on 1 to be crowned the overall champion, took place over 3 days, with the more than 100 Casa de Campo golfers divided into different “flights” for the men and the ladies.
[A “flight” is a term for a division of golfers within a golf tournament. Each “flight,” or division, consists of golfers of roughly similar skills (determined by handicaps).]
And so across the 3 day event, all competitors played 1 round on each of the 3 golf courses (3 rounds / 54 holes in total) and following the final round rather than the scores being tallied to announce the winners– the scores were tallied to determine the finalists –who then went head to head for the final SHOOTOUT!
The SHOOTOUT, being the most important part of the contest was then played out on Casa de Campo’s most famous golf course; the Teeth of the Dog. The finalists of the men’s gross division, the men’s net division, the ladies net division and the ladies gross division each played 4 holes, and as each hole was played, more and more of the finalists were eliminated (with growing anticipation and excitement) until on the 4th hole a winner from each group was declared. These final 4 then- with everyone watching and cheering them on -played the final SHOOTOUT on hole #9 and the overall men’s and ladies champions were proclaimed!
The Casa de Campo Spring Shootout winners were; Ray Perez and Judy Williams. While the runners-up were Jim Baldwin and Mary Sloan.
