***Director's (David Kennedy) observations . . .
Country Meadows women came into the competition today in second place to Mt. Hope by 1 point.
Using their home course advantage, they outscored their Mt. Hope competitors by 10 1/2 points winning all 3 flights.
The same three Country Meadows women (Carla Smith, Cindy Pringle & Nancy Bohman) participated at each site this year giving that course a great advantage.
The Country Meadows women were the defending champs and retained their championship status again this year.
Oakland Beach men came into the competition today in second place to Mt. Hope by 3 1/2 points.
They outscored their Mt. Hope competitors by 8 points earning second and first places in Flights A & B.
In both mens' and women's play, the island green 17th hole was much of the time a deciding factor in good scoring.

THE FINAL ROUND OF THE 2011 CRAWFORD CUP GOLF COMPETITION WILL BE
PLAYED AT THE COUNTRY MEADOWS GOLF COURSE ON SUNDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER.
David Kennedy, director's comments -
Not in recent memory has there been such close standings going into
the final round of the competition. Mt. Hope now maintains a 3
1/2 point lead in the mens division but only a slim 1 point lead in
the womens division with 3 teams within 6 points. Many local golf
fans will no doubt be talking about and looking forward to the final
round at Country Meadows.
The Mt. Hope course was in ideal playing condition proven by both
men and women scoring in the 70's with Chad DuPont's under par
effort.

David Kennedy (Crawford Cup director) comments:
The warm weather seemed to affect several players.
The Venango Valley course conditions were optimal for good scorings
especially proven by Jack Hobson's under par performance.
Its been several years that one course has taken a lead in both
divisions after only 3 rounds of 5. Mt. Hope has done that by solid
play by the same players for the rounds played so far this year.
Crawford Cup participants continue to appreciate the opportunity to
complete in this format with playing the ball down for all golfers &
men hitting from blue tees.
Round 4 of 5 will be played on Sunday, August 7 at Mt. Hope. Round
5 will be played on September 18 at Country Meadows. Tee times are
to be announced.

>If necessary, a club professional may play as a competitor. This person must compete as an “A” flight competitor.
>If all male &/or female competitors have not completed 9 holes upon cancellation due to inclement weather, no points will be awarded. If all male &/or male competitors have completed 9 holes, points will be awarded on the basis of a 9 hole score. Each course’s Director of Golf will decide when to cancel play on a temporary or permanent basis.
