On August 21st, 2022, the Iowa Tristate chapter held an event Veenker in Ames Iowa. The day started out cool with a nice little breeze. The course was still a bit wet from a rain the night before, but overall, the conditions were nice. 35 players came to take on the challenge of ISU’s home course. Today’s prize payouts for the tournament were $790.00. In the side games we were able to payout a total of $1260.00. Here are your division winners:
Division 1 was a small field of 3 players. Brandon Estabrook took home the win with a total score of 75 for the day. Sam Goldstein came in second with a score of 81. With such a small field this division only paid out for first place.
Division 2 had a field of 10 players today with Darryl Johnson taking home the win. Johnson shot a score of 77 putting him 2 strokes ahead. Second place came down to a score card playoff between Allen Moore and Dale Morrison. Moore and Morrison both shot a 79, but Moore won the score card playoff over Morrison. This division paid out first and second place.

Second place for this division also came down to a score card play off between Paul Schmitz and Ryan Hohanshelt.

Division 4 also had a field of 9 players. Roger Bales took home first place shooting a 90. This gave Bales a one stroke lead over Terry Knake and Nick Miller. Knake and Miller both shot a 91 which led to another score card playoff. Knake won the score card play off awarding him the second-place win over Miller.
