Easter Weekend - Frisco Lakes Challenge
Early morning storms dumped an inch of rain on the golf course, but didn't wash out the scores at Frisco Lakes Challenge.
Scott R Chilcutt, Frisco, TX (March 30, 2013) The Golf Club at Frisco Lakes went through an ownership change just before the 2012 event and they were eager to have us back in 2013. While the early spring chills have the Bermuda still in the dormant state, the overnight rains helped soften the course allowing for more yardage accuracy over the previous days roll out during practice rounds. Cart path only and some sloppy conditions slowed down the pace, but the patient players took the course, the light breezes and partly warming day with enthusiasm. Over 25% of the field played to their handicap or better.
Mike Adcock of Saginaw, TX took home his first Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving, two strokes ahead of visiting Louisiana Tour player Douglas Key. Giant skins were won by two Palmer and one Hogan Flight players.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: Battling late 2012 injuries, Scott Blackshear of Hideaway, TX came off a twelfth place finish at the Classic
@ The Creek - Indian Creek Golf Club to pick up his second win on tour. Two birdies on the day was just enough to stay one stroke ahead of Wylie, TX member Dallas Webster. Webster left an eagle putt just short on the final hole for his best finish on tour since the 2012 Casper
Challenge @ Bear Creek where he finished T2. Two strokes back, the four players knotted up in the third place finish included, Marshall Morgan of Odessa, TX, Grapvine, TX resident Nick Quast, Tony Peppler of Dallas and Terry Rice from Midland, TX.

Joseph Roy of Rockwall, TX finished in the third spot for the second time this season, four strokes back.
Senior Sarazen Flight: Dallas member Rick Allaire played the back nine in one over par, but needed more holes to finish after Nicky Baugh of Alto, TX birdied his final two holes to force the third and final playoff.
