"What happens when you play the best round of golf you can possibly play, but still don't win? Do you become complacent and say 'maybe next time'? Or do you quit the
league and join another group? Or do you dig deeper and find another gear, a gear that only the most gifted can access? This league was built on the foundation of competition. While camaraderie and
love for the game can be found on the upper levels, competition is the core of this league.
This past weekend at Clear Creek, the competitive spirit was in full swing as ten players battled for the top spot. Last year, there was a three-way tie for first place with a score of three under
par. This year, it was once again a three-way tie, with Jeremy Williams, Mitch Moses, and Thatcher Gibbs all finishing at the top. Williams may have gotten the short end of the stick with his
impressive score of 68 and six birdies, as lower handicapped players tend to have an advantage. To level the playing field, we had a large skin pot worth $40 and a purse worth $50. While winning is
important, the skin pot is also highly coveted. Fortunately, our top players tend to have more birdies, giving them a better chance at the skin pot. However, even with your best effort, sometimes
it's just not enough. Other players may also have a fantastic round and steal your thunder. That's exactly what happened this weekend at Clear Creek, as Mitch Moses played exceptionally well,
improving his score by ten shots from the previous week's season opener at Pasadena. He stayed hot on the back nine, shooting a 38 without dropping a shot, to join Jeremy in the clubhouse at five
under par.
But the biggest turnaround from last week's opener was Thatcher Gibbs, who knocked off an impressive 15 shots this week. He needed a birdie on the final hole to secure the win, and that's exactly
what he did, becoming the 2024 Clear Creek Champion. Congratulations, Thatcher Gibbs, on a well-deserved victory."
