HOUSTON GOLF LEAGUE

CARL HOLZAPFEL

NOT ON MY WATCH

Almost a year ago, on June 11th, Gabe Ramos found himself on the cusp of entering the Hall of Fame, just nine holes away from achieving his dream. However, as we all know, anything can happen in golf, and unfortunately for Gabe, his back nine turned into a nightmare. Fast forward to last weekend, where Ramos was leading the tournament with just six holes to play, holding a commanding 7-shot lead over the field. As a long-time supporter of the league since its inception in 2012, it seemed fitting for Gabe to secure his spot among the league's great players.

In a dramatic turn of events, Carl Holzapfel, the eventual 2024 Masters champion, was paired with Gabe and mounted an impressive comeback on the back nine. Despite Gabe's three-putt on the 16th hole, his 7-shot lead dwindled to just 2 shots with 2 holes remaining. The tension continued to build as both players struggled on the challenging 17th hole, heading into the final hole with Gabe holding a slim lead.

Unfortunately, Gabe's tee shot on the 18th found the rough, and his subsequent shot landed in the water hazard. Meanwhile, Carl managed to secure a par, putting the pressure on Gabe to make a crucial putt to save a bogey and secure his Hall of Fame entry. With all eyes on him, Gabe's putt seemed destined for success, only to cruelly lip out at the last moment, resulting in a tie and leading to a playoff decided by a scorecard, which Carl ultimately won with a birdie.

While Gabe played well throughout the tournament, it was Carl's exceptional performance on the back nine that paved the way for his victory and journey towards the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to Carl on his remarkable win, and commiserations to Gabe for coming so close to achieving his dream
