North Dakota Golf Association State 4-Ball Championship Blows into Minot Country Club
Teddy Roosevelt said, "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
To test oneself on a golf course in adverse conditions and enter the arena of competition against the full might of Zephyrus’s
(god of the west wind) mighty lungs is a feat only the competitors at Minot Country Club can describe. Sustained winds
of 36 mph with gusts to 50+ were the consistent conditions for a rain delayed start at Minot CC. The 3 pm shotgun was
met with groans and some dismay as players realized they would be heading to the course under tempestuous conditions.
The beauty and grace of an accomplished golfer was reduced to a huddled lash to avoid falling to the ground after
the ball was struck. These were the sights from the lofty perch of the Elevation restaurant located at Minot Country
Club. Yet, with all of these impediments the field finished the round and scores revealed the difficulty
encountered through the peril. One bright star team was Bryce Bohl and Brady Bohl who shot a 5-under round
of 67 in the Open Division.
The second day of the the 2-day Best Ball Championship was much nicer and scores reflected the change in weather.
Spencer Hilde and Cody Reynolds blazed a trail to victory by scoring a best day 2 score of 64.
The magic in the wind eluded Bohl and Bohl on the second day as they settled for the Net Division
Championship. The Senior Division saw a playoff between Rugby natives, Randy Westby and Keith Duchscher
against Paul Schable and Craig Bihrle currently of Bismarck. It was Duchscher’s eagle on the second hole
of the playoff that won Westby and Duchscher the title. The Mid-Am Division also had a playoff for the
Net Championship that saw Jamie and Josh Ressler fall to Shane Hannegrefs and Paul Ralston from Minot.
