2020 IGA Yearbook

EVENT #2 The second event this year in the IGA Women’s Mid- Am Series took place at Edmundson Golf Course in Oskaloosa and was a modified alternate shot format. In this format both players tee off on each hole, they choose the best of the two, and then alternate from there. Rose Kubesheski and Margene Grady paired up to shoot 69 (-1) and claim the title. The duo carded a front-9 36 that featured eight pars and just a single bogey. As they made the turn, Kubesheski and Grady started to find a groove, which featured back-to-back birdies on holes 12 and 13. After making two bogies, the pair went on to finish their final three holes in two-under par to claim a seven-stroke victory over Nancy Lorenzini and Laura Leszczynski. In the Net Division, Nicki Clayton and Julie Hartman took home the title after a round of two-over 72. They beat out Janece Schwartzkopf and Kathy Fortune, who also shot 72, in a scorecard playoff.
