Elmwood CC plays tough, Peters/Coppinger find success at IGA Senior Four-Ball
The Senior Four-Ball was in full swing on a windy September day as it was contested at Elmwood Country Club in Marshalltown.
Despite the windy conditions Ben Peters/Chad Coppinger (above) played like it was a day for scoring. They are leading the pack at 64 (-6). Peters racked up four solo birdies on the day. Hot on their tails is a fierce four groups all tied at 68 (-2).
“We played well,” Peters said after the round. “It’s always fun when you play well.”
In the Super Senior Division Rob Chrisensen/Jim Madsen and Tom Norton/Dave Waugh shot a pair of 69s (-1) to lead. Sitting in solo third three shots back is Mark Hogenson/Kevin Backer.
A special moment for a father son duo as the pair embarks on another tournament together. Toledo residents Jim (92 years old) and Pat (65 years old) Roan (right) put on a show in round one. The two of them not only combine for an age of 157, but also shot a respectable 77 (+7) and sit in T9 in the Super Senior Division.
The final round will conclude today with tee times starting at 9 a.m.
