Fast greens and narrow fairways at St. Joseph Country Club made golf difficult for the StateLine players in today’s event. Other than the tough course conditions it was a beautiful day for golf.
Steve Groom dominated the field once again winning by five strokes after shooting a 1 over, 72. He only had two birdies on the day and struggled on the long, difficult Par 3’s.
Behind Steve in second was Ted Roberts with a 77 and in third was Ed Walsworth with a 78. This is Steve’s third victory on the StateLine Tour this year.
