This past weekend we held our Twenty Seventh Annual Harwood Plumbing & Heating Two Man Scramble Tournament at Highview Golf Course!
Our annual two-day event attracted a full field of 220 competitors this year! The teams experienced some great weather all weekend long; except for a small bit of rain during the Saturday afternoon qualifying rounds. Overall the men played with amazing greens, some tough but exciting pin placements, and excellent course conditions which produced some solid scores from the players throughout the weekend!
We had Practice Round tee times all-day Friday, Qualifying Rounds on Saturday from 7:30-9:40 & 1:00-3:10, and Final Round Shotguns at 8:30am & 1:45pm on Sunday.
As always, it was quite the exciting weekend for everyone at Highview once again this year!
The 2024 Two Man Scramble Champions are our first new winners since 2019!
Len Gushe & Misha Belter posted two fantastic scores over the weekend to take home their first Harwood Two Man title!
The pair shot a very respectable Saturday round of Minus-6, 64, which put them in 5th place and a few strokes back going into the Final Round. Chasing a few teams that shot 61 & 62, Len & Misha had some ground to make up going into the last round.
With some nicer weather expected, as well as trickier tees and hole placements on Sunday. It was up in the air who would finish on top after the Final Shotgun Round.
Shooting from the Blue Tees - Gushe & Belter posted an unreal Minus-7, 63 to finish atop the leaderboard! The duo bested four other pairs that finished with a two-day score of 131.
With their 64/63, Gushe & Belter finished with a 127 to win by 4 strokes!
Congratulations to our 2024 Champions ~ Len and Misha!
