Troy Kirchner helped to create and design the layout for the new par-3 "Fun Event" tournament at the Roscoe Twin Village Golf Course
Ralph Kircher helped implement the disign and concept for the new par 3 tournament at the Roscoe Twin Village Golf Club.
The first hole in the redesigned par 3 Roscoe Twin Village Golf Course "Fun Event" August 7 was this 105-yard shot through the trees and over a pond from the end of the pond on hole No. 1 to the ninth green.
Jean Knickerbocker, left, and son Thomas Knickerbocker, scored the winning score of 51 in the August 7th 18-hole par-3 golf "Fun Event" at the Roscoe Twin Village Golf Club.
NEW GOLF TOURNEY IS BORN
Redesigning an existing 9 hole golf course into an 18-hole par 3 course where wedge shots, nine irons and accurate putting led to success resulted in drawing 40 golfers to a fun filled different type of golf tournament August 7 at the Roscoe Twin Village Golf Course (TVGC).
Behind everything that becomes a success are brilliant minds and the two golfers who drew up and developed the idea for this type of golf tournament included retired Roscoe automobile dealer Ralph Kirchner and his grandson former TVGC manager Troy Kirchner.
Designed as a fund raiser for improvements at the 9-hole TVGC Ralph Kirchner drew up and distributed some fliers which advertised a low entry fee of $18 per golfer plus a cart fee and cash prizes for the winners.
The tournament was to have featured a putting contest on the 9th green, a bunker contest from the back 9th green trap to the 9th green and a longest drive contest on hole No. 1 but heavy rains at the conclusion of the tournament prevented these events from taking place.
Ten foursomes was the limit for this event and 40 golfers competed in events like using tennis balls instead of golf balls on hole No. 4 from the ladles tee to the regular green and if any golfer thinks this would be easy then take a tennis ball and see how far you can drive it down the fairway with your driver. We witnessed good golfers scoring a 5 on this 120-yard hole......putting with a tennis ball worked a lot easier then trying to drive the ball off a tee with a driver.
Taking a tee shot from a sand bunker to the 5th green some 35-yards away was another challenge in this tournament designed as a "fun event" by Kirchner.
Right handed golfers teeing off with a left handed club and left handed golfers teeing off with a right handed club on the 8th hole saw a number of miffed shots and throw in a bonus with one of the most picturesque par 3's featuring a tee box at the end of the pond on hole number one with golfers having to thread a tee shot through a narrow opening between four trees and over a pond to the ninth green some 105 yards away.
Key and interesting placement of the tees throughout this 9-hole golf course proved to make all golf shots interesting and somewhat challenging for the two-person teams using the best ball format.
The low score of 51 was recorded by Jean Knickerbocker and her son Thomas Knickerbocker followed by two 53's by Donald Winters and Charlie Winters and Tom Trask and Barbara Trask.
Following the tournament food and drinks were enjoyed by all in the clubhouse as heavy rains pelted the golf course.
