Tag: Oceana Best Ball—Joe Foster Open

Congratulations to our 2020 47th Annual Joe Foster Open (Oceana Best Ball) champions — Chris Griffin and Mike DeRuiter! They shot a 135 during the two-day event to earn themselves a three-way tie with Inglis/Genson and 2013 Champions Sanford/Wojcicki; after heading to a playoff, they took home the title by birdieing the second playoff hole. Griffin and DeRuiter were also Champions in 2018.

The weather conditions looked like they could have been a challenge for the tournament with high winds on Saturday and a lightning storm delay Sunday morning, yet the scores told a different story. After day one, our field was competitive with each flight being separated by just three strokes and 21 teams shooting under par. And day two ended in many tiebreakers.

We had seven skins over the weekend — on Saturday, hole #4 Dawson/Shunsky, hole #11 Taylor/Buck, and hole #13 Genson/Inglis, and on Sunday, hole #4 Griffin/DeRuiter, hole #10 Pedler/Brott, and hole #18 Evans/Evans.

It was a windy first day of our 47th annual Oceana Best Ball—Joe Foster Open! We had a field of 105 teams for the two-day, 36-hole, four-ball stroke play tournament.

After day one, the flights are as follows:
CHAMPIONSHIP 68-71 (16 teams)
FIRST 72-75 (19 teams)
SECOND 76-79 (18 teams)
THIRD 80-83 (23 teams)
FOURTH 84+ (29 teams)

Day two will consist of placing 1st-6th in the Championship Flight and 1st-9th in flights First through Fourth.

​Below are the scores from Day 1 of the 2019 Joe Foster Open. Flights are as listed (CHAMP 65-70, FIRST 71-75, SECOND 76-79, THIRD 80-84, FOURTH 85+) as we continue tomorrow for the final Day 2!
