Emerald Bay shafts Bluff with a Sunday come back
The annual Emerald Bay Challenge with Eagles Bluff could not have had much more drama.
Emerald Bay started of the day on Saturday morning taking a 23-26 lead in points over Eagle Bluff, at the Emerald Bay course, in a scramble format.
Saturday afternoon, the team treked to Eagle's Bluff, and the lead changed after 18- holes of Alternative Shot play, as Eagles Bluff took the round at 231/2 to 151/2 points, but the two-day total left Eagles Bluff with a narrow one-point lead going into Sunday's final round back at Emerald Bay.
The Emerald Bay team made up for lost ground in match play on Sunday as they closed out with a 241/2 to 141/2 in round three. The Emerald Bay crew then took a 41-37 advantage on the final round to take the win in match play, 104-91.
