Duncan Hillclimber ... the tradition continues

[wforest]

… WHAT a group of (very-smart) Pre-Registered Players … WOW … because the Duncan HillClimber is one Grade-A Event … NOT-to-be-missed ! … ( I unfortunately will ; the missus having some surgery this Friday ) …
.
.
… but , allow me to venture forth some “predictions” for this great gig :
.
.
… No Snow this year …
… 2 Cool Courses running simultaneously and smoothly by the Twisted One himself (and Staff) …
… Good Eats , Good Camping , Good Times all around …
.
… “predictions” by Division (as the entrants to date) :
.
… Open Pro
(no Coda H. or Devan O. in right now, or they could prevail)
… a close competition between Mitch Mc and Matt Steward for the Top Spot … I would guess the MacAttack …
.
… Pro Women
(unless Jennifer Allen or Danielle Vargas step in)
… it’s a runaway for Megan Burch (with a smile)
.
… Pro Masters
Clint McClellan over Tony Shirley in a close one … if Gunner or Tony slip , watch out for John Logan …
.
… Pro GrandMasters
David Wise , Kyle Power , Eric Rainey all got the chops to win this thing … gotta give the nod to Wise (he’s older and craftier) …
.
… Advanced
WHAT Talent assembled here … Steve Hatcher to prevail over Joseph Stettinger and River Sky Eagle …
.
… Advanced Women
Om Chansombat … she’s really improved her game …
.
… Advanced Masters
(with the World Champion himself TD’ing the Tournament ; this field could be wide-open)
I think Don Cook wins it all ; but if Cam Kaspereit’s knee is ok , he and Mike Moore could be in the hunt … dark-horse to watch = Chris Wood …
.
… Advanced Masters Women
Upset Special : Nancy Burklin (inchworm) to make less mistakes and win it …
.
… Advanced GrandMasters
Terrill has ruled in the past , but I think that Tom Lowry will win , with Jack Banks lurking …
.
… Intermediate
BIG field of Players … if Schwake doesn’t enter , Kelly Dewey (home court) or D-Ron Miller will be able to keep Jeremy Sanchez from taking the trophy back to Texas with him … barely …
.
… Recreational
Douglas Maxfield could be a front-runner , but I think Kevin Molander from OKC sneaks-in-the-win …
.
… Recreational Women
Amber Prosser in an upset win …
.
Junior Girls
Desiree Duran to win … (taking her Trophy back to Pinetop , Arizona) … Chelsea Dewey will keep it close on her home-course …
.
.
.
… well , that’s my view from the cheap seats … sorry I can’t be there to mix-it-up with my friends …
