2021 Missouri Speedgolf Open at Mountain Top Course Recap:
It was a historic day at Mountain Top course at Big Cedar for our 2021 Missouri Speedgolf Open! With our biggest Mountain Top field ever, our group consisted of players from Kansas City, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island. Our group had new speedgolfers in their first competition as well as a former US Champ, the 2020 Mo Speedgolf Open champ, and the current Bob N Broc (Minnesota) Speedgolf champ!
Mountain Top was up to the challenge of providing a stern but (mostly) fair test to our participants—the last green was pretty brutal for all of us. The 13-hole par 3 course was firm, fast, and currently experiencing the strongest winds I’ve ever experienced there...and in a totally different direction! During the practice round prior to the event, winds were consistently 20+ mph and the exact opposite of the predominant wind direction so we were in for a new experience!
With that being said, in my tournament round at least, some of these strong winds seemed to stop to a dead calm and now the yardages were drastically different again. Due to these crazy weather changes, golf scores were higher for most returning participants.
Results are posted here and there was some stiff competition in the top division. We had two people go sub 16 which he never been done before and we had (I think) the lowest golf score (1 over par, 40) we’ve ever had. That winner, Jamie Young, proved that good golf makes for an easier route to victory and we congratulate him and the rest of the winners!
A big thanks to our volunteers for the event and of course the wonderful Big Cedar staff at Mountain Top course! Thank you for helping make this a memorable experience! . . . Oh yeah, and it was indeed a memorable experience for the Speedgolf couple that got engaged during the event! (But I’ll let them reveal themselves when they wish).
Our next big event is the Speedgolf USA 🇺🇸 US Championships, hosted locally in Springfield, Mo at Horton Smith Golf Course on Labor Day weekend this year!
The year has only just begun. Make 2021 the year of Speedgolf!
