Runny Nose Open Postponed
December 2005
An early taste of winter
left snow on the ground for the traditional Saturday-after-Thanksgiving Runny
Nose Open. As a result, the event was postponed for the
first time in its 5-year history. The tournament might be
rescheduled for a January or February date in the new year if a
winter thaw times itself just right for a Saturday afternoon.

Central division
Commissioner Greg Kline led a team of 8 players to victory in the first
Commissioner's Cup. Played on Friday, October 7th, and Saturday,
October 8th, at the Lakes of Taylor Golf Club in Taylor, the inaugural
Commissioner's Cup was hailed as a great success among the
participants. Introducing team match play to the Mulligan Tour
added a special ending to the Tour season in 2005.
Team Central took 6 of 8
points on Friday and 6 more points on Saturday morning in the team
matches. Saturday afternoon saw the Central players split the 8
singles matches to claim the first Cup 16 to 8. DeVonne Mowry and
David Martin were perfect going 5-0-0 in their matches netting the
Central 6 of their 16 points.

Whitmore Lake. The matches moved to the Woodlands of Van Buren for
the semi-finals and finals where Kline dispatched Rick Persichetti and

Father
& Son team take the Green Towels
May
2005
Tom W. Litzler and his son Tom R.
Litzler won the 2005 Memorial Tournament on May 21st at
Willow Metropark GC in New Boston.
The partners earned their first Tour victories together in the
2-player scramble event – the Tour’s oldest tournament.
And they did so in record fashion.
They finished with 7 birdies against a single bogey to card a
6-under par 65 – 1-stroke better than the previous record held by 4
different teams.
The major title came with a $40
paycheck and a Green Towel embroidered with the Memorial logo and the
words “2005 Champions”. The
Green Towels are theirs to keep – forever a reminder of the winning
performance at the 2005 Memorial Tournament.
The Litzler’s are also both qualified for each of the division
championships. The
Player’s Championship (Central division) is scheduled for August 27th
but the host course is not yet determined.
The Western Championship (West division) is also scheduled for
August 27th tentatively at Stonebridge GC in Ann Arbor.
Tournament hosts Erik and Susan
Meland finished in a tie for 3rd 4-strokes behind the champs.
It marked their 4th top-4 finish in the last 5 years
at their tournament.
