95th Whispering Hills Men’s Golf Championship
at Hanover
Shawn Kaufman (46) of Walkerton became a 6-time club champion, shooting an 8-over-par 79.
When asking Kaufman after his round about his win, he replied;
” Well, the work at Ironwedge Target Greens Range the last couple years showed today. I didn’t play well at times, but, my floor has been raised where today was a 79. A couple of years ago that would have been in the 80’s. Irons and wedges were good all day. Fourteen of eighteen greens I was on in regulation, or no more than 12 feet off the green. I think my struggles were with tempo off the tee. I got quicker as the day went along. Always been a struggle of mine in tournaments. The practice at Ironwedge Target Greens Range has made my irons and wedges pretty solid — no troubles there. It’s an investment in your game to be a member at Ironwedge. History will show how many good players have been members of Ironwedge. It’s not a fluke that the Ironwedge range members have success. Nice to see John (Bubba) Hoffarth win 3rd place, he has definitely improved this year. ”
