Beebe Bronze

Team Okemos Stuns the Field, Takes Third

HASLETT, MICHIGAN JUNE 29, 2003

A dozen years from now, ask any of the members of Ron Dooley's squad about the 2003 Beebe Open - they'll certainly be able to recall the events of the day in vivid detail.

 

 It was a day when a team of a ringer, Brian Lewis, and three hackers (Ron along with Kelley Kuehne and Greg Dooley) took dead aim at the field and somehow shot a brilliant 11 under par & finished third out of a field of 44 teams. 

 

The key shots:

- Ron's 30 foot chip on #10 that put us about 7 feet from the pin and set up a birdie.

- Kelley carried the team on the first few holes, but the big play of the day had to be the bending circus putt he drained on #17.  It's what got us to 11 under.

- Greg contributed strong play but the finest was the 185 yard approach on #9 that stopped just 6 feet from the pin.

- Lew bailed the fellers out on several holes down the stretch.  The brew and stogies clearly took a toll.

Kays and Ron about to step into one of our luxurious sleds.  It was the first year we had the pleasure of a covered cart thanks to a small payoff, er..I mean, donation.  G and the K-man enjoying a couple victory John Daly's.  Beebe laughs it up afterwards.  Even Beebe was surprised at the Oke-town smackdown we layed upon the boys from Haslett.. Lew (in white above) was the anchor, hitting several clutch shots when the 3 of us shanked it.
