Hopefully your area of the country is better than this.On July 4th, DW Fields will host The George Aspacher Memorial, a 2-man best ball tournament which is know as the warm up for Brockton's first major of the year, the city Four Ball.

The Annual John Pinetti Memorial finished in a playoff today with  the team of Clark/Knox edging out  Bellew/Orthman. The two teams decided before the playoff to split the 1st and second prize cash of $3,000. There was twenty 2-man teams in the tourney and their combined handicap could not be less than 14. This tournament was a scramble format and each player had to use 8 tee shots. Needless to say there is a lot of strategy involved in this format. On Sunday October 18th the annual Fall Classic also played at DW Fields will take place with the same format. The fall classic is open to any team that has a valid GHIN handicap.
