Club titles to be decided this weekend
Sat 8-18-2018
JACKSON - Club titles for both the women and men will be on the line this weekend at Jackson Golf Club.
The women’s tournament is 18 holes, all on Saturday.
Kaylee (Benson) Holt, who won the last four club titles, is not entered third year.
This year's field looks to be wide open.
Kelly Benson won six straight titles from 2008-2013 before her daughter took over control of the titles.
Kelly needs one more title to equal the record of seven club titles shared by Linda Handevidt and LeeAnn Steen.
Kristin Hanson was second last year. Other contenders include 2007 champion Cindi Polz and Jan Fransen.
The men's championship flight starts Saturday.
Brett Benson has won two straight men's titles and eight overall. That puts him one shy of the record held by one of the other top contenders this year, Brent Chozen.
Chozen's last title was in 2014, when he moved ahead of Tom Gibbons.
Chozen has won club titles in five different decades and it's estimated he's finished in the top four 35 times.
Another past champion is in the field in 2001 winner Brandon Van’t Hul.
Among the others on the list of title contenders are Jerrod Hansen, Austin Olson, Tucker Polz, Tony Sadusky and Kip Wachal.
After 18 holes Saturday, golfers will be divided into championship, presidents, governor's and senator's flights and play another 18 Sunday. All other flights are 18 holes on Sunday.
