The two biggest stories of the 77th Pine to Palm Golf Tourna-ment will collide Sunday morn-ing in the semifinal round. The week started with a one-day qualifying record set by Fargo’s Tom Hoge, who shot a nine-under par 62 Tuesday. That story quickly suc-cumbed to another historical happening after Oxbow 17-year-old Amy Anderson became the first-ever female to qualify for Championship match play. After a week of playing in the headlines, the two meet in the semifinals Sunday morn-ing. “It’s incredible,” Hoge said of Anderson’s feat of winning four matches and playing to the semifinals. “I heard she is shooting four or five under par, so this should be fun — a lot of fun.” Anderson knows of Hoge’s accomplishments throughout his career — including finish-ing third in the Division I men’s golf National Tournament to earn All-American honors and taking the Minnesota State Am-ateur championship. Anderson — who also has a big win this summer in the form of the U.S. Junior Girls Amateur championship — also knows the semi’s is another en-tire mountain to scale from the one she conquered throughout Pine to Palm week. “I will literally have to take it one shot at a time, playing noth-ing but fairways and greens and make all my putts,” Anderson said of her impending semi-final showdown with Hoge. “I am not intimidated, but I do re-spect him. I’ve followed him as a player and this will be one of my biggest challenges yet. “But I learned at the U.S. Am-ateur that anyone is beatable.” Anderson started creating a good buzz with her first two victories over Peter Krier and Wade Walters. That buzz started picking up volume Saturday with a come-from-behind win over 53-year-old Scott Linnerooth 1-up, then topping Justin Jenkins in the afternoon 2 and 1. Under downpour conditions, Anderson was able to tread out a 2-up lead after the first two holes on a pair of pars. That was extended to 3-up af-ter Jenkins hit into the trees on hole 12. A birdie on 14 by Jenkins cut the deficit down to 2-up, but An-derson delivered the decisive blow by making par. She finished it up with a sol-id shot using a hybrid club on 17 near the hole to close the match out.

As each hole went by, the light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the final four was brighten-ing for Anderson — and she no-ticed it. “I was really wanting to make the semifinals and I usu-ally don’t try and get ahead of myself, but I was thinking of it as the match was closing to an end,” Anderson said. Hoge has been as consistent as any golfer throughout match play by rarely trailing and win-ning convincingly with a pair of 3 and 2 wins in the first two rounds. He had to grind out a hard-fought victory over Max Hosk-ings in the morning round Saturday, finally winning 1-up, then got back to his dominat-ing ways with a 4 and 2 triumph over 1995 Pine to Palm champi-on Mike Halverson. An eagle chip-in on six and a drive on seven which was pin high to left, erased a 1-down deficit, while a good wedge shot on nine put Hoge 1-up against Halverson in the quarterfinals. After a very close start, Hoge was able to stay on track after that eagle on six and cruise for the win. “It was close on the front nine and I knew I was going to have to play well to beat him,” Hoge said. “We were just throw-ing birdies at each other.” But Hoge out-birdied Halver-son by finishing with an eight-under par score by hole 16. “If I can keep shooting eight-under, it’ll be hard to beat me,” Hoge added. In the bottom bracket, a pair of University of Minnesota Golden Gophers will be pitted against each other. Cameron White played through the monsoon with a 1-up win over New Mexico Uni-versity’s Jon Sauer and halted Frazee 16-year-old Beau Han-son’s unprecedented journey through match play with a 7 and 6 win. Gopher teammate Thomas Campbell — a native of New Zealand — completed the double

U of M sweep Saturday with a 2 and 1 win over defending cham-pion Ben Freeman and a 4 and 2 defeat of two-time Pine to Palm champion Rick Kuhn. The duo were the only Go-phers entered in the tourna-ment and it didn’t go unnoticed that the two could meet up in match play in the semifinals. “Yeah, we talked about it ear-lier in the week,” said White, who played to the semifinals two years ago after carding a medalist record 12-under par 130. “It will be a friendly match. It’s good that we didn’t have to meet up earlier in the tourna-ment, but it came in the semifi-nals. “There will be one Gopher in the finals for sure.” White birdied the first hole on Hanson which led to a bogey on the second — the only time the Gopher shot over par on a hole in the round. White was five-under par by the 12th hole as he built a 6-up lead. “I played well and he did hit some wayward shots, which hurt him,” White said. “I just played my game and controlled what I could control.” Campbell defeated two for-mer Pine to Palm champions by not necessarily having his best putting game intact. “I hit the ball well when I was putting, but nothing was dropping,” Campbell said. “The weather was rough there for a bit in the quarterfinal match (against Kuhn) and I won the first couple of holes and got an edge on him. “I didn’t get into much trou-ble at all most of the day.” Campbell added both he and White know each other’s weak-nesses and strengths, but there will be one facet of his game that will be on. “I know I will be putting better (Sunday),” Campbell said. “But it’s going to be a fun match, something I will enjoy.” The upper bracket in semifi-nal play will tee off at 7:50 a.m. while the lower bracket will fol-low at 8 a.m. The championship match will follow, starting at 2:45 p.m.

2009 Pine to Palm Senior Championship

By BRIAN [email protected]

Each of Detroit Lakes’ William Blake and T.L. Solien of Madison, Wisc., know what it feels like being just one step away from a Pine to Palm Senior’s champion-ship. Both golfers have played in Senior’s championship matches — Blake in 1999 and Solien in 2007 — and each fin-ished as runners-up in those particular years. But by the time Sunday ends, one will know what it feels like to be a Se-nior champion. The duo will face each other in the title match starting at 12:40 p.m. after surviving semifinal play Saturday. Blake, who won medalist laurels with a one-over par 72, downed Perry Clark of Detroit Lakes 1-up after play-ing through the monsoons of the De-troit Country Club. As has been the case all week, Blake’s putter came in handy in some tight mo-ments. He made birdie on 13 and 16, with both being near the eight-foot mark. In the end, it was the putter which doomed Clark, who three-putted on 18, while Blake two-putted to take the match. “My putting was good again today,” Blake said. “When I have been standing over my ball to putt, I’ve been confident. I didn’t have any three putts today.” Solien was able to build a 4-up lead after five holes on Detroit Lakes’ Bill Hawkins, which was ideal for the Uni-versity of Wisconsin artist/professor, who saw his counterpart chisel away at

the deficit. Hawkins started out sluggish, losing to birdie on one, then falling to pars on holes two through four. But he took eight and nine with pars, to chip the lead down to two holes at the turn. A par by Hawkins on 11 knocked So-lien’s advantage to 1-up. But a nice sand wedge shot by So-lien on 12 to set up a birdie stopped the bleeding as a pair of pars on 13 and 14 gave him back a 3-up edge. A birdie on 15 salted away the win. “All I wanted to do was make par and I got the big birdie on 12,” Solien said. “It was nice having that early 4-up lead, because I could afford to have one of those mid-round collapses.” With the championship match be-tween the two former runners-up, each wished for better weather, a golden put-ter and a different perspective when they play in the title match. “When I was in the championship match 10 years ago, I put a lot of pres-sure on myself and that hurt me,” Blake said. “I just need to go out and play as well as I can and keep telling myself don’t give up and keep on trying.” For Solien, a calmer demeanor may mean the difference of claiming his first Senior’s championship. “The year before in the champion-ship match, my nerves got the best of me,” Solien added. “I’m just hoping to go out and hit my fairways and greens and chip it close.”

The Pine to Palm Mid-Am experi-ment can be deemed a success and the two benefactors who will put the excla-mation points on the inaugural year will be Fargo’s Jay Olafson and Jamestown’s Kent Fronk. The Mid-Am duo played their way to the first championship in the division after playing through a wet and soggy semifinal round Saturday. For Olafson — who beat medalist Otis Hesteness 2-up — the rain was actually a blessing, as he took a 3-up lead in the torrential downpour by the turn. “I was just playing straight ahead when it was down pouring,” Olafson said. “The greens were putting fair, but neither one of us really had any big mistakes. “I was hitting my greens in regula-tion, I just couldn’t make my putts.” Fronk and Tom Solien were neck-and-neck all the way through the round up to hole 17. There wasn’t a larger lead than 1-up for neither golfer, but on hole 16, Solien gave Fronk a birdie putt after he hit be-hind a tree and was shooting for bogey. On 17, Fronk clamped down and took advantage of a nice drive and approach to make birdie to win the hole and match 2-up. “It was close all the way through and we were even for the most part of the round,” Fronk said. “It does feel good to be in the finals, because it’s tough

against all the good competition which has played in it all week.” The Mid-Am championship match between Olafson and Fronk will start at 1 p.m.

Dick McConn has played some of the best and most famous courses in the world, but there is only one he keeps coming back to — the Detroit Country Club. The same can be said about McConn’s experiences with some of the top-rated amateur golf tournaments in the world — but the one he continuously returns to is the Pine to Palm Tournament. It is for those reasons McConn was named as the 2009 Rutledge Award win-ner after 40 years of dedication to the Pine to Palm Golf Tournament. McConn’s career — who was an offi-cer in the Air Force and currently the CEO of several aviation companies in Washington D.C., Canada, Morocco and Corpus Christi, Texas — has allowed him to play and experience the top golf courses and tournaments in the world. But it’s the attraction of what the Pine to Palm Tournament offers which has McConn become a usual for the last

40 years. “I’ve been to lots of tournaments throughout the world and have been the chairman of some of them, but none of them can beat the Pine to Palm,” McConn said. “It’s just a great, little place to go and the tournament is good just because of the way it’s run. “There’s some humility to it and it has a down home feel. It’s also just an honor to be given the Rutledge Award.” McConn’s parents owned a cabin on Lake Melissa since the 1950’s and that’s when he was introduced to the tourna-ment. As a 16-year-old, he played in his first Pine to Palm and he shot a 77-77 for a 12-over par 154, missing the cut by 10 strokes. “That was a bit humbling,” McConn chuckled. With his family living in the lakes area for all those years, McConn learned to love the DCC and the tournament it ran in early August. “For the people who grew up here and moved away, the tournament is a rally-ing point for them,” McConn said. After joining the Air Force Academy and serving in Vietnam, as well as trav-eling through the service and his job, McConn has missed nine years of the Pine to Palm off and on. He has forged many friendships and relationships through the years he has competed and attended the tournament, including Jack Rule, who won the tour-nament three years in a row from 1958 through 1960. Still close friends with Rule, McConn said the golfer from Waterloo, Iowa, was one of the best golfers to play in the Pine to Palm. “Historically speaking, Jack was one of the greatest players to play in the Pine to Palm,” McConn added. “He won it three years in a row and lost his fourth one in 1961 as runner-up (to Dayton Olson 3 and 1).” McConn had some deep runs into Championship match play, the longest in 1981 when he played to the semifi-nals, before losing to eventual champion Mark Norman on the last hole.

The uniqueness of the DCC golf course has also been an attraction to McConn. “Even though the course is only 6,100 yards long, everybody still wants to play it,” McConn said. “It offers a challenge and golf is about confronting your fears. Anybody can play this course, too, due to the fact that it’s short and you can attack it. “But you need to hit it straight.” And he has shared his love of the tournament and the area with many people, including his wife Mili, who grew up in Colorado. The McConn pair rebuilt a new cabin on his parent’s Melissa site and now Mili lives in it during the summer, while Dick travels for work. “Mili loves it here, there just isn’t anything more anchored than living here,” McConn included. He has also introduced the area to some influential friends.

This past July 4, he invited a four-star general, former Secretary of the Air Force Mike Wynne and a couple of CEO’s of multi-billion dollar companies down to his place on Lake Melissa. “These guys have traveled to many exotic places in the world, but all of them just loved it here,” McConn. “There’s an attraction here.” The Pine to Palm Tournament car-ries that attitude, sort of a microcosm of small town America. “There’s a mentality that’s not preten-tious or sanctimonious here,” McConn said. After a successful life, McConn is now ready to give back, especially to the sport of golf. “There are three basic elements to life,” he said. “Earn, learn and then return. I’m at the return stage of my life. I want to return what golf has given me.”

Fifteen teams battled the elements trying to beat the rain so they could have a pizza brunch. The Parent Child scramble was cut to a nine hole round and the heavens opened up and the field had their first slice of pizza in their mouths by 10:00am. In the 9 & under division Ron and Adam Van Raden shot a smooth even par round of 27 to take top honors. In the 10 & over division, the only under

par round in the field came from Ted and Isaac Cihak with two birdies and one bogey for a 26. Adam Van Raden took home all the goods winning with his dad and also winning two proximities! Once again, it was nice to see parents playing competition with their kids. Golf is even a more special experience when shared by the family. Thanks!
