Chris Austin and Andy Lesenski take the Greenfield Four-Ball in dominating fashion...

It's a grueling weekend of golf. It's days of carefully plotting your way around the golf course and trying to drive the stake into your opponent. It's hard work, but if you play well, it can be four of the most rewarding days for an amateur golfer to win the Country Club of Greenfield's 4-ball.

Every year some of the best players come out to play in this great event. This year was no different.

The big story is always in the Champion Division. Lately, golf in our area has been dominated by the older, more experienced guys. Names like Bergeron, Ruschioni, and Varner. This year it was the young guns turn.

Chris Austin and Andy Lesenski dominated the field over that last four days to win on Sunday 5&3 over Mike Johnson and Max Wolanske. They used their incredible distance and accuracy to bring the golf course and their opponents to their knees. When you can hit your driver and then a short iron into even the longest par 5's, it really plays to your advantage.

I have been able to witness the practice and dedication that has gone in to preparing their games first hand. Both Austin and Lesenski are members at our course, The Crumpin-Fox Club. Lesenski has spent countless hours on the range in the last few weeks, really dedicating his time to improving his already solid golf game. Austin prefers to play side matches and 36-hole rounds in order to prepare his game for competition.

It's really exciting as a golf professional to see these guys playing so well. They are the future of our club, and they are the future of great golf in our area. It also ignites the already fierce rivalry between our club and The Country Club of Greenfield. It should make for some exciting golf come October and the Franklin Cup, an annual match between the best players at both clubs.

Congrats guys, your hard work paid off, enjoy it!

Chris
