Train Wreck - Tom Martell
On this episode, we hear from Tom Martell (coordinator) about the "Train Wreck" event at Royal Colwood. The Train Wreck is a 2 man team event, where the team collects points and tries to avoid having a train wreck (which means both players score net bogey or worse).
Net Bogey = 0 points
Net Par = 1 point
Net Birdie = 2 points
Net Eagle = 5 points
Net Double Eagle = 8 points
At Royal Colwood, there are 2 Train Wreck events each year, 1 in the Summer and 1 in the Fall.
Tom talks about some of the history of the train wreck and more details about playing in this fun tournament!
Congrats to the 2024 Winners:
Summer - Kent Campbell & Tristan Story
Fall - Ted Rush & Kirk Handrahan
