DEFENDING CHAMPS TAKE BIG LEAD IN NSL 2011 GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

The Winners, Parc at Duluth (Duluth, GA), shot an incredible 24 under par in the first round of the NSL Senior National Wii Golf Championships to lead by 19 shots over second place Fredericka Golfers, Fredericka Manor (Chula Vista, CA). The GRRRBirdies, Grande Ronde Retirement Residences (La Grande, OR) lead the Village Eagles, The Villages at Unity (Rochester, NY) by 1 shot for 3rd place.

Harry Sanger led The Winners with a 9 under 27 followed closely by Wii golfmates Dolly Fyffe (28) and Bill Taylor (29). The trio also lead the individual competition but have plenty of competition as 9 Wii golfers broke par.

The Winners are the defending NSL National Wii Golf Champions and proved too strong for the competition in the first round of play. Four players compete on each team with the top 3 scores counting in team play. The NSL Championship features 4 rounds of competition followed by one week of playoffs. The playoffs take place the week of July 25th.

In the individual competition John and Bob Bates, father/son, went head to head with John (shooting a 35) double bogeying the last hole to fall three strokes behind son, Bob (shooting a 32). Both remain in the hunt for individual honors.

Dennis Berkholtz, NSL Founder and Tournament Director, commented on The Winners continued success - "they have to be practicing every day to be that good. Their 4th score posted by Bob Clausen was 5 under and it didn't even count!"
