May 17 - 20 Hole Annual GOLF SCORED FT Match
It was a wonderful day for a golf outing...and or a Field Target Shoot. At Desoto Airgunners
we combine the two in our unique Golf Scored Field Target Event. Today's 20 target match
had an even number of piston and precharge shooters competiting. Considering the difficulty
of the course and conditions, the scores were pretty tight except for Ron Zeman's smoking performance
with his LG100ZM. A fantastic (low) score of 8!
Just to review this game... low score wins. Up to three shots are allowed in attempt to knock the target down.
Miss all 3 shots at the target and score a 4. Hit on your third shot, score a 3; hit on your second shot, score a 2;
hit on your first shot, a "hole in one", you score it a 1..AND, you'll have the option of taking another shot at
the same target. If you hit again, you score a "0" for that target. However, if you miss on that second shot,
you score a 2 for that target. This risk - reward factor becomes a big part of the game. Knowing which target
to "double up on" can be key to winning a golf scored match.
There were enough (apparently) "easy" targets that even the most conservative of shooters were tempted to take
that second shot after a good first shot. As we all know even the simple ones are never a sure thing. There was
agony across the face of many shooters after missing a "gimme", specially when their score ballooned from a
potential zero to a 2 when they missed their elected second shot. Florida is known for it's terrific golf venues. Now
in southwest Florida, Desoto Airgunners has combined the fun and frustration of golf with the challenges of field target
shooting. We would suggest other clubs give it a try too.
