The Wisconsin Amusement and Music Operators Present the
Wisconsin
State Golden Tee Championship
Sponsored by: Miller Lite® and Bolle® Sunglasses
John Thurston Wins Top Dairy State
Golden Tee Honor
From September 1st
December 25th, 2004, Wisconsin Golden Tee players competed
for Best Average Score (20 Rounds) to qualify for the live Championship
Final at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The top qualifiers
were invited to participate in the event which was put on by the
Wisconsin Amusement and Music Operators and Incredible Technologies.
136
players traveled to the Kalahari Resort on January 21st, 2005, in
the midst of a cold Wisconsin blizzard on a quest to be crowned the
Wisconsin State GT Champion. Over $18,000 worth of cash and prizes awaited
them at the tournament, along with the worlds largest indoor water park and
29 tournament-ready Golden Tee machines inside the resorts premiere banquet
room. Along with the tournament machines, two Silver Strike Bowling games
and a Golden Tee LIVE were showcased at the event.
With so many players in attendance, a flighting system was used in order
give each player a fair chance at the prize pool, which was split evenly
among the two. A four-course qualifier was used in order seed players, of
which the top 32 players in each flight moved on to double elimination match
play. Scroll down for results!
